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 CENTER from the early 1960s. At this time, the mall was adjacent to two drive-in theaters; the Oakland Drive-In and Stadium Auto Movie. These outdoor venues are seen in the upper right corner of this image.
