Billed as "Metro Winnipeg's first air-conditioned enclosed shopping centre", Southdale Mall opened back on September 1, 1966.
Its original anchor tenants both failed by the end of the century and the indoor mall potion was swallowed up by an additional retail outlet. Still, Southdale Centre as it is now called, survives to this day despite many similar regional malls being knocked down in favour of "power centres".
The history of Southdale Mall is my latest Winnipeg Places blog post.
