Lena, I thought you were from Texas! The very first indoor "mall" (now considered to be more of a strip mall) is the Valley Fair Mall in Appleton, WI. It has theaters, an arcade, small shops and an anchor store. Are we thinking of the same place? If so, are you originally from here?

By the way, the Valley Fair Mall, while a nice small place to shop, is nothing compared to the Mall Of America in Minneapolis. If you ever get a chance, check that place out. My wife and her friends can get lost there for days on end!
