You can have your stinking Ridgedale, Rosedale, Brookdale, and all those other shopping palaces that so arbitrarily affix "dale" to their names. The Unidale Mall comes by its moniker honestly: It sits at the corner of St. Paul's University and Dale Avenues. At some 70,000 square feet, Unidale can hardly compete with its glitzy suburban counterparts in volume or variety. But it kicks collective butt on the most important score: lots of good deals and no need for the gold card. At the Disabled American Veterans thrift store, for instance, patrons can find everything from outboard motors (we lusted after a vintage seven-horsepower Scott Atwater, with tank, for just $299) to slightly used underwear (we couldn't resist the Skinny Dick's Halfway Inn panties, with an excellent depiction of copulating polar bears, $1.95). Beyond the DAV, bargain hunters can satisfy their yen for cheap deals at the Unidale's other budget-minded shops: the Super Dollar, Foodsmart, and 7-Mile Beauty Supply. While Unidale itself probably will never win any beauty prizes--what building erected in 1978 would?--the deals are downright lovely.
