music city mall

Picture this: families flocking to local shops, ready to snag the best deals as tax-free weekend approaches. It’s a true Midland-Odessa tradition.

The skating rink at Odessa's Music City Mall, once an iconic ice rink, has become a beloved destination since its transformation in 2021. This community favorite continues to bring joy and cherished memories to locals, proving that change can lead to something amazing.

Who remembers...growing up going with your parents or grandparents to eat at Furr's in the Odessa mall? I sure do! And I would continue to go up until last year when they closed their doors for good after what we thought was temporarily shutting down in 2020 due to the pandemic. So myself along with many Odessans wondered what would take its place? And now we have our answer...

Be real. As a parent, anytime you go to the mall, you do what you can to distract the kids from the candy store or the popcorn place, or even the Dippin' Dots, geez the struggle is real. That was me the other day at the Odessa mall as I was strolling for the after Christmas sales. But it didn't work. My child found the 'hot, new thing,' a cool new place that we just had to step into.
