It's sad to see how far this mall has declined. But that's a sign of the times. I still like to go…read morethere to walk around, especially in the winter. And I do go into the few stores that are still in the mall. I just hope that Mason City doesn't sink a ton of money into yet another reincarnation of downtown which may or may not be in trouble in another 30 years.

Southbridge is a mall that has certainly seen better days and is in need of a face lift. Roughly…read more60% of the shops are closed, though those that remain cover most of the necessities. Younkers is the remaining anchor store. A Victoria's secret, Buckle, Claire's, GNC, a bookstore and a handful of other places. Birdsall's ice cream and a pretzel store provide a couple options for nourishment and a Chinese place and Subway comprise the food court. We came over on a weekend where a car/motorcycle show was going on and it made the experience a little more palatable, but overall, the mall has definitely seen better days. Not a terrible place to kill an hour running around, but a tough spot to find much more than the basics.

What a cute store! I like this addition to downtown. So many unique items. They have pillows,…read morethrows, lamps, candles, baby clothes, scarves, doggie collars, and other home decor. I especially liked the china set with sassy sayings and the hilarious greeting cards. Prices are a bit steep, as you would expect in a boutique shop. But it's a good place for gifts.

What a great stop for "junkin" , as my friend says. This is…read morea cute little store that was open the weekend we were in town. There a little bit of everything here. Lots of vintage items for great prices! Lots dishware and multiple very cool old coffee peculators. We also thought it was very cool that it used to be a Chinese restaurant and some of the décor was still there. Lots of old music items, records, movie stuff, even nice furniture. I love some of the unique art. I wish I had more room in my house for all the cool stuff that we found.

You could spend an hour in here just looking at all the stuff. Be sure to look at the frames…read morepictures.

I was visiting family in Clear Lake and decided to walk the downtown on my last day in town. This…read morestore is really cute from the outside and there were some racks of clothing outside so I stopped to look. They were sale racks and I found a few items I liked but I knew that I didn't have a lot of room in my suitcase since I was flying home to Seattle. I found a cute pair of jeans that were marked $29($59 regularly)on sale and a tank top marked $25($39 regularly) on sale. I saw a few other items that I would have loved if I had more room to pack. I went into the store to look around and yes they have some cute items but they are really overpriced. After looking around I went up to pay. There were 3 women at the counter and one said to me "you know there a lot of really nice things in the store." I told her that I didn't have much room to pack since I was from out of state. The women looked at each other and kind of spoke to themselves that people should not be able to buy items from the sale rack if they don't buy something in the store. It was really strange and very rude. They rang up my two items and didn't even look at me but were rolling their eyes at each other. Both items ended up being on sale for $10 so they only made $20 off me and in reality that is all I would pay at this place. Maybe if the service was better people would spend more. I thought about going back and buying more items off the sale rack just to piss them off. Seriously rude, rude, rude.
