The original plan for a renovated COLLEGE GROVE CENTER, circa-
1986. In this prospectus, the open-air mall was to be fully-enclosed and
two new anchors built. The existing Walker Scott, on the left end, was
to remain. Two parking garages were to be built, as well.

This layout, from 1989, shows how things eventually ended up. The

plan seen above was scaled-down drastically. The mall was never

enclosed and no new anchors -or parking garages- were added. As a

matter of fact, the Walker Scott department store was torn down and

replaced with a multiplex cinema. The lower level of outward-facing

stores were buried by an extension of upper level parking. This version

of the mall -known as MARKETPLACE AT THE GROVE- lasted for only

ten years.
