Eddie44 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Old natives! My guess is he was born here and I moved here in 1958. Let's see if Ed knows what was on their site originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the grand opening of that mall. OMG! Damn Eddie. It opened in Aug 61 and I grew up at 13th Ave and Camelback so it was a big deal. Here's a pic of it as it looked back then. It's one end of lightrail now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one end of lightrail now. Hey Eddie, Since you lived so close, answer this: there was a life size metal sculpture of an animal right outside the north entrance on the west end of the mall. What kind of animal was it, and what was the animal's name? (hint: it was a character from a children's story). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Got me on that one! I do remember the huge sand sculptures in the center court and the organ grinder with the monkey but can't place any other sculpture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Got me on that one! I do remember the huge sand sculptures in the center court and the organ grinder with the monkey but can't place any other sculpture. I thought you might remember it because it was put there for kids to play on. It was a life-size sculpture of Ferdinand the Bull, sniffing a flower. I remember he was (dare I mention this color) ORANGE. Okay, here's another one. In the early/mid 70's there were two drag strips here, one eastside and one westside. What were their names?

I worked right down that row of shops at the Baskin Robbins while in HS. Now I work across the street and look down on that corner from the 11th floor.

The only fast-food place I ever worked. . . Correction, SE corner was DW. I ate lunch there enough in HS that I wouldn't forget. NE was Indian School and NW was empty lot with a billboard. Just north of IS on the westside was Carnation. Just north of that was Shakey's Pizza. It was at Central and Indian School Rd just south. What was the amusement ride next to it? Can't place an amusement ride but I'll probably remember when you post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
