The one in Midland has a shoe store, not sure what other stores, Best Buy, Olive Garden, IHOP and the big stand alone building on the other end is the library. Now it is at the higher end of the shopping district. I just realized that. The mall is in the middle.
You could make a loop and hit all the big box stores. Half are on one side of the street and the other are on the other side. This includes 2 grocery stores, Sam's Club and Walmart.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was referring to a smaller bookstore that could fit between a Gap and a Lego store.

I miss the days of the smaller bookstores. A mall without a bookstore doesn't feel right to me and to be honest, I would be hard pressed to say that the big Barnes and Noble stores serve me better than the old B. Dalton, Walden Books and Crown Books did.

I will admit, nostalgia may be coloring my memories.
