I wonder why it died, it was an awesome place back in the 70’s and 80’s

I hope they save the building itself

And do what with it? It’s way to big for a single store and not designed for a college or office building.

Metrocenter has sucked since they got rid of the cobblestone style floors, wooden upper mail railings, and giant concrete shade structures at the entrances.

Turn it into an outdoor mall.
