Our second METCALF SOUTH plan dates to 1991, after a face lift had been completed. A vacant Woolworth is divided into nine tenant spaces and a small Food Court. Likewise, the Safeway supermarket has been repurposed as an indoor amusement area. With these improvements, the complex covers around 946,000 leasable square feet. Mall floor designations changed in the 1970s. There were now Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.
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. This site includes historical sections about regional department stores, discount stores, 5 & 10 stores and supermarkets. 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!
