Malls were a place for people to get together for many reasons. It was something to do. I was thinking that malls could be saved but I guess this one can't.
I applied for a job in that mall in 1975 and s was being built. Construction was going on, no elevators or escalators were running and I remember seeing the large sections of what was to be the new three story water slide. I was applying for a job at Friendly Ice Cream shop but didn’t get the job due to no experience. Bought my wedding dress from J.C . Penny’s in 1980.
The new development looks really cool! There are lots of projects like this in Texas & they are cool because they give the city a downtown type of area.
Wow. Lakeside might have been the best mall in the state in the 80s and into the 90s. So…I’ve asked before but have not gotten an answer: why is lakeside a ghost town but twelve oaks is doing fine? They used to be virtual mirrors of each other. Other than partridge creek…
So what happens to all the wood, furniture, light fixtures, sculptures etc in that more than 1 million square feet? In a landfill? Great way to protect our environment!
They should keep this mall . Shame on them for closing. I take my grandson there to see the best Santa's and we love shopping there . Just something else to take away from us .
