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!

In a more recent photo, we see that the gaudy, Post-Modern bric-a-brac of the 1990s has been ripped down from the mall's exterior, leaving a more spartanly-appointed -and attractive- main entry.

These days, most of the mall is not devoted to retail. It houses several educational facilities, medical offices, traditional offices and a full-service restaurant.

A recent view of the Convenience Center that was added to McALISTER SQUARE in the early '70s. Today, the mini-complex is known as McALISTER MARKETPLACE. Its name is a homage to the Winn-Dixie Marketplace grocery that was in operation here until 1993.
