The merchandise mix is pretty much the same as it always was, with some stores selling menswear in addition. Kind of like a country version of Forever 21.<BR/><BR/>I occasionally go in their stores, but I don't recall ever buying anything there. Not really my scene anymore.Livemallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567198484359363455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494243.post-1154028417247398062006-07-27T14:26:00.000-05:002006-07-27T14:26:00.000-05:00I didn't know Maurice's existed anymore either (fo...I didn't know Maurice's existed anymore either (followed "brown and white" link in your entry). Do people still shop there? Do they still make clothing? I used to be a Maurice's fashion slave back in the 6th grade when the Park Plaza Mall had exactly three clothing stores from which to choose: Maurice's, Vanity, and Id. <BR/><BR/>Ah, nostalgia....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494243.post-1153954124737632182006-07-26T17:48:00.000-05:002006-07-26T17:48:00.000-05:00Heather: The mall itself is very bland, to be sur...Heather: The mall itself is very bland, to be sure, but the old Penneys is what made me swoon.<BR/><BR/>Todd: It would have been awesome to see the mall under construction through the windows of Meyers-Arnold like you did. McAllister Square, right?<BR/><BR/>This pictures takes me back to Crossroads Mall in Roanoke Virginia, which had a Penneys sign at least twice that size on its mall entrance. The vision is a great memory I'll always have.Livemallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567198484359363455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494243.post-1153927217532987802006-07-26T10:20:00.000-05:002006-07-26T10:20:00.000-05:00It is sweet!

They built our home town mall as a kid after a department store was built (meyers/arnold), so you could look into the covered mall from the glass wall in the store and see the bulldozers and all. It was way cool as a kid.... how does this relate?? There was a big Penney's JUST LIKE THIS down on the other end. BTW- Maurice's is all that with that outside door going on!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494243.post-1153892739121359512006-07-26T00:45:00.000-05:002006-07-26T00:45:00.000-05:00I'm sorry: I look at this and I'm still in some ma...I'm sorry: I look at this and I'm still in some mall in suburban Virginia and/or Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood, Wa. <BR/><BR/>Of course, I haven't left the house since my Harcourt passed away and I was forced to eke out an existence knitting cat-hair sweaters and selling m'squirrel-pot pies..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
