Columbus Square Mall - Rise

Rise

Columbus Square Mall opened in 1965. The style of the mall was typical for that time period, a single-level with anchor stores on each end of the primary corridor. The two original anchors were Sears Roebuck and J. C. Penney. One interesting fact was that the Sears store was independently owned by the Sears, Roebuck and Company. The store was simply attached to the separately-owned mall. In the late 1970s, Columbus Square expanded, adding an additional wing which extended from the rear of the main corridor and terminated with a third anchor, local department store Kirven's, which continued to operate a large downtown store for many years after opening the Columbus Square location. Another famous local store at Columbus Square was Kiralfy's, a women's clothing store.

Famous quotes containing the word rise:

    “Death,
    I need my little addiction to you.
    I need that tiny voice who,
    even as I rise from the sea,
    all woman, all there,
    says kill me, kill me.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Man will rise, if God by exception lends him a hand; he will rise by abandoning and renouncing his own means, and letting himself be raised and uplifted by purely celestial means.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Who rise from flesh to spirit know the fall:
    The word outleaps the world, and light is all.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
