it's pronounce "Loo tholds" The Mexican restaurant, Plaza, is FANTASTIC. Amazing ribs. The reason Mercy One from Mason City is coming to town is because Mayo has a monopoly over all the other clinics in southern Minnesota... And I mean ALL the clinics. People wanted options after Mayo moved a lot of services out of Albert Lea to Austin. I know of several people who would drive to Mason City for dr's visits because they're tired of Mayo. So Mercy One coming to town is being very well received.

Thanks for the proper pronunciation. That's my college German class messing with me. Good to also learn about Mercy One. Yeah, I've seen a ton of Mayo clinic during my mall visits.

Back in the 90’s this mall was bustling with hundreds of people shopping at a time. Shopko was a big loss for the mall. Then Herbergers. After that it’s been barely hanging on. Now the mall is up for sale I’ve heard. Oh the good old days…

Harbor Freight and Big Lots! to fill 2 of 3 spaces in the former Shopko store at Northbridge Mall. Currently looking on signing a 3rd national brand store in the coming weeks. I lived in Albert Lea for several years and always enjoyed shopping there. With the new stores, Mercy One clinic and repaving of the parking lot, Northbridge will be a great regional retail center once again. Lots of nice changes coming! Great video!

I just saw read that, too! Thanks for sharing. I was going to release an update video on the mall later this month, but I'm going to wait until after the new changes. If they bring back tenants to the food court, I'll grab a bite to eat some time. (I never seem to get there when the Mexican restaurant is open.)

This mall could be live and actually attract a crowd if it wanted too. Keep kids out of trouble etc, instead we’re just getting new coffee shops, liquor stores, and other useless stuff we don’t need. No food court, just plaza, the theater, pizza ranch. More hardware stores, this mall sucks. Has potential but it sucks. Whole town has been complaining for something here and we get nothing close.

We need a better mall with like a target. A foot locker. A Arby’s. We also need a American eagle. But our mall just gets places ran by old people and it’s just thrift stores and it’s so gross. The only good thing about the mall is the movie theater and that sports place. I think we deserve better because we don’t have any good shops in Albert Lea.
