I don't shop much in Anchorage, but have always had a soft spot for the Carrs-Sears Mall.  Partially due to memories as a youngster visiting Annabelle with my grandmother, who helped knit booties for Annabelle as well.

I've always wanted to see the mall attract larger retailers so that it would become a "One Stop Shop Mall".  As a male, I detest all forms of shopping.  Not sure if it's a male DNA thing or what.
It's too bad Sears hasn't done better here in AK.  I use to spend quite a bit of money at Sears during the holidays and wish I knew what happened with AK chains.  Our Valley location has downsized as well and wonder how much longer it will last.

  I want to enter one end of the mall and circle back.  I won't bother to exit the mall to walk around to Nordstrom Rack.  They should be part of the mall in my opinion, not just hanging around.  Hopefully  Nordstrom Rack will listen to it's customers as well as the other merchants.
