Someone who knows how to manage an indoor mall needs to step in and take over our mall. What happened to it all? All the stores moved out, no place to eat a snack at, basicsally nothing to do.

I remember having a slew of places to shop at. Paul Harris, County Seat, Just Jeans, Foxmoors, etc. The places to eat such as Hot sam, Orange Julius, Mc Donalds, Trolley Stop, Walgreens.

I remember the Library being in the mall. then the Giant game room. Now our game room consists of maybe 20 games that are outdated or just dont work. No one to man these games either.

The three actual stores that seem to be keep the mall afloat are carsons, penneys, and sears.

It has turned into a community center it seems. There is the Swanson Center, the "mall walkers", we have the laporte county visitor center in there.

I remember this mall be a happening place to be. It was the place to shop, to meet with friends and just have fun. Now it is a ghost town in there.

Someone needs to go in there and start bringing in the stores and fill that place up. Otherwise tear it down and use the property for something more useful.
