All that is left is the library, Pretzelmaker, Eddie Bauer, Younkers, JC Penney, Bath & Body Works & city offices that were flooded out of downtown. I don't know if the rent is "too damn high" or what but this a terrible mall. The top floor is almost abandoned, except for mall walkers.

The only thing that kept this mall alive is that the floods came through in 2008, and city and county government had nowhere to go, but to a surprisingly empty, dead mall out on the edge of town. This place is so dead and lame that there is even a website dedicated to tearing it down http://teardownwestdale.com/ Here is a link to the entry for this so called 'shopping mall' on Deadmalls http://deadmalls.com/malls/westdale_mall.html Every time I walk through, I'm one of the few people inside, it's kinda spooky, like something out of a Romero movie. Uuuuuugggghhhh Brrraaaaiiiinnnnnsssss! Sadly, this place is empty, you wont even find zombies. I have no idea why Yonkers and Chick-Fil-A haven't pulled out. I'd imagine the Chicken shop doesn't leave, because it feeds the city employees who don't want to leave on their lunch breaks. Oh, and another thing, the entire area around this mall is going gonzo nuts with business and new stores and restaurants. This mall should be a dream location. Instead it just sits and rots alive, like a hobo chained to the inside of a boxcar at the end of a long forgotten rail siding. Something strange is going on with this place. Makes me wonder what kind of property management company is running it. There is absolutely no reason this mall should be in such an awful state. Once the go-to spot in CR, now it is a shadow of it's former self.

Until about a month ago I never knew this store existed. It's been in Ely for a little while now. I…read morestopped in here with some coworkers on a Friday afternoon. Really to just browse, but I did leave with a few Christmas gifts. Very nice boutique. Well-curated with fun things from clothing and accessories to cute hostess gifts, some home decor and kitchen items. Unique things like the cactus shaped earrings and IPA beer scented soap I picked up. Prices are moderate; not any more or less than you might see at a mall. Recommend if you're in the area!

Very neat little boutique in the heart of Ely which opened in May 2016…read more On a moonlight bike ride from Cedar Rapids we noticed the lights were on in this little shop across the street from the local bar. The gentleman owner was keeping the store open after hours when he saw the large group of bike riders milling about at Odie's. Well, that garnered him at least two sales. Many small stores in small towns such as Ely look the part of someone just trying to follow their dream, with little preparation and know-how, but this shop is different. It is well decorated, with careful thought as to how merchandise should be displayed. It is not a bare bones, quickly thrown together place, ala those that are just open for the Christmas season. You know the type. They have a nice selection of clothes geared to Hawkeye fans, Cyclone fans, and bike riders as well. The clothes for cyclists are not biking clothes, rather normal shirts, etc with a cycling motif. They also had merchandise very suitable for baby showers. We made a return trip two days later to pick up a U of I jacket that my wife liked, and the woman on duty was very nice. All in all, a very nice addition to Ely.

Love this place. I was finally able to visit the Goodwill Outlet Store in CR over the weekend. If…read moreyou're familiar with Cedar Rapids, the Outlet is in part of the former Klein Tools building on the SW side near the airport. Big, clean, open shopping space. Blue 'boats' cover the sales floor and are filled with all kinds of items. Gloves are required in order to dig through the bins. You can bring your own, or buy them at the Outlet for $1.99/each. Wonder why gloves are required? Your safety, of course. A new boat is rolled out every 30minutes (I believe). We had arrived a little after 4pm (closing is at 5pm) on Saturday and the last boat had just been rolled out. Don't assume that the boats are full of stuff the local stores didn't want - that isn't the case. I'm not sure how the boats are originally organized, but by the time the day is over clothing is mixed in with housewares. Books and cds/dvds stayed relatively separate from all other items. There are lots of great things to be found including higher-end shoes like Cole Hahn, Puma, Nike, Adidas, vinyl records, great books, etc. Merchandise is sold by the pound at $1.49/lb. If you have a heavy item and are curious about the cost, there is a self-service scale available for customers to use. Employees can put a pile of your items on their counter scale, or roll your entire cart onto the freight scale. Furniture is priced individually, but I didn't see any on the sales floor when we visited. The person I was with said they had never seen the boats so 'light.' Maybe donations are down right now. I definitely plan to come back in a few weeks, but a few hours earlier. Most customers and all employees were wearing masks, which I really appreciated. If you want to sift through each bin it will take all day. Restrooms available, shopping carts, a nice vending area (because you'll really need a snack 2 hours in). Check-out is similar to Aldi, in that there is a counter where you can bag or box your items before leaving. Employees don't bag. There are bags and boxes available for customers to use, but I'm sure you can bring along your own. Very friendly staff. Parking lot can get cramped when busy, and a small lounge area for sitting would be nice so shoppers could take a break without having to go back out to their cars. We left with a shopping cart full including books for $35. One of the top places in Eastern Iowa to find a good deal. Highly recommend.
