Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet. The MALL HALL OF FAME is a vintage shopping mall scrapbook. Its focus is on shopping complexes built -in the USA- between 1946 and 1979. Don't forget to visit our four Shopping Mall Memory Lanes, which transport you through time to a mall in 1956, 1963, 1970 and 1977!

The southwest corner of EASTGATE CENTER, following the mall's mid-'60s expansion. The Loveman's depicted here originally encompassed 41,000 square feet. Like Miller's and Miller Brothers, there were different Loveman's chains; Loveman's (Chattanooga), Loveman's (Nashville) and Loveman's of Alabama.


The cinematic venue at EASTGATE was also added in the mid-1960s. I saw the first runs of several films here. There was "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii" (in 1973), "Star Wars" (in 1977) and "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (in 1979).
