In the 1900s, there were 5 ballrooms on West Lake Okoboji: Manhattan Beach, Roof Gardens, The Inn,…read moreThe Casino and The Central Emporium, then known as the Central Pavilion. The Central Emporium is the only one that remains a part of today's Iowa Great Lakes. It was originally built in 1901 and by the 1960s, the building sat empty until it was purchased in 1967 and used as boat storage. In 1971, the building was remodeled and began leasing out space for stores. During that first year, there were only 3-5 businesses including The Diver's Den, the Outrigger and a jewelry store. I started hanging out at the Central Emporium about that time in the early 1970s. It's gone through ownership changes since then and many shops have also come and gone. The Building itself has also been stabilized from falling into the Lake and at during my visit this summer, the old Girl looks pretty good on the inside as well. There's still the expected collection of tourist based shops, but the Central Emporium also includes a couple nice dining and drinking establishments (with great views), a branch of Hill Avenue Books, and even a few shops (e.g., Life on the Lake) that I enjoy. You can also get here by foot or by boat. I could see how a developer would think of this property as a good condo or other resort opportunity. And I do wonder how the Central Emporium makes money within the confines of a summer vacation season. But as long as this historic Iowa building still stands, I'll be there whenever I'm in town.

Always a fun and nostalgic place to visit. I've been coming to Okoboji since the 1980's, and The…read moreEmporium hasn't changed a lot.

At one point in my Estherville youth, I think this place was Anthony's. That's when the meat…read morepacking plant was open, and there was a little more department store and other business action downtown. Thrifty's has two floors with 6000 sq. ft. of retail space and is filled with gently used merchandise at deep discounts. More importantly, proceeds support ECHO PLUS services for Emmet and Dickinson Counties' people with disabilities. This store also provides employment opportunities for these folks. Program participants sort and hang clothing, price items and clean. In addition, people from the community volunteer at Thrifty's to help keep things going. My Son has never met a yard sale that he didn't love. So as we were recently walking around Downtown Estherville, he made a direct path to Thrifty's Door. I looked around a bit, but quickly snuck out and headed for the Library. The Kid hung around a bit longer, made some friends, and later tried to convince me to buy a few things. Well, it is a good cause....

Sara had me roll up my pants legs, take off my street shoes and walk 30 feet and back while she determined the best shoe from observing my ancles and how I walk. She measured my feet for size. She came up with three different brands of shoes. I tried on all three and walked around the store trying each brand. She answered several questions and it's quite obvious she knows the brands well!

I was very pleased with the service here…read more I was greeted right away. I told the employee what kind of boot that I was specifically looking for. The worker showed me a wide variety of boots, and explained how each boot differed from the others. I was able to get my foot properly sized. This store is very clean, and has a huge selection of boots and shoes. Everything ranging from steel toe, to non-metallic toe, and just normal boots. They also carry hiking and hunting boots. In addition, Red Wing makes an athletic shoe with a protective toe! I found a pair of boots that are very comfortable, and will be able to give me the support that I need to be able to be on my feet all day. This was my first visit to this store. I'm happy that I stopped by! If you're ever in the Mankato area, and are in need of some new boots, stop on by! Conveniently located right off of Madison.
