Do you say city limits when you are on the edge of town?  Or some other term?

Dependng upon exactly what you want to say, I'd probably go for "the edge of town"

Outskirts of town

Okay. Do they have strip malls? It's a set of shops all together sharing walls in one long strip but each one has an outdoor entrance and they don't have indoor entrances connecting the shops to each other. Do they have another name?

I know what you mean and we have them, but they aren't really called anything, just to be a pain. Just rows of shops. Perhaps a shopping precinct.

Hello :)

I'd say...
Outskirts
Shopping precinct

Is it sad that everytime I see a post like this from you I dance around in delight knowing that more Zepplins is near?

Might be too late for you, but Retail Park is generally the term for what you call a strip mall.
