Title: Wow this is fucked up.
Post by: brawndolicious on March 30, 2007, 07:38:04 PM

Near my school there's this mall named vallco mall and five years ago during the tech crash they didn't want the storeowners to think that rents would be lower so they raised the rents and that made half the stores (the whole bottom floor) go out.  They started reconstructing again and rather than put new stores on the bottom floor, they're making a third floor.

This is the bottom floor:

This is the top floor to supposedly non-damned shopping spots:

Yeah the bottom is all gonna be Strikes bowling alley while the top is the movie theater area from my understanding. I miss visiting my girl at work there.

Its huge. Whens the movie theater gonna open? They take down the Vallco signs yet? Renaming it to Cupertino Square is strange. But I guess Vallco wasnt working out as a name.

Theater is this spring so it's probably going to be full of japanese Raimi fans until winter where there'll be a lull and by next summer it might be good.

There's basically an ice rink, obscene sushi buffet, and some department stores.  I think it's basically not able to decide if it's where bored housewives go to buy lingerie they'll never use at victoria's secret or frederick's of hollywood or teens go to loiter and look at knives and sex game toys in the specialty stores right now.

It's pretty fucking asian.
