The first shopping mall in America's Finest City opened in 1960 and

encompassed around 635,000 leasable square feet. It was anchored

by the largest Walker Scott store in the San Diego-based chain and

also had smaller J.C. Penney and J.J. Newberry locations. Two features

of the mid-century merchandising mecca were a 75-foot-long moving

sidewalk and rooftop heliport.
