What the heck happened to this mall? Yes, I realize we've come a long ways from the glory days of the early 80's when this was the biggest mall in Arizona and I believe, the biggest mall in the entire Southwest. In fact, this mall was so big that teens would come from miles around to shop, ice skate at the indoor rink in the mall, and cruise the circle drive around the parking lot.
Even in the early 2000's, when I worked at a bank in Glendale fairly close to the mall, it was headed downhill, but still a place I would go on a quick shopping trip.
Today we stopped to look for some items at the Dillard's Outlet and then walked into the mall for a little bit. What a ghost town! The mall has only three places left to recommend it to visitors, the previously mentioned Dillard's Outlet, Sports Chalet and the Harkin's Theatre.
Overall, a disappointing and depressing experience.
