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!

FASHION ISLAND and Newport Center signage. The Newport Center name is used as a designation for the entire business, shopping and entertainment district that surrounds the mall.

A bird's-eye view of FASHION ISLAND, circa-2006. The white anchor store seen in the lower left (which is the Macy's in the photo above) would be replaced by a newly-built Nordstrom in April 2010.
