The Drug Store (TDS)
Midtown mall, located across the street from the Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Hospital, has a very active mall walking community. Many local healthcare professionals recommend the mall for a safe and convenient way for the public to maintain an active lifestyle. There is a storage area located near Maple Creek Restaurant – walkers are welcome to store their coats and boots while they lap the mall. Be sure to stop into The Drug Store to check your blood pressure monitor. Mall vendors offer senior discounts, so be sure to check in with your favorite shop or restaurant to see when their specials run.
“The length of the main Mall Hallway is 1000 feet. There are 5280 feet in a mile; therefore, five times around the main hallway is approximately one mile. To vary your walk we encourage you to continue from the main hallway into Super One Foods. Walking around the grocery stores’ wall (not down aisles) will add 700 feet. With this addition, approximately three times around the hallway system is one mile.”
