Faded Photo of the Week- 35 years ago a cold day like today would have sent shoppers to the warmth of Midlands Mall. The urban renewal project was an attempt to revitalize downtown and keep more money in Iowa; 77% of southwest Iowa trade was being lost to Omaha. Sears was the first store to open in March, 1976. The considerably larger Mall of the Bluffs opened in 1986 and Midlands Mall lost an anchor store in 1987. Though once touted as being valued at $35 million it was sold in 1988 for $3 million to Dhaliwal Enterprises and sold again in 1994 for $150,000.
