Do You Remember Valley View Center Mall in Dallas Texas?

Valley View Center was a shopping mall located at Interstate 635 and Preston Road in north Dallas, Texas, U.S.[4] It is owned and managed by Dallas-based Beck Ventures. The anchor stores that were once JCPenney, Macy's, Sears, and Dillard's are all vacant.
Originally developed in 1973, the mall flourished and expanded during the 1980s, but began to encounter financial difficulties by the 1990s. Bloomingdale's closed its location in 1990, which triggered a court battle with the mall's then-owner, LaSalle Street Fund, when Montgomery Ward attempted to acquire the anchor space once occupied by Bloomingdale's, which resulted in the space remaining empty until JCPenney opened there in 1996. The site of the mall's original movie theater closed in 1991, stayed empty for over a decade, and was eventually renovated and replaced with studio spaces for radio stations KBFB and KZMJ. A new, larger AMC movie theater later opened in 2004. The addition of this new theater slowed, but did not halt, the mall's falling fortunes. Macy's (who acquired the department store Foley's in 2006) closed in March 2008; Dillard's closed their location in December 2008; and, JCPenney later closed its location in April 2013. All three respective anchor spaces remained vacant despite differing proposed plans for renovation.

I hate when malls die it’s so sad especially this one in 2022

[@EricCProductions76]

it is sad.

I remembered that was the only Bloomingdale's in North Texas 🎉🎉

You know things were bad when a Bloomingdales closed in 1990 and Macy's in 08. Great video!

[@EricCProductions76]

thanks my friend.

Its great that you brought up the fact about the real estate developer for this mall being a "subsidiary" of Sears. A lot of people don't know that conglomerates like this had separate real estate divisions. They were responsible for land acquisition's and developments for expansion purposes for both stores and new shopping centers that they would anchor. Sears, Marshall Fields and even Kohls had such divisions.

I remember pushing my daughter in the stroller to go to the mall. We lived not too far away. I still have clothes from over 20 years ago that I bought there.

I hate to see this. Malls were such a huge part of my life as a teen.

Great timeline but not many pictures of the past.

So, who else is here from The Rolling Giant?

[@johnharvey5381]

It was a hangout place for me and a lot of my friends before we had cars. We'd smoke some weed, play instruments in McCord Music Company, go to the arcade and look at records without buying anything at Hastings.

[@EricCProductions76]

Thanks for sharing those memories

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

My parents meet at this mall working at the Sears in the late 80s

[@EricCProductions76]

Nice, thanks for sharing memory

[@chocolatechipslime]

I have a few suggestions- Alco, Sprouse-Ritz and Anchor Blue and the Winrock Mall in Albuquerque

[@EricCProductions76]

Here is the history of Anchor Blue: ruclips.net/video/QRc8exGtTSg/видео.html
Thanks for the suggestions, I will put it on my list. Thanks.

Did this mall have a glass elevator that landed in a fountain, where you could see the water sloshing around the door at the bottom? I used to live in TX as a kid in the early 90's and I can't remember if this is the mall I used to go to or not.

[@EricCProductions76]

Im not quite sure.

[@ElGuny]

It did

[@Melissa0774]

@@ElGuny This must be the one that I went to when I was a kid, then. I wonder if there are any other elevators like that anywhere else. It was so weird, that I wasn't even sure it was a real memory or if I just imagined it.

[@plushtimetv]

Century III Mall or Parkway Center Mall.

[@EricCProductions76]

I will put it on my list. Thanks for the suggestion
