I remember this mall and so many others in Colorado that went the way over the years. So sad 😞. RIP Buckingham Square, Northglenn/Southglenn Malls, Cinderella City, Villa Italia, Westland, Lakeside, Bear Valley, University Hills, Cherry Creek (the original pre 1990’s) and any others I may have missed.

My mom was an employee at the Pet City in here for years all the way up until they closed the doors. I spent a lot of my early pre-teen years until it closed down hanging out here and I got to know a lot of great People who I unfortunately havent talked to since but at the end of the day its like they say "dont be sad its gone be glad it happened" Much Love to you all ❤

Man, this mall was a huge part of my childhood and teenage years in the 80s and 90s. I remember buying computer games at 'Software Etc...' right where Rave Girl is in this video, and getting mad at some older teenager talking shit about some video game music on a demo they had there. I remember seeing my first Magic eye posters presented at the front of many stores when they were trendy. I remember going in to some movie in shorts and a t-shirt and coming out in a blizzard. I remember a cookie store right next to the 'Software Etc...' by the food court that made cookies as big as a pizza, and you would buy slices of cookie. I remember learning to pronounce gyro from the Renzios in the food court since the sign said on the bottom 'Pronounced YEE ROW'. I remember my brother's girlfriend working at the Wicks and Sticks there. I remember buying old D&D books at 'It's Your Move'. I remember seeing my first magic show at the balloons. This place was a big part of my childhood. It's sad to see it gone, but it's nice to see that someone took pictures of it before it was torn down, so thanks!

Doesn't seem that long ago that we had to sit through 35 minutes of traffic just to get into the parking lot during the Christmas shopping season. It died in a flash once online shopping and new outside malls popped up.

Then during Christmas the huge Christmas tree and the balloons that floated up. It's so sad to me watching malls die in America. I hope flatiron keeps doing well but who knows.

I've lived in this state most of my life. It's bitter-sweet, the memory of all these now long gone places. One of the last of the era, the Greeley Mall, is teetering on the edge. It's SO empty now, supported only by the only (mainstream) movie theater left in the city (Where once there were three), and a Habitat for Humanity store. It would not shock anyone if they closed the doors any day now and just left the theater and HfH store standing, turning the rest into a big empty lot...

THE WESTMINSTER MALL SONG. (Sung to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon"). Westminster Mall was once the place for gen X'ers to go. With stores like Spencer's and Garts and Joslins, and many others to know! With four wings, each with an anchor store, and in the middle, a center court. That had a fountain and four balloons that went up and down on cords. Friday nights at Westminster Mall, the fun did never fall. A food court and a theater multi plex, going there we felt so tall! But as time passed by, the golden age of that happy mall began to fade. Stores moved out, and the dazzling lights yielded to encroaching shade. The mall at where many we X'ers met was in it's life's sunset. And then came the day it closed it's doors, our shopping mall was no more. And soon came the bulldozers, and on that fatefully day, the walls of the mall came falling down, and the breeze blew the dust away. While Westminster Mall is no longer around, we X'ers remember the sounds. We remember the sights of glimmering lights, and of balloons that went up and down. For us Gen X'ers, Westminster Mall growing up, it held a part. And though it's gone, it will live forever with the 80's deep in our hearts!

Anybody remember back in the early to mid 90s, a REALLY tall guy who worked at the Red Baron arcade next to that pizza place? That guy's name was Troy Kramer. He unfortunately passed away just a few years ago at the age of 40. I have a video on my profile (may have to repost it) of me laying some of his ashes at the Red Rocks Amphitheater.....it would not have been possible had it not been for a generous lady named Jess :)

Practically lived at the arcade, who remembers the outside theater. Wasn’t it called the Westminster 5, technically it was the Westminster 11. 6 theaters inside mall, 5 outside on the west side parking lot. Kinda weird when you think about it. Waaaay back when I was young we lived just to the north in Madison Hill at the time. I would walk there and steal change from the fountain and buy candy on the second floor of Sears. They also used to have a sugar candy store, sugar from the sugar water would attach itself to a string and they would color it at sell it. Good ol days
