Mark Twain Village has occupied this space off Fifth Street for more than a half century. However, it's transformed considerably from a smallish indoor/outdoor mall into a several scattered shopping areas.
Aldi anchors one section, Duluth Trading Co. another. Bass Pro stands by itself and stand-alone businesses are spread along the edges.
The parking lot is nightmarish. One bottleneck occurs at busy Aldi directly inside the Fifth Street entrance. Columns hide pedestrians until they step into the traffic lane, making for sudden stops by unaware drivers. The other bottleneck is at Bass Pro due to shoppers crossing the driving lane.
A better entrance is the Fairgrounds Road entry, or from Boone's Lick Drive.
