I used to take the RTD bus line 5 with mother to the mall and when i got older i went with my friends to the mall it was good times to be a teenager and just hanging out buying clothes and shoes for school and it was a good time for me.
Awesome. Good to see you got to this one. I requested it. I would frequent here in the late 80s. I believe the movie theaters were on the first floor. We would mostly go here because of the movie theaters. I drove through there today on 120th and got to see the side if the mall. Can't believe the building is still there.
Hey Eric...thanks for this upload. Hung out there a couple of times (I was more of a 1st Gen Del Amo Mall Rat). I actually got married in a chapel behind the Hawthorne Plaza. It'll 27 years this June 28.
Agreed!! They better make something cuz it's a waste if it stays there for more years! Also there's this other place near it called hometown buffet I passed there and guess what! It's abandoned...
The reason it's called the plaza is because of the plazas that were along Birch St. Back in the day. The original area the mall was built was potentially an attractive place and had it been modernized, it could have been today. The new trend would be an open-air promenade. 2 examples in my area would be the Sparks, NV Outlet and the way they've redone Carson City.
Awwww !!! Nice !!!! I worked at the customer service at the Broadway store back in the mid eighties, I didn't notice any criminal activity then, everything was fun and good time
I worked at leads cards & gifts. I went out with a security guard who worked their. Some of my friends worked at Hot Dog on a stick. Crime sure did get bad.
This mall was opened around the same timeframe as Glendale Galleria, except the Glendale Galleria is still going strong today. I take it this building is still standing although gutted. Hopefully it will soon be demolished so as not to attract derelicts and kids.
