Westside Pavilion Begins Conversion Into Google!

LA’s famous Westside Pavilion has began its conversion into Google offices. Westside Pavilion was in many music videos. In early 2019 Macerich closed the mall after both anchor stores Nordstrom and Macy’s. I also think they decided to close this mall because many stores kept closing! Have fun working, not shopping wt Westside Pavilion today!

Nordstrom closed and reopened at the NeW Westfield Century City.

Swansea Mall, Swansea, MA

Why do I keep visiting malls on the brink of closure? Either way here’s the Swansea Mall just east of Providence. This was once the premier shopping mall in Providence so let’s see how it fell. Swansea Mall opened with two anchors Sears and Edgar Department Store which was founded in Brockton, MA. Swansea Mall got two more anchors from an expansion in 1980 Caldor and Rhode Island’s Apex. In 1089 the mall had a major renovation the cinema was removed. Edgar’s left the mall and Boston based Jordan Marsh. The mall’s logo was changed to what it was when it closed. In 1996 Jordan Marsh closed all their stores and were converted into a Macy’s. The Caldor stores had a fire in their store in 1997. Many restaurants left in the 90’s and that is where I think the decline started. In 1995 the mall opened a food court at the Caldor end of the mall. In 2001 Walmart opened in the former Caldor and Apex shut down. Walmart moved out of the mall in 2013 into an outparcel building. In January...

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 ...

Walpole Mall, Walpole, MA

Walpole Mall is a strange sad little mall just south of Boston that if you drove by you would just think it is a busy plaza but you would be extremely wrong. Since the interior of the mall is so small and forgotten the mall doesn’t have much written history but here is what I know. Walpole Mall opened in the 70’s with a Bradlee’s and is a dumbell type of mall which is pretty common in New England. In 1997 the mall was given a facelift which is not what it looks like now but in this renovation they added many big box stores. In 1998 the mall was given one of New England first Old Navy’s which is really funny that it was here because now they are in what feels like every mall around here. Around the recession the mall was given another renovation which was pointless because since the recession this place has lost all of the national brands on the inside and has even been de-malled a all the way from Kohl’s to the former Old Country Buffet. The Walpole Mall had many different stores such ...
