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:

    There is no death! The stars go down
    To rise upon some other shore,
    And bright in heaven’s jewelled crown
    They shine forevermore.
    John Luckey McCreery (1835–1906)

    Could it not be that just at the moment masculinity has brought us to the brink of nuclear destruction or ecological suicide, women are beginning to rise in response to the Mother’s call to save her planet and create instead the next stage of evolution? Can our revolution mean anything else than the reversion of social and economic control to Her representatives among Womankind, and the resumption of Her worship on the face of the Earth? Do we dare demand less?
    Jane Alpert (b. 1947)

    So long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly rise and make them miserable.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
