Southdale Center

Southdale has come a long way over the past few years, and it shows. The updates and renovations have made a noticeable difference, and the mall feels much more modern and intentional than it used to. There’s no longer a shortage of recognizable brand-name stores, which makes it feel more like a true shopping destination again. That said, there are still a few odd, lesser-known shops scattered throughout with inconsistent or unusual hours, which can be a little confusing. The food options are decent. The traditional food court is a bit of a letdown, but there are better standalone options throughout the mall like Rustica Bakery, Pezzo Pizza, Yumi Sushi, People’s Organic, and others. Having Kowalski’s grocery store on-site is also a big plus and adds convenience. Entertainment-wise, there’s more to do now with options like an escape room and Dave & Buster’s. The mall is spacious, never feels overly crowded, and has plenty of parking, which makes it easy and stress-free to visit. Overall, the updates are a very welcome change. Southdale feels revitalized, easier to navigate, and much more enjoyable than it was a few years ago.

Southdale Center in Edina, MN has always had a special place in my heart. It was the first indoor mall in Minnesota. I believe it was built in 1956. I remember going there as a child for all the holiday celebrations and I always wanted to go to Woolworths because they had the best toys. The mall has expanded and changed so much over the last 25 years you hardly recognize it anymore. But all these changes were for the better period not only did it expand its footprint for better parking as well as huge anchor stores like Macy's large restaurants, but it’s also filled with unique stores. Many that you have heard of before like lululemon, Rag Stock, Lens Crafters, coach, polo by Ralph Lauren just to name a few. It's also fun to discover new stores that you're not familiar with that carry some amazing products. There is several different food options, things for the whole family to do as well as a wonderful clean and fun atmosphere. Over the years once the Mall of America was opened, a lot of the smaller outdoor malls and strip malls ended up closing. With Southdale, Ridgedale as well as Rosedale have all been able to survive and thrive by changing with the times to what the customers want. Southdale Mall is great for a lot of my clients who live in the Bloomington, Richfield and Edina areas. Because it's close and easy to get to. Being that it's smaller but with lots of options for parking, for many it works to make a quick run to the store versus going to the Mall of America which could take a lot more time. I've been selling homes in the metro area for over 23 years period most of my clients that I sell to in this area utilize not only Southdale mall but all the wonderful stores, restaurants and other shopping experiences around it. No matter how busy it gets, there's more than enough ample parking. I would say that it's morphed a little bit more into a mall that's like the Galleria that's just down the road. A lot of high-end shops with amazing items for sale. You won't find a dollar store in this mall

Nice mix of middle/upper-tier retailers. Really impressed at how they are transforming the mall. Only disappointment was the food court. After buying my wife a $3k LV bag we were hoping to grab a fresh New York slice from Sbarro or Orange Chicken bowl from Panada express, the entire food court was empty!!

Great mall lots of stores and restaurants. Lots of parking. Mall is well kept and clean. Several walkers are doing laps so it’s safe nice.

Great stores, with a wide variety. The mall is kept really clean. Could use some more restaurants in the food court, but there’s plenty to do in the area, from Dave & Busters to AMC.

It was a bad experience on a Sunday. We are at a restaurant (meal was horrible) inside the mall and then decided to find a place for a desert. There weren't maps that we could locate a desert store. Needed to go the bathroom and were led a very long distance down a hallway that was very secluded and potentially dangerous. After walking a distance we found the grocery store that had ice cream that was horrible tasting. Turned to leave back to our car and the mall doors locked us out from returning to our car. We ended up leaving the grocery store out of the mall and tumbling down a rather steep hill to walk outside all the way around the mall back to where we had parked our car. Absolutely wrong and dangerous. Very bad experience in the Southdale Center. Will not go back there ever again.

The employees @ the Polo Ralph Lauren store are great! Their level of expertise & attention to detail make shopping there a great experience. They will help you get anything you need & are always so helpful! The manager April has a great team! Definitely visit the store if you are in the area!

I'm happy to see new stores coming in, but if this mall want's to attract luxury shoppers then they really need to clean the place up. So much garbage and graffiti in the parking lot and it's very dark at night. Landscaping is dead and not well maintained. Mall tables and chairs are dirty and the place has a musty smell. If you want me to come and spend $$ at these stores then the place better look the part! New management and maintenance is needed if they want to succeed.

Really disappointed by this mall. It was difficult to navigate because of escalator closures, and there were a lot of empty storefronts and construction happening. There were not many stores I was interested in going into. There was no directory- you had to use your phone to try and figure out where stores were. Overall vibe was just sad. I was there during a weekday and it was deserted. I hope once the construction is done that more stores go in, and it picks up a little, but I would not go back.

Many of the ships ate closed up today and there doesn't seem to be a lot of people inside the malls or any of the open stores, including Macy's. It's the most dead I have ever seen a mall that's not been permanently shut down. Dismal shopping options here.

I left because there was no directory anywhere. I saw one sign that had a QR code for a directory app. No way. Next time MOA.

Meh. Not many stores, restaurants are closing. Makeup at Sephora was dirty and picked over.

This mall was only good for the sees candy but not good store wise, I understand not being from the area that this was the very first mall opened but still.

Love this shopping center as an exercise in moderation: sizable enough to have my standby mall classics (Gap, Banana, Loft, etc.), but smaller than the gargantuan Mall of America. I try to do my online returns and a bit of shopping here when I'm in the area, since the malls in the NE suburbs are pretty run-down post-pandemic and lack the stores I shop at. For my fellow lactating folks, there is now a truly private, dedicated space to nurse or pump that is not a bathroom (although they have a few family restrooms too!). It's all off the Dining Pavilion in the 2nd floor next to the restrooms. It personally makes me more relaxed while shopping to know baby and I will have a quiet place with a comfy chair, sink for hand washing, and clean-looking changing table to collect ourselves and nurse. Look for the frosted glass door label "Nursing" just past the family restrooms.

Southdale Center is a mall in Edina. If you'd like an alternative to spending hours walking around the Mall of America down the road to either shop or figure out where you had parked your car, come here. Macy's anchors the mall as its major department store. It's funny how I ended up being a huge Macy's fan after I left Minnesota. It has pretty good sales. I got hooked on the Style and Co. line of clothing. I still don't have a need to buy any more pieces, as I am still wearing a lot of them! It also sells Kipling handbags, which I absolutely love. There is an AMC if you want to take in a movie. It's close by to The Cheesecake Factory, PF Chang's, and Buffalo Wild Wings. It's the perfect combination of dining and movie-going. I was thrilled that there is now a Smashburger at the mall, which is one of my favourite burger joints that I like to frequent when I am in the States. I will need to eat there when I'm not full from shovelling food from The Cheesecake Factory. This mall has stores that suits my needs. Gap is bright and had decent deals at the back of the store. I was thrilled to visit the Chatime for my bubble tea fix. I also spotted Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, and See's Candies. There are also vending machines scattered around the mall that piqued my interest. I was playing with the touchscreen on the Proactiv vending machine. It's cool to get your skin care needs with a few taps. I also wanted to get some Mini Melts ice cream, but I was so full from lunch that I had to pass. This mall has a Hockey Lodge store, which is the official store carrying Minnesota Wild merchandise. If you don't want to make the trek to St. Paul, come here. There is plenty of parking. I went on a Sunday afternoon at around 1 pm. I found a parking spot within steps from The Cheesecake Factory. It's a cool, clean mall. I have always liked it. I still do. (415)

A perfectly nice, spacious mall. I heard it's the country's oldest (haven't wiki'd that). They have some mini golf for the kids and a caribou coffee!

This is our local mall & we love it, but there have been incidents recently (2020-2023) that need to be resolved. There's a bus stop at Lifetime, which is part of the mall, & the security has said that there's more crime now because of increase of people looking to cause harm or steal or deal drugs. Currently, there are only security officers who have to call the police if there's a crime. There was a random shooting recently, the cops did a good job responding, but they never found the person, so no charges were made. Teenagers like to goto mall, but, unfortunately there have been several incidents of bikes, backpacks, & coats being stolen and drug deals involving kids under 18. Additionally, the layout is odd & random. Some restaurants don't have mall entrance & elevators are few and far between, making it difficult for elderly or disabled. The parking lots are either completely full or empty, and drivers cruise any which way when entering or leaving. Simon needs to hire some capable engineers, managers to bring in local events & activities, police officers & address these problems before the whole mall goes to s*^%!

Shopping here for years. Open light marble skylight atmosphere throughout. Sad the rent got so high the shoe repair outfit that's been there for years is gone but I enjoy their franchise shops Apple, Dry Goods, VS, Aveda, AMC USA nice one & updated & often busy so plan ahead & park nearby on ramp or in lit near theater if it's evening; Brow Art, Minerals, Cheesecake Factory, wish it had a bookstore but there is one up the street, Many other shops & wide open space & pleasing peaceful atmosphere. Never super busy but active consistently weekdays in the mornings is my favorite time to go. Nothing too unique here but 4 stars for atmosphere & quiet & it's nicer/cleaner/brighter than your average mall for sure.

Southdale Center has pretty much everything you'll need in a mall. In addition to a nice foot court south dale has a number of chain restaurants attached to it including Smashburger, Qdoba, P.F. Chang's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Cheese Cake Factory, Rojo Mexican Grill also the AMC Movie Theater. And they are adding on a Life Time Fitness center!!

Not allowing nurses to park in your empty lot for a historic 3 day strike is distasteful and sad. If you won't support nurses then we won't support you!

I was also at the mall yesterday and meet the same person as Ron S. She was doing her job and probably was still frustrated by her encounter with me and my walking partner! Rather than rail at her, my frustration is that the Mall has not made clear anywhere on their site that they are not open early for walkers. And there are many postings, pre-COVID, that would lead you to believe otherwise. We came in the entrance by the restaurants, unaware they were open early only for an early Apple launch. We were fine walking until we were checking for a P.O. box outside. We encountered the same woman at the Government Center entrance and a more formal guard at the South entrance, both before 10:30. Both were adamant there was no walking until 11, contrary to anything else I had found on line.

Just the worst? Has no tie to the community in which they are located. I would never go to this mall!

Great shopping mall. Southdale has the stores you need without all the crowds like at MOA. The recent remodel has given the old space a fresh look. A nice place to stop to spend some time or get some new clothes.

It's even "burbier" than it was before. Today was the first time in over a decade that I went past the AMC cinema to venture into the mall. We were waiting in line for a screening, so I decided to order Subway for dinner. It's not where it was before, and it took more time than it should to find it. There's a Herberger's where other stores leading into the food court used to be. I've no reason to venture past the cinemas again, so I won't be. This place still has no personality and is the poster child for what's wrong in this country in too many ways to list. Ick, yuck, blech.

I'm not sure what the point of an appointment with Santa is? 7-730 implies we'll be in with the Big Man at 7 and leave ourselves sometime to pick out pictures, chat with him, etc. Alas, here I wait while my family went for a walk. Although the fast pass did bypass a much longer wait, I'm a little bummed at the misleading name "appointment." Should have been clarified better. I don't regret the purchase at all, just wish it would have been clearer.

I may only get to Southdale every few years and it seems different each time. I do believe it was more grand and interesting about three remakes before. On this last visit during a weekday afternoon it was exceptionally slow. I checked the location directory for a store and eventually figured out the signage system which seems more confusing than helpful. The mall was big stuff in the mid 1950s but now it's just another cookie cutter with a weird shape and no really unique stores or merchandise to make me return.

I'll rate this 3.5 stars, but I'll round up to 4 since the average right now is 3. I love shopping and this is a nice place to shop. It has many of my favorite shops including GAP, Banana Republic, and Express. I went on a Tuesday afternoon, and it wasn't very busy. I guess that's the case for many malls in Minnesota. Many of the malls I go to in California are much busier than the ones here. Not complaining though cause I'd rather shop in a slow store than fighting over people and getting into each others way. The GAP store is pretty big, but there weren't a lot of sale items when I went. Nice store layout though. Express was nicely organized, workers were very helpful and attentive. Fitting rooms were nicely kept together. I also stopped by a tailoring store on the 2nd store, which was pretty good. It's ran by these nice asian ladies. I wanted to get my pants patched up and they charged my $5 + tax and took less than 30 minutes. Pretty cheap and fast service. They also have an Apple store, which is great for bringing in your mac to checkup and Sperry, which many malls don't have. Southdale Center is also located right next to the galleria, which is more high-end, but it's nice there's two shopping centers right next to each other. Overall, it's a nice little mall to go to. I'd recommend it, there's an AMC there to catch a flick too. There is a little bit of construction though going on and stores moving in and out. Check it out!

Just don't go. Mall of America or Ridgedale are much better. Don't waste your time here, there are NO STORES ABSOLUTELY NO STORES. For resturants they have The Cheesecake Factory which is ALWAYS busy, Buffalo Wild Wings, and PF Changs. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE

What to say about a shopping center that never seems busy enough to keep the employees awake? Seriously, in most stores in this mall, the general vibe is somewhere between lethargy and comatose. It could be the stench of yet another Abercrombie & Fitch....it could be the glassy-eyed teens with too many gadgets and not enough true friends.....it might just be the way the Ben & Jerry's stand seems so out of place, like it was on its way to Valley Fair and got lost....but, I just don't get the big whoopee of Southdale Center for shopping. HOWEVER, when we need to feed a Cheesecake Factory frenzy or when my Ulta shopping tote needs a good refill of lotions and potions, this is the place to come stuff my face and look years younger while doing it :[]

I'm a fan for the day. I rarely travel out this way, but it had the stores I wanted to visit. I really like the open feel of Southdale and it's not overly cluttered with all the kiosks that every other mall has. They have a lot of decent stores and alright anchor stores. Quite a few typical west suburb chain restaurants. The only bad experience I've ever had was almost getting mowed down by a self important, selfish overly entitled mom with one of those ginormous strollers forcing her way through the J. Crew entrance expecting everyone to move because she had a child which she pointed out. What a jerk. Did notice quite a few empty storefronts, but as far as malls go, this one is alright and has seems to have decent choices.

I want the Southdale to update and renovate to bring more people like MOA. But they keep getting rid of things that are good for the mall and the people. Keep putting pressure on the stores to perform, but provide zero marketing to UMN campuses, and so people don't know about it.

I remember this place used to be poppin but now its meh! Back in my days in High School everyone from Bloomington Kennedy High would come up here to catch a movie or fool around in the arcade or just hang around at the bus stop aint nothing else to do! this used to be the kick it spot to meet up with ppl not intill southdale did a policy you cant walk with a group of 4 and more like a ball that's when it was going south for us But hey they remodeled it don't look ghetto anymore its quiet but to be honest I don't like this mall its to much open space now and to uptight I come here for the movies im in and out or for cheese cake factory other than that I don't F with place anymore its a mall! oh and I saw the other day that david busters is opening in here that would be interesting see how that goes

Burbier than ever! Good go to spot when your not in the mood for mall of america. They have nice selection of restaurants and most of the stores you'd find at bigger mall. It's very open and easy to navigate and a new food court. Nice that security drives around parking lot so you can be assured your car is safe to. Plus under ramp parking for rainy and snowy days.

AMC MOVIE THEATER NEVER TO RETURN. sold out of popcorn 3 times. Bathroom are disgusting. Prices are way to much

Dave and Busyers and Cheesecake Factory rocks in a late nite adventure in town from Illinois

Nice and quiet place; pretty cool place to relax and shop. I never been here before but seems like really nice laid-back and chilled spot for a Sunday afternoon.

Hadn't been to Southdale since Covid started and would go there quite a bit to mall-walk and then sometimes shop. Well the other day I decided for the first time in a while to mall-walk and check things out and as usual I went into the east entrance down below where the Hennepin County Service Center is. It was about 10:45 a.m. and apparently the stores don't open until 11:00. There were several other people arriving at the same time and we were met by a young woman who I assume was there to give directions, etc. Unfortunately she was rude to the folks trying to get in and informed me that there was no mall-walking...period...and then told some other folks that to get to the Apple Store they actually had to go to another entrance which seemed very odd to me. Overall I found it amazing that for businesses that are desperately in need of attracting back customers that Southdale would turn out to be so unwelcoming. Needless to say you're not going to find me going there anytime soon and I'm sure the Eden Prairie Mall will be more than happy with my business.

This was THE place to hang out in 7th grade, no joke. Our moms used to drop us off and we'd somehow find enough to do in the few hours that we were there. 1991, I do not miss you. Most of the time Southdale is completely empty (except for the restaraunts and movie theater area) and there are no stores here that are worth going to. I actually will drive out to the Mall of America or Ridgedale to go shopping and I live 5 minutes from Southdale. There are parts of the mall (I'm looking at YOU corner entrance by JCPenney) that I feel less safe walking through than I would a dark alley. Sketchy and just plain pointless. Sorry, Southdale.

Everyone's hatin' on Southdale.... I guess since I am from Alabama, my standards are lower... so you have the hip/expensive shops next door (the container store, west elm etc.) a Target, a Bruegger's, National camera... etc. The mall has a theater, big restaurants and the thing that saves Southdale for me: an Apple store chock a block with hottie/nerdy employees. (sign me up!) I can get in, get what I need and motor back out--what more do you want from a mall? I am too old to go for the social scene... except flirting with the Mac-sters (talk nerdy to me!)

Oh Southdale...you've really let yourself go. I remember way back in the day when you were actually one of the cool "Dales" to hang out at. Now you're just a shell of your former self and really just a place that I go to watch movies or occasionally eat. Maybe it's just that you're being outshined by the hipper Galleria across the street but you are in dire need of a complete overhaul. Most of the remaining stores in the mall are just scattered around the place surrounded by sad empty store fronts. I know that they've finally finished remodeling the old Express guys' store but it can get confusing when you move around a store to three different locations in the less than five months. Someone also needs to figure out what to do with the third floor shopping area which just feels weird and out of place...and reeks of Subway bread. I'd really hate to see this place suffer the same fate as Brookdale but the owners really need to hit the refresh button on this property. Maybe Herberger's opening in the old Mervyn's part of the mall will be the kick in the butt this place needs to reclaim its former glory.

I'm surprised at all the bad reviews for Southdale. I love this place. I, too hate crowded malls. Even when I lived in Bloomington, I only went to MOA maybe once a year. This place has just about everything I'm looking for - clothing stores, book store, movie theatre, and of course, the Apple store. I do think that Southdale has lost some good stores - I miss Waldenbooks - and the food court area is looking pretty pathetic, but the food courts are suffering because of all the restaurants. The mall itself is usually clean and bright. I often see security guards walking around. I feel much safer after dark at Southdale than around the MOA parking ramps. Interesting tidbit: a guy by the name of Victor Gruen designed Southdale and Southdale was the first enclosed mall in the country. This is the layout that many modern malls are based upon. Hmph. Yelp won't let me post html in the review, but there's an article here: http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blshopping.htm.

This is only a review of women's restrooms in the mall, the ones close to the theaters. And I'm writing to complain about the solitary tampon dispenser in the ladies room that was not working! This is a serious lapse in my opinion, on a frigid wintry day, when I made a stop right before going on to watch AVATAR. And the restrooms in the theaters? They don't have any dispensers at all.

I am not a mall person. The slow paced, burn money for hours, people bumping into me left and right bullsh*t... You cannot pay me to go to MOA. The idea of trying to navigate that place around Christmas gives me the heebie-jeebies. That's why I love Southdale! I can go in on almost any day and it feels empty. Got the MAC counter in Macy's, the mac store, some cheap clothing stores, etc. And $5 movies? Sign me up. Get gore in the lot, sneak in some snackies and I'm good to go. Never change Southdale. You are totally mediocre just the way you are, and I love you for it.

Hey, it's Southdale. It's not my favorite place to be in the world, but I do like coming here. In fact, I've liked coming here since I was a kid. There's something about coming to a place where it still looks the same-minus the new food court. JCP always has good deals going on, and I still like going to the Lakeshore Grille (aka Boundary Waters).

Southdale is the first mall ever opened I bet very few people actually know that! The place has gone through quite a bit I Would say changing out their main headliner stores throughout the years right at the moment they have Herbergers, Macys, JCP, a few restaurants to pick from. I like the recent remodel of more upscale stores coming through that you can't find as many locations in Minnesota without having to go through the crowds of people like Mall of America would have. Its also nice because you can find a better selection of goods too without the crowds. The movie theater is a plus esp after a good shopping trip. My favorite stores that you can find in the mall include Madewell, H&M, Sperry Top-Sider, Dry goods etc They also just redid their food court so its not just the lonely subway anymore.

The reason I give it four is cause their iPhone fix places are good there ok not the best but u know but um yes from the corner of My eye I saw this guy getting his phone fixed and when I saw that I realized that the guy was holding a cracked phone after it had just been repaired Like what kind of person repairs it like that

I've been spending a lot of time at Southdale lately. In fact, my wallet is probably cringing at the thought of Southdale right now. Anyhow, before this past week it had been quite a while since I had been to Southdale...and it was a huge surprise to see the new re-vamp! Southdale was getting really outdated and was in serious need of a facelift, anyone could see that. But the team that did Southdale's remodel went above and beyond, it is absolutely beautiful. The store fronts are renewed, everything looks modern, shiny, and attractive. The new food court is awesome (there is a Panda Express, no lie) and it makes for SUCH an improved shopping experience. There are even some new stores and some stores moving around and re-doing layouts. I am so pleased with the improved atmosphere. Southdale is in such a great location; not as far as Mall of America. It also has a lot of great stores so I can avoid MOA on the weekends when it's more of a pain than anything else.

People really seem to hate Southdale, but it is my go-to place. The only other mall I go to is Ridgedale. I HATE Mall of America and Knollwood is useless. At Southdale I can go to a movie, get my clothes altered, get new clothes, pick up a cheap bite to eat, pick up a more expensive meal and hit up the Marshall's. That's really all I care about. - AMC - Marshall's - California Pizza Kitchen - Maggiano's - Sew What - Express - Bath & Body Works - Ulta

Southdale makes me throw up in my mouth a little everytime I drive by. This might be my uncontrollable hatred of The Cheesecake Factory; why does your menu need to read like the phonebook? I might hate Southdale because it always feels so sad. Like a Post-Menopausal lady in Juicy Couture sweatpants. It retains two stars because of three things: 1. AMC 2. Ulta 3. The Oriental Chicken salad in the Macy's cafe.

The nations 1st indoor shopping mall that seems to go through boom/bust/reinvention cycles. Currently coming out of one of the bust times. Place can seem a litle quiet and lonely but judging from the signs, they've got some big plans for upgrades. The new Herbergers is a good first step.

What's going on here? This place gets crappier by the week. Stores seem to be almost fleeing here (many moving across to the Galleria if they can afford the rent). Max M has it right by saying pockets of this place almost feel sketchy...and in Edina of all places! The only reason I gave this an extra star it that Southdale is home to Len Druskin Outlet, one of my favorite places to shop in the city. Until they abandon ship, I guess I'll be frequenting.

Clean and new. The selections of stores available here leave a lot to be desired. Overall, a solid place for your bare essentials (it's not a plug, but they do have one of those in this mall!).

The same old (emphasis on old) Southdale we know and love is undergoing an extensive renovation. The process is still very ongoing, but there are some promising signs of life. Some new stores are placed and have banners saying what they will be and when they will open and new tile and wood paneling are installed in parts of the main courtyard area. The first impression I get is that the look will be similar in style to the re-do of Eden Prairie Center, which I think bodes well. Having Herberger's as a new anchor store has also helped bring the whole mall up. There is still no food court option at this point, but that's supposed to be part of the renovation. Elsewhere it looks like they have lost a few dining options, but maybe they are just shuffling around or will be replaced with something new as the renovation continues. Overall, promising signs of life in this dried out husk of a mall. Let's hope it'll lead to no more drug dealing in the basement bathroom or gang stabbings in the parking lot! (Yes, this did happen, and sadly rather often, during the bad years. Check the Edina Sun Current.) Here's hoping that there are some decent new stores that fit the area and will bring back normal traffic.

This is a very busy mall. What I really like is that I can get on a waiting list in the area for dinner and then go to the mall and spend money and come back. I just wish there were more stores like there where years ago.

A mall is a mall is a mall and as long as it's not the behemoth of a mall in Bloomington, I'm in. Southdale has a decent selection of stores and is large and fairly empty anytime I have visited. It doesn't have the combination of stores I would like but on the upside, I have never walked in and been surprised by a cheerleading competition, teenage genre movie premier or scrapbooking convention.

I love to come here shopping when I'm in Minnesota... Its just one of those great old school feel good malls.. Real quiet.. Never seems busy.. Plenty of parking! I honestly only come here for pne store... called LEN DRUSKIN... I love it! They have a regular store, sale store, and clearance store.. YES - 3 different stores! Great trendy men and women's clothing. They are not online and only exist in the Midwest.

I guess this area isn't too bad if you are 40+ and want to spend the day shopping for items to fill up or clutter up your house! All you will see is snobby older women, or women driving their vans full of kids to the mall. It sucks! My parents came and visited a couple weeks ago. They used to live in Edina and Southdale used to be the Shit (as my Father would say). It was interesting to get there take on the whole shit hole nowadays! Boy have things changed.
