Outdoor Malls
Okay, who thought it was a good idea in Nebraska to start the open air “Outdoor Strip Malls” again? You know back in the 70’s they started building all these great Malls with indoor heating and airconditioning and you went into the Mall entrance and you could enjoy a climate controlled environment. We are just getting into the season of shopping and it is so damn cold who would want to go to an outdoor mall and we now have plenty of them! Omaha, Lincoln, Gretna, all over the state we have these strip malls that we have to park and walk thru rain, sleet and snow to buy a kitchen gadget that our Mom wants, a sweatshirt for our spoiled neice that is two blocks away from the kitchen store and of course our Dad needs something from Sears which is in the empty Mall clear across town. You have no time or interest in going from store to store meandering in and out just to enjoy the afternoon shopping. Now it’s just another task that must be done. I am the first one that will say it is wonderful to be able to stroll the avenue when the weather is nice but we live in NEBRASKA!!!! Now seems like a great time if you could afford it to open a boutique or some retail store in some of the empty malls across the state and advertise that you can do one stop shopping once again without it being Wal-Mart. The midwest is still spending money we just want to spend it in comfort!

I agree! Outdoor malls seem silly in our climate. Have they become so popular because the indoor malls got too greedy with rent they are charging?
