A sign of the times, so to say. It proclaimed Boulder's CROSSROADS MALL between the years 1983 and 2004.

The CROSSROADS complex was expanded exponentially in the early 1980s. A bi-level North Wing was completed in two phases, which opened in 1981 and 1983. This added over 200,000 square feet of retail area. In the photo above, a new east mall entrance leads into J.C. Penney.

California's Mervyn's chain added a store to the new North Wing. It opened for business in February 1986.

Denver-based May D & F (on the right) was part of the Phase II North Wing expansion. In the distance is the circa-1963 South Wing of the shopping hub. By the time this photo was taken, "The Denver" store had closed for good and been retenanted by Sears.

This layout, dating to 1990, shows how the original mall (in black) was incorporated with the new North Wing (in shades of gray). As previously mentioned, this addition was built in two phases; the darker section being completed first. Taking into account Mervyn's -and a recently-enlarged May D & F- the shopping complex now spans approximately 809,000 leasable square feet.
