Not having been downtown to shop at this mall for some time, i felt I should make another trip to honestly and fairly review it. I remembered as I entered the parking lot nearby the mall, WHY I hadn't shopped here in some time. The parking fees have raised to a point where you really have to have found a bargain for the shopping to justify the parking OR you have to have found somewhere that validates parking....something that is increasingly hard to do.
The stores are limited in variety and understandingly younger in nature (the mall is close by University of Iowa's downtown campus) so for this middle aged Mother of 2 there really wasn't much there for me. Though some stores had interesting items and I did purchase some earrings, they were in my opinion, overpriced for the quality offered.
Remember, this is only one person's opinion and you in fact might find OLD CAPITOL right up your alley shopping experience wise...if you do, I invite you to review it here...I am always open to other opinions and will revise mine if you can convince me otherwise! Happy shopping!
