EL CON MALL in Tucson AZ, nearly turned into an abandoned Mall back in 2003, it was saved by brilliant businessmen and that area THRIVES today! Put the RIGHT PEOPLE in the Leadership Roles and amazings things can happen... put the WRONG DEI Hires into leadership roles, and amazings will NOT happen.

I worked there for a summer when I was 14. Good times for the most part, with the best being that I could just go swim after finishing my shift. I can also remember back when there was sand everywhere and you'd burn your feel to hell. It wasn't until the 90's or so that they installed the grass and the water walking areas. My high school has a senior night there.

i used to go to this mall as a kid in the early 2000s and came here again in 2021 with some friends to explore it at night. it was honestly straight out of a nightmare at night. i only spent a couple hours before i decided that i didn’t wanna get unalived in that mall so i got my ass OUT of there. the nostalgia was great though 🥲

I used to visit that mall all the time when I was a kid. Grandma would give each of us grandchildren a penny and the monkey would take it and put it in a small can. Sometimes he would tip his little hat. The monkey nipped me once just cutting the skin.... no big deal back then. There also used to be a huge fountain at the entrance. It was loud!

I mean it definitely is trying to save Marvel by bringing him back, since he carried it, but as you mentioned, there's couple comics where Tony takes role of Von Doom, they're like friends and swap personas? Smth like that, so they'll make another alternate universe thingy I think, based on comics. Honestly, it's prolly more based on original stuff when compared to some different Disney shenanigans. I'll go so far and say that they'll make it with Holland Spider Man who'll see Tony Stark, will think it's Tony, just to be bonked by Dr Doom. Who knows.

I grew up at this mall, soooo many memories! My dad was a bus driver so I could ride for free from 31st av and bethany to Christown. I remember as far back as Farrell's. The Sand Sculptures. I saw The Never Ending Story in the upstairs theater. I remember that place that sold huge TVs by montgomery wards, I think across from woolworth, anyway they were playing the beginning of top gun over and over to showcase the tv'd quality. With the jets taking off "hiiighway to the danger zone.." Always loved the atriums and plants! JCPenney was my first job there when I turned 16. Good memories

The Sand Sculptures started as a promo for summer reading program. The big dragons was called Bookman the Dragon.(I think). It was such a hit they extended it for a couple of years. It was a big draw. I took my kids several times. They loved different sculptures. Each year they would change the main feature in the center of the mall. That's when JC Penney's was right in front of the center. Before Costco was there. Went there lot too. 😕 Sad about all the malls.

I grew up a few miles North from this mall. I used to bike here with my grandpa and brother as a little kid. We would walk around the mall during the hot summer days to cool off too. It used to be much bigger. I mildly remember the Montgomery Ward. The mall used to have the orange brick tile and they had a lot of decorative plants inside which I miss. I remember the dillards shutting down in the early 2000s and when Walmart and Costco moved in. That Costco was my go to Costco since it was so close and convenient. I miss having a Costco in this part of town. I never got to experience this mall in its prime but it was a prominent location in my life while I was growing up in the early 2000s. Especially the harkins and Costco. I think they also had a KB toys in this mall. My parents would often take me to Metro center and Paradise Valley Mall often as well.

My best memories at Christown mall are all the sand art that they had. Also my family were eating at the Miracle Mile Deli, and my sister, about 10 years old, wanted to eat horseradish sauce. My parents warned her multiple times, but she insisted. So they gave her a very small protion on the fork. Her eyes got about 3 times big and covered her ears. She stormed off to the planters nearby and she said youre despicable as she was walking away.
