such variety there. wow I wonder how I have missed it all these years.
cait48 (anonymous) says…
I'm sorry but this is a bit of a lame question. It's a shopping center. Ask them, "What are your plans for Black Friday?" or given the area of town ask a Haskell related question. "How do you feel about the possibility schools might be closed?" is a timely, local question.
This question just looks like it got pulled out of the bottom of the drawer from a file called "Possible future questions" and it was down in the dregs at that.

I love TG&Y.
cait48 (anonymous) says…
God I just wish tg&y was still around. Ran into a Ben Franklin in WA a few years back. Loved it, just LOVED it. Miss them too :(

Pinot Noir. Sometimes a nice out of the way Merlot is nice though.
prospector (anonymous) says…
The Malls? It isn't even a mall.
Tear it down and bring back the drive-in movies and the Dynomite.

"It's very convenient. I'm only a short distance away." ---William Coil, retired, Ft. Wayne, Ind. Ft. Wayne, Indiana?!
Did that strike anyone else as funny?
Those wacky retirees.... All the time in the world on their hands. Ft. Wayne to Lawrence, KS, is a "short distance"? I suppose he heads over to Portland, Maine, for the Friday night special at the Lobster Shack, as it's only a hop, skip, & jump from Ft. Wayne, too.

T_O_B,
"Because I like going rogue."
Just seeking clairification...
Do you like the book, or is that some code for "I have a down low thing going with the helpful hardware man"?
puddleglum (anonymous) says…
the malls?
what a larf!
RETICENT_IRREVERENT (Ronaldo Ignacio) says…
Py,
I am sure if someone came up to you on the street, asked you the OTS question, and asked your name and where you were from you would answer: Pywacket, Pig Snout, Michigan.
honeychild (Mel Briscoe) says…
grandmammy, i remember when aldi's was there... wow, that was a while ago. i think that's the first aldi's i ever shopped at.

drive-in movies and the dynomite...now that's a while back... : )
how about griff's [home of the 15 cent hamburger} and allen's drive-in [a great place to hang out] a little way up 23rd street?
The_Original_Bob (anonymous) says…
"Do you like the book, or is that some code for “I have a down low thing going with the helpful hardware man”?" RI
I haven't got past the cover of the book yet. Nothing with the hardware man.
RETICENT_IRREVERENT (Ronaldo Ignacio) says…
T_O_B,
The cover?

Great shops with great people.

R_I (scuffing toe of shoe on sidewalk outside of Radio Shack)~~ Well, shucks, I guess I would have to be true to my home town and all my fellow Snoutians, no matter how long I've lived in these-here parts.... So, yeah--maybe he lives 3 blocks away from the Malls and just identifies with Ft. Wayne.
It's still funny, though!

Westlake used to have a limited supply of lumber but most of it was crap. It was either bowed, twisted, or warped.

Is Pet World considered part of the Malls shopping area? They have quality rabbit food in bulk, this makes me very happy.
Pywacket (anonymous) says…
Yes--and Pet World has frozen mice, which make my snake very happy.
Jillster (anonymous) says…
We most often go to The Malls because of Westlake Hardware, but every now and then I go to Lasting Impressions to shop for clothes. Every now and then Radio Shack and Hume Music also come in handy!
jaycat (anonymous) says…
I just go to look at very intelligent women. I mean the MORE intelligent the better.

Jillster,
Hume moved from The Malls to Orchards Shopping Center on 15th & Kasold a while ago.

Wow...Multidisciplinary has a great memory! Pet Step was in the late 70s and early 80s. Then it was Pet World owned by the Stice family. This Pet World has had the same owners, Tim and Sherry Emerson, since 1988. You might say I know them personally...
