    The knife shop actually connected to the food court through a back door. I remember also another shop next door did the same thing. Unless they moved it later on.

    Although I never was at this mall, I saw my share of malls in Colorado go the same route. In the early 80’s, there were several that were really booming but as we approached 2000 and beyond, many were torn down and rebuilt as big box shopping areas, most of which were open air. After Covid, I returned to my home state of Florida but I still remember all the good times I had at those malls no longer there 😢😢

    Thank you for filming the last days of the Fiesta Mall. I remember hearing from the news in 2008 when a stabbing happened right at the restroom right by the food court, that was awful.

    I’m glad you were able to get inside to show us the interior. Could have done without the stabbing story though. Don’t understand how you were brave enough to risk arrest to enter the mall but not so much to go into a dark bathroom you were talking about. Still a nice walk through; much appreciated.

    Went to this one many times while vacationing or travel for work. Thanx for showing the label scars on the walls...its always hard to remember what was there after so long. This was another SEARS HOLDINGS development...they went around the country buying up real estate and making malls so they (SEARS) could be the anchor and make tons of money. Well, that was then I guess.

    When they're finished tearing down the mall they'll likey build townhomes or apartments on the property to accommodate more people and increase the cities incoming tax revenue. It's always about the money.

    I worked as a store manager in retail and was there for the mall grand opening in 1980. Sears (Homar) owned the mall at that time. It was a beautiful mall, very popular and the east valley was a high growth area. Sad to see this happening. Retail and malls just didn’t keep up and stay current.

    You tried, which I appreciate, but your narration is like those clickbait articles that take 25 pages and diverts before getting to the story. 😂😂 Also, were you part of the demo crew? Otherwise, it's pretty reckles to go into a building as equipment is literally pulling it down. Dudes in the cranes and everything. So bold!! 😂😂

    I see this mall and it is like one I worked in a few times when I lived in Eugene Oregon. I bet this mall has a lot of memories for people when they were younger. I worked at one named Valley River Center in Eugene Oregon. Some good memories and some not so good. Like most things this mall had it's life and then it died. Too bad for the people who grew up going there. It is the end of an era.
