Parkdale Mall opened in 1973, containing a Jcpenny, Joske's and Montgomery ward. By the mid 1980s, Sears opened with the construction of a brand new wing. Original recording date: 7/30/24
I was at Beaumont about a month ago and stopped by Parkdale mall and Central mall in Port Arthur. I stopped by Parkdale mall on a Friday evening, and it was pretty lively. I think the mall is doing good now but could be in trouble in the next ten years if there isn't any done to help improve it. Central mall on the other hand is definitely in trouble. It's not so bad that it can't turn around, but it definitely needs help.
