Stop through on my way to South Bend to take a quick walk before driving another hour down the road to my hotel. The mall technically closes over an hour after my visit, but most stores close 1-2 hours before the mall does. The property itself is in good physical condition, but the loss of Sears and Bergner’s has really hurt foot traffic from the looks of it.

The only reason I gave Zales one star is because their is no other option. Do not waste your time. Their repair shop does not pay attention to detail. Twice my ring came back messed up. It also shows that the staff as well doesn't pay attention to detail. when their jewelry comes back from the shop I would think it should be inspected? Awfully aggravating especially when it's an hour away. I've already lost the same stone and they messed up the white gold and the yellow gold.

Home of the World's Saddest Food Court! About half the mall appears to be empty storefronts while the remaining shops are just empty. Mall mainstays like Hot Topic and sneaker spots still attract teens and local shops like Killen's still have foot traffic, but the rest of the mall feels abandoned and forgotten. The days of a one stop mall featuring a bookstore or two, stand alone toy shops, electronics, and a movie theater are over. You can see employees trying their best to keep things clean and orderly, but this mall, much like this town, is dying if it isn't already dead and just hasn't figured it out yet.
