Our LOST MALLS OF PHOENIX segment will discuss seven entrants. These are listed henceforth, under their original names.

*MARYVALE SHOPPING CITY [1959-1998]
*THOMAS MALL [1963-1993]
*(EAST) CAMELBACK MALL [1964-1994]
*TOWER PLAZA MALL [1967-1997]
*TRI CITY MALL [1968-1999]
*LOS ARCOS MALL [1969-2000]
*VALLEY WEST MALL [1974-2002]

NOTE: An eighth Phoenician complex, SCOTTSDALE GALLERIA, could also qualify as a LOST MALL. However, being as how its grand opening took place in 1990, it misses our MALL HALL OF FAME 1979 cut-off inclusion date.
