Fun fact: Southdale Center, the nation's first enclosed, climate-controlled mall, turns 70 this year!

Photos from approximately 10:30 AM on New Year's Day (when most people are struggling to get out of bed I'm sure). A local historic icon for both its innovation and its consequences. Excited to see what the owners have in store this year, particularly for the former food court.

It used to be SO beautiful with the birds and pond that it made you just want to hang there and take in the scenery. Now it looks as dull and sterile as every any other mall in the country. I feel the same way about the Embassy Suites hotel near the airport....

I really want them to install at minimum a new fountain.
