  Finally, a video of Naperville that shows people around. Most videos of Naperville (downtown area) I dont see people walking or driving cars around. I guess it depends on the time of recording; But a complaint I see from people is that it has bad traffic. I dont see much cars moving around though ...

  How close was this Shopping Center in terms of access to major Freeways❓️🤔 Shopping Centers such as this one suffer when they are noy Openly visible to the Public, and am wondering if this also could have contributed to its downfall. Woodfield has been ahead of its time, due to its Centralized Location and is directly off of Interstate I-90, and nestled nicely in where it is visible and Accessible to Traffic in all directions. It has also withstood a Pandemic, Online Shopping, and for Losing Sears, Lord & Taylor, they can escape such a grind or setback easier than where Stratfot is Located. Or so seems.

  By far, one of the most Beautiful Indoor Meccas Ive ever seen. Unfortunately, never seen in person. I currently moved back to the West Coast, but when i lived in the Outer Burbs of Chicago., IL, I did from time to time, attend and shop or stroll thru All Oakbrook, Old Orchard, Woodfield, Golf Mill, Riverside,and the HIP (Harlem Irving Plaza). Back on the West Coast, in Southern California, just East of Los Angeles, ive got Santa Anita, Montebello Town Center (Just a 10 min ride away, and a shopping district is Pasadena. However, not even Woodfield can compare to the Beautiful decor of this Mall in Stratfort.

  My Mom was hired into Carson Pririe Scott back when the mall opened. She worked there till we moved in 87. For years, I remember going there in the evening with my Dad and sister walking the mall until it closed and Mom got off work. The one thing I remember about the mall was the large amount of water features and the gnomes. At each sitting area was a planter that had gnome statues in it. There was also a large reflecting pool in the area were the single elevator was and the large waterfall near the food court. During the Christmas season, the reflecting pool was drained and covered with 'snow' and 'ice' with elves all over. For stores, on the second floor near Carson's I can remember a TV store that sold large tv sets and projection screen TVs. We are talking the old 80s giant furniture sized Projection TVs. There was also a KB Toy store, and at one point a Sanrio/Hello Kitty store. I remember in the Food Court, we usually ate at the Charlie Chan's. Across from the food court, there was a section that was open and had a deli and bakery in it. I remember 'meat' hanging from the ceiling and getting croissants in a corner painted to look 'French'. The large open area in front of the waterfall was used for various events. There was a traveling Disney show that had not only the full sized characters, but also puppets singing and dancing to various Disney tunes. There was also a large model event of various buildings with interiors. It may have been Lego but I don't quite remember. Watching the video, I tried placing areas with those childhood memories. While much is as I remember from the 80s, the ribbed wooden columns, the wooden slat ceiling areas and the sky lights, alot is different. The big difference is the missing reflecting pool and the missing roar of the waterfall.

  I worked in this mall 20 years ago. I was a frequent visitor in the 1980s and 1990s. It was beautiful then. By the time I worked there, it was in decline. Sad.

  As a GenX guy it very sad to see malls being torn down. Since I was a kid the mall in my county provided everything one needed. You didn’t have to go to several locations. Malls were a very logical concept especially during cold winters. Not to mention the social aspect. There’s nothing like shopping at Christmas time. You would always run into someone and maybe have a coffee.

At 47, I am sad to see these well intentioned Plazas, and Centers being dismissed and were living in a time where BIG Brother wants our Future generations to have no social skills, no sense of Tradition, Cultural values, and would love nothing more than to civilization turn into ROBOTS. Online Shopping, Way to much time on the Cell phone, and worse off, Corporate greed, Stubbornness on the part of Business owners is why we are currently at this stage of time. Sadly.😥
