A Look Inside DEAD MALL In Dallas Texas!

• SOME HISTORY OF THE MALL

According to wiki....

Valley View Center is a dead mall located at Interstate 635 and Preston Road in northDallas, 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
