JCPenney mall entrance

Here's a look back towards the Penney's mall entrance, which I am honestly somewhat surprised they actually still use. This part of the mall actually doesn't look too bad (at least in comparison to what we'll see soon....) -- the first storefront next to the JCPenney is occupied by a nail place with most of the rest of the space on that side home to the (rather sad) Kelso Public Library, which was closed at the time of my visit. The other side is home to the large Planet Fitness, hence the blank wall on the left of this picture.
