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!

A view of Center Court at the original MISSION VALLEY CENTER. A park-like area was situated on the mall's lower level parking deck, which included a large fountain, seating and several climbable animal statues.

Another aerial view of the complex, this time looking toward the northwest. The humongous structure on the right is the May's Mission Valley (May Company) department store.
