These were located in St. Petersburg and Clearwater, respectively, and will now be considered the first and second of Clearwater-St. Pete's LOST MALLS. In order of their completion, these five "Lost" shopping centers are...
*GATEWAY MALL [1968-1998]
*SUNSHINE MALL [1968-1998]
*SEMINOLE MALL [1970-2015]
*CLEARWATER MALL [1973-2002]
*PINELLAS SQUARE [1977-2004]
As one can see, the GATEWAY and SUNSHINE MALLS, which opened in 1968, both had their destiny dates with a wrecking ball during 1998. GATEWAY, SEMINOLE, CLEARWATER and PINELLAS SQUARE were replaced by open-air power centers. The SUNSHINE site was redeveloped as a residential complex.
