We need real entertainment---like live music options or maybe a REAL concert once and awhile?  If you want any real music options you are driving to the cities, rochester or mankato.

CC- “real entertainment” is real subjective, as one persons music is another persons noise.  Besides, you are not going to get a bunch of Albert Lea local-yokels to shell out the kind of money it would take to get a national performer here.  Where would they play, the fairgrounds?  The arena?  The armory?  Just drive to Owatonna and the Jungle has plenty of live music, and if you wish A.L. had that kind of night life then by all means jump through the hoops the city and county have laid out and open yourself up a nice little entertainment hotspot.

Some decent shopping---home depot and wallyworld are a small start but face it albert lea shopping stinks

And again, “decent shopping” is subjective as well.  Anything I want is a click away via the web, and there are already many businesses here that offer items people look for.  Let’s face it, Albert Lea does not have the numbers to support business chains like Best Buy, Circuit City, Red Lobster, etc. and placing these businesses in Albert Lea would be akin to placing a Toys-R-Us store in Myrtle, and it just is not going to happen, especially with the rise on online shopping.

A movie theater with big screens and stadium seating

As for the extravagant movie theater, sure all the extras would be nice but how much do you think people will be willing to pay to go there?  Are you willing to pay $10 to $15 a show just for stadium seating and larger screens?  There have been times I have went to a showing and there were maybe a dozen people in the place, so do you think all the extras will bring the masses?

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could  shop at  bestbuy or hot topic, eat supper at red lobster or olive garden, go to a cool concert or movie on a BIG screen with stadium seats then go out for a couple drinks after the show?

You can, as everything you have described is relatively within an hours drive.  The only way you are going to see businesses like you described here is if you can grow the population 5x, and we have yet to get employers here to support the current population.  

Let's face it, Albert Lea is not going to grow into some metropolis, so if your desire is to live in a larger town you will have to move to one.

yes fresno it is me.  Glad to see some of my many fans around this forum.  I have not been around much, been busy taking the high road with my hand on the plow.  
I would rather be called Sheriff but re-run is OK too.
