A vintage view of BAY FAIR CENTER. Macy's, the tall building in the background, was the third suburban shopping center branch of Macy's California (the first being at San Mateo's HILLSDALE CENTER...the second, at San Jose's VALLEY FAIR CENTER).

An aerial view of BAY FAIR from around the same time. During the mall's early years, it was adjacent to two drive-in theaters. These are seen in the upper right corner of this image.
