| - The 90's fashion might be coming back into style but malls are not. I had not been to Superstition Springs Mall in ages but with 100* degree temperatures looming, I was looking for a place to walk around and shop out of the heat.
There are 4 anchor stores remaining: Sears, Dillard's, Macy's, and JCPenny's, with the original fifth anchor being replaced with Book Vault. Most stores are open, but there are a few empty spaces that leave me with an uneasy feeling that sadly, this mall will meet the same fate as Fiesta, and other fallen malls, in less than 10 years. Even with gimicky kiosk carts such a Dragon's Puff (liquid nitrogen frozen cereal balls), the iconic, to double-decker, indoor carousel, and The Cheesecake Factory on the outskirts, probably won't be able to save this place for too long.
There is a summer concert series offered on Saturday nights that seems to be a big hit with the local retired crowd. I have not seen so many camping chairs in one place besides a pee wee soccer game. There is also a dollar movie theatre, Picture Show, which is nice if you want to make a day out of it as we did.
