Mall of America

We went to the Mall of America today, had been several years since we had been there.  There were a lot of changes - new stores, new floors, remodeling, etc.  There were not many people when we arrived around 10 AM but many more when we left about 1 PM.

As we were walking into the mall I wondered how the mall security was in light of the Kenya Mall takeover.  First thing I saw was a camera looking at the entrance.  We saw a lot of security people and dogs.  One business told Don that drills were being carried out 2-3 nights a week with fully suited SWAT teams, police, helicopters, etc.  Used to be once a month.

I made one purchase, a shirt at Sears.  It was $40 marked down to 9.99, when I paid it had been marked down further to 7.99 and I somehow had a 1.25 credit - what a deal!

We ate lunch at the Rainforest Cafe, always an event.  They have good food at about double the price one would pay elsewhere.  Guess you pay for the ambiance.
