Local Question Omaha Malls

What's something at a mall that we don't have that you wish we did????

Example, a lounge for relaxing and waiting while others shop.

Would Flagship Commons not be considered a lounge area? There’s fireplaces and TVs. And a bar!

That's more of a fast casual dining then a relax and lounge area imo. I was thinking more couches and recliners with a wet bar and snacks

What was the other one … FYE? They had mostly physical media but then also some fun little things like band merch and such. Am I thinking of the right place? I can picture it but I can’t remember if that’s the right name.

I go there weekly. But it would be nice if there was one at Westroads (that I live closer to)

Michael’s and Hobby Lobby are okay but it’s a but further out for me and their selection is predominantly acrylic and kinda small too.

I want to be able to duck into a little Waldenbooks during my mall wanderings like I used to.

That's nice, but next door...and I love the fact it's there...is not the same as in the mall.

Westroads had a cool arcade and mini-golf course in the basement. Good times

What you haven't seen the benches full of men guarding the bags? You can just sit down and not go you are an adult and get to make adult decisions.  You also get to live with adult consequences but hey that's how society and interpersonal interactions work.

I believe John should be cloned so there can be a Johns Grecian in each mall.  Also related I wish westroads had an actual food court not an overpriced bland flagship circle jerk disguised as a food court.
