Odessa mall adventure

Tommy was off for Veteran's Day today so we ventured into Odessa to check out the mall over there. Midland and Odessa are about 10 minutes apart, so they're not exactly the same town, but they are close enough to justify a trip to either one when necessary. I was pretty disappointed with the mall in Odessa (its actually worse than the mall in Midland) EXCEPT that they have an Express over there. It makes no sense that there is an Express in the Odessa mall and not to the Midland mall, and the only thing I can assume is that the Express franchise granters did not do their homework before assigning it to that mall. That being said, it was the busiest store in the mall, so what do I know? I'm still disappointed I have to drive 15 minutes to get to an Express and that the nearest New York & Co. is in Lubbock...two hours away!! :(
