Sears is now a global market

There is a huge Sears building in Minneapolis that closed a while ago and then the city turned it into international shopping on the first floor, and condos and offices and a nursing school on the others.

It has its own website:

It's big!

And ... it's across from a big liquor store! Woo hoo!

It's like a grown up version of "It's a Small World" ride ... LOL

Looks like a neat place.

I'm always glad to see empty building become used again.....Looks like a fun place to visit!

Looks very interesting. I would love to visit it.
Teresa W. Apr 23, 2012, 12:47pm UTC
It is neat that they re-used the building instead of tearing it down and building another one. I don't think enough old buildings get re-used. It looks like an interesting place to visit.

Very nice it reminds me of the cannery in Californis there are all these unique shops showing there stock. What a unique place to shop.

Smart people! There is life beyond Sears...
Ed Da Head Toker Apr 24, 2012, 1:12am UTC
an interesting shop.

Neat, but there is something fishy about the third picture.
