The main entrance of HOLLYWOOD MALL. Upon its 1964 dedication, Broward County could boast of having two ultra-modern, fully-air-conditioned shopping centers (HOLLYWOOD MALL and CORAL RIDGE SHOPPING PLAZA). Dade County, the more populous neighbor to the south, would not have an interior mall until 1970.
