The Mall at The Source, Westbury, NY

One thing real quick who EVER thought this mall would be as or nearly successful as Roosevelt Field? I hope I am not the only one that thinks this. The Mall at The Source is an infamous abandoned mall on Long Island on Old Country Road which is the same street as Roosevelt Field. The mall was basically abandoned except for a few sections like all of the lower level but the upper level was closed off The Cheesecake Factory to Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH. So I only could get into the Center Court, Saks OFF 5TH and Fortunoff Courts from downstairs and Fortunoff’s hallway to The Cheesecake Factory. The Mall at The Source is the former site of the Roosevelt Airport and the airport closed in 1961. In the 1960’s Ohrbach’s constructed a store on the property. In 1964 Fortunoff opened a store on the sode of the mall where Cheesecake Factory is today. In tge late 1980’s Alan Fortunoff planned to build Long Island Galleria which I actually like that name unlike The Mall at The Source but ...

Holyoke Mall at Ingleside, Holyoke, MA

So last summer I visited Philadelphia to go to the King of Prussia Mall and on the way down I visited some malls. Holyoke Mall is one of those malls. Holyoke Mall began life 40 years ago in 1979 serving the Springfield, Massachusetts area. Specifically Western Massachusetts. Holyoke Mall opened with a G. Fox, JCPenney, Sears, Service Merchandise, and Steiger’s as anchors. In the 90’s the mall renovated slightly and expanded. With this expansion G. Fox relocated. At the time of the expansion Holyoke Mall was the biggest mall in New England. The same time of the expansion Lord & Taylor decided to open a store in the mall near the food court, Lord & Taylor opened in November, 1993. In 1998 Pyramid made an attempt to build a cinema but it was blocked by the city. Lord & Taylor closed in 2005 due to the local market. In August,2007 Apple opened their first store and only store in Western Massachusetts. The next year Sephora and Pottery Barn opened stores. In 2016 Sports Aut...

The Royal Poinciana Plaza, Palm Beach, FL

When I was in South Florida I visit the newly renovated Royal Poinciana Plaza just north of Worth Avenue in Palm Beach and just south of The Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens. This is kind of in between those shopping districts and malls. The Royal Poinciana Plaza has three sections in a way those sections are The Plaza, Slat House, and Hibel House. The Plaza is the only outdoor part but there is a covering for rain. They also have beautiful black and white tiles throughout the plaza. One thing I noticed here that I thought was very interesting was that mainly the stores were mom and pop shops that weren’t really found in malls and if they were in malls they were VERY upscale. On their website there is a history tab that doesn’t have that much information on it but I will tell you what I gathered. There was a man named John S Phillip that dreamt of the plaza and asked John Volk to design a mall that would last 50 years. The first stores were FAO Schwartz and the first Gucci...
