Windsor Park Mall postmortem video at DeadMalls (Orange, Chico: theatres, school)

[Buffyfan]

ooh...how I loved Orange Juilius. And El Chico was pretty good too!

My first 3 Kids all had their first pics with Santa at Windsor...For a long time I thought it was the hardest place to get into..Actually I was overthinking it. I started taking I-35 up to Eisenhaur Rd and backtracking...We went every weekend after that...I loved just walking around and watching people. It was great exercise for me when I was pregnant with my first 2.

Terrible video, she should be embarrassed but probably thought she was funny.

The video mentioned that the mall closed in 2004. I don't remember it ever being open that recently. Maybe Mervyn's. But was the entire mall open then? What else was remaining there?

fond memories.
of getting kicked out with my friends and hitting on all the fine chicks at the stores...

Technically they aren't done until the entire mall is occupied and built out but that's years off. Phase III is expected to be finished by year end completley but then again they've been saying that for 2 years or so. Probably be in by early next year this time though.

At that point nearly half the mall will be occupied by Rackspace. There are plans for the other half but they are still in the design phase but the ideas are looking pretty cool.

I will aggree that our London office is much more upscale looking on the inside but its location sort of calls for that. The atmosphere inside the SA HQ is much more fun .

I wonder if I could get a job a Rackspace? I used to be pretty good at pool and Foosball. And I could 'rack' up alot of overtime lounging around on all of that cool furniture.Until I saw this video, I didn't know that's what they did. I always thought it was going to be a big topless club.

The mall was open, but not much was there. The only place open besides the mall offices were kiosks on the lower level. Most people used the mall as a place to walk. This was a far cry from the mall's heyday, before all the punk gangbangers took it over.

I know I took my mother there for early voting in the 2004 Primaries...

Though definitely not a mall anymore, Rackspace has done a great job of retaining the original architecture and elements of Windsor Mall.
