when a mall is full of independent shops and few franchises, it's a bad sign. i'm no expert but if the food court is getting the most traffic, that is the area that should be expanded. food courts usually are where people congregate in malls.

I moved to East Mesa in 1989. Lived off of Val vista and southern when it was all new. I worked at the Bashas when I was 16 in 1991. I used to work also at toys r us when it first opened when I was 15. This mall used to be pretty busy and nice. The VF factory outlet was nearby also. So many good memories at that mall. In HS I would spend all weekend at the mall. In HS my friends and I would walk to the mall at 2am on a school nite and steal lots of money from the fountain and go to the circle K and eat snacks. Back in the early to mid 90s. We had no curfew or cameras or smartphones everywhere. I would walk the dry canals all the way to the mall. Lol I went into the Army and got out in 97. I then lived in old town Scottsdale. I used to sneak into the old Scottsdale galleria mall. It was used By the Smithsonian for storage. It was pretty dark Inside and scary. I almost fell down a shaft inside. Anyone here around this time frame remember the new movie theater on val vista and southern? It was a arcade next door also.. Nice video!

@WideGauge
5 жыл бұрын
A "dollar store" typically refers to Family Dollar, or Dollar General - both stores that sell things for far more than a dollar. But I guess you could say they have a penchant for rounding off prices to the nearest dollar - so you pay $3 instead of $2.95, for your egg rolls or hand soap. The 99-cent-only or 5-and-below stores impose a ceiling on prices, I believe, so they're in a separate category. I don't know what they sell, I never visit one ... useless tchotchkes I suppose.
@imnottwelve1126
5 жыл бұрын
Three types of Dollar Stores. Stores like Family Dollar and General Dollar are discount stores where products are not a dollar. Something in those just discount stores might be 20 or 195 dollars. Not remotely a dollar but the business name is now misleading. Some things aren't even discounted. Dollar Tree is an example of a store that has a set price. Everything in the store is exactly a dollar. Making the description of it being a Dollar Store quite literal. Then there are the stores with a name that is a brand name but it sounds like a general description for the type of store. Examples of those stores are It's All One Dollar and 99-Cents-Only store. You can see how specific names can be confused for names for the genre. Some times stores with names that lean towards making you believe everything is a dollar are tricking you. I've been in many Dollar Store name Ma n Pa that had various prices but no labels. Dollar Stores are not limited to the US and Canada. The names vary depending on currency. The UK has Pound Shops. Japan has 99 yen and 100 yen stores.

In metro Detroit, Somerset and Great Lakes Crossing are thriving. Oakland Mall does not seem to be doing as well.

Superstition Springs Center Mall is really nice. You said you grew up going there. How did the elevator at Mervyn's look on the inside? Did it look similar to the one at Arrowhead or was it all brown inside?

The TJ max I’m pretty sure is the same building Borders was in. They opened on here in my local mall Westfield Plaza Bonita in 2008 and has the same features but is now a Crunch Fitness.

So sad, I lived by there and my cousin worked building it. A couple years ago my daughter and granddaughter came out to visit she loved going here as a little girl and we had to wait in line then now her and my granddaughter were the only ones on there and used to there was a worker and that person would watch the kids but no one when we were there. With all the malls closing all that's left is mills mall but my son and daughter remember eating in the food court and going to the 1.00 movie good times.

That mall looks like a local mall not to far away from where I live. The mall is in Gastonia, NC. It's terrible, a lot of empty spaces and everything major is moving out. Now they kept it real clean, but lets face it majority of malls now are dying especially the ones in most suburban areas of the country or small towns that should never got a mall to begin with.

The western light gun game. Was it Mad Dog McCree or Lethal Enforcers II?

It was much bigger than either of those games. It was like a big wild West scene with about a dozen light gun rifles lined up. You could shoot at different things and different things would happen. If you shot a target on the saloon doors they would swing open, or if you shot a target on a stuffed rabbit it would spin around like you actually shot it. It was similar to the one they have at Disneyland.

To be honest, those LED trees glow and flicker in a way reminiscent of something you'd see in an 80s Don Bluth film. I dig it.

Sears at Superstition Springs is no longer. It actually does get kinda busy here.
