Death of Metrocenter Mall - Phoenix, AZ

[@colleenbuvala4698]

I went with my 3 siblings to this mall in October 2016 to adopt a beautiful belgian malinois puppy from the az humane society that had a shop in there. The place had a very eerie feeling to it.

[@ZenWave93]

I remember this mall at Christmas time around 1997 vividly. Warm yellow lights and decorations and a comfortable feeling that I haven’t felt replicated since then. Some videos of old malls capture it slightly, but it was magic. The fountains, the theaters, the toy store. What a great place in its day.

[@dirtyface-capone7622]

Sad to see it go.I'm from San Diego, but my grandparents lived in Phoenix AZ back in the 90's.Metro Center was the first place they ever took me in Phoenix.This was way back in like '93/'94.When you had to take an escalator down into the arcade area.At least it stays alive in our memories.

It's good to know you can always reminisce if you watch Bill and Teds excellent adventure .

[@deserthighlander1969]

As a teenager in the Mid-80's, this was the place to hang out. It used to have an ice skating rink in the lower level under the food court, which eventually turned into an arcade. Crusin' the circle drive is a fond memory. You'd have to go around twice in one direction, flip around, and go the opposite way not to get pulled over and asked to leave by the "Mall Cops". We'd often park and walk around to mingle. So much fun!

Thanks for the update. We left Phx several years ago but Im from there mostly - lived through all of the 80's through just a few years ago. I remember when Metreo was a HIT and everyone cruised around the roads all night. I never went skating but I reemember watching people ice skate. Fashion Square was "my mall" too because I lived right around the corner from it. Scottsdale popuilation was right around 134K people then. Good times.

You’re correct. United Artists was by the library. If I recall correctly, there was also a tiny old AMC by the Swensons on the northwest outer loop generally where the Bed Bath and Beyond and Ross got built.

So sad how we're going into the future, yet things seem to be regressing. If someone would have asked me in the 90's if there would be more or less malls I'd have guessed more. I feel bad for kids growing up and not experiencing the mall and shopping culture of the 80's and 90's.

I really miss metro as a kid. I remember the Neon mini golf that was there. I remember being really bummed out when the next year my parents took us it was long gone. My parents would take my sister and I to both Metro and Arrowhead every year for Christmas shopping, I really miss those times in my childhood. I remember my dad getting a copy of Halo CE, at the game stop there, wanna say that was 2008. The Lens Crafters there is where I also got my first few pairs of glasses. This was in 2013 when the mall was basically dead and the crack heads didnt fully move in yet. Looking back from my childhood to now, it really makes me sad. Phoenix isnt what it used to be in the mid 2000's to 2013 ish? Seeing all my favorite places and restaurants bulldozed or out of business. I dont know if you guys ever been, but Frys Electronics on Thunderbird Road was another favorite place dad and I used to love to go to. I used to live just down the street from it. Its where he bought the WOW Burning Crusade expansion, bought all of his PC parts, bought all of our games, or anything electronic related. Another place dying out and was real sad to see go. 15:07 Castles N Coasters also planned on expanding over the Canal, but its owned by the Military, so that plan was a bust. 16:38 I dont recommend getting fire arms from this store. They sell at a WAY higher price than what they should be. Learned that the hard way. Staff also isnt the most friendly P.S. I had no idea you guys had a second Channel. Crazy how this just popped up in my feed.

[@phoenixtimesmetro]

Same. I found this video in my recommended feed. I also shopped at that Fry's Electronics on Thunderbird. Phoenix in general had been declining while I lived there but you can't even get a basket or shopping cart to shop inside the Walgreens because the bums stole them all! That was back in 2015. I can't even imagine how run down that Walgreens is now 10 years later, or if it is even open anymore. I'm going to Google it now. 😂

Im still so sad to see it go. I'll never forget how that mall made me feel and the vibe it had. I was on the news in November talking about my memories there and it was so surreal being there again and seing it in that state but also feeling that same feeling again, like coming home in a sense. Crazy that they've already demolished so much of it since then.

[@azmax623]

I grew up about 6 miles from Metro, and it was the hangout mall in my teens. It's a shame that the mall shut down. Edit: The Sears building is not part of the demo for now. I think Eddy Lampert's company still owns the building.

[@onthecasejeannie]

I Live like half of a mile from here. It's about to be popping over there again once they put the Apts in . I'm on the video actually looking for my car to go by in the background on my way to Jars right there, so far, haven't seen me. I love that matchbox twenty shirt btw. There was also an ice rink in the mall . Yes there was a rainforest Cafe in there too. Desert Sky mall used to be West Ridge mall. I actually still call it west ridge lol.

[@jg1922bigboss]

[@sjntube]

I'm an East Valley guy (East Mesa, AJ) and in my 50's. Have fond, fond, fond memories of cruising around the loop at Metro as a teen. Cops hated it and we were always getting busted. Metro was THE place to hang out, ice skate and hit the arcades. I personally think Metro's decline started when Fiesta Mall opened up. Fiesta Mall pulled a ton of East Valley shoppers away from Metrocenter. Rest in peace Metrocenter and Fiesta Mall. Two big parts of my childhood - gone. (((Oh, yea, that storage shop has some SERIOUS Backrooms vibes!! )))

[@918scott]

I am a 4th gen Phoenician. I was there the first day it opened. When in high school during the 80's, we used to "cruise metro" going around in circles watching people and cool cars. Great memories of ice skating rink. The store Chess King to get ultra thin ties to impress the girls. Terrible salty food at the food court. Hanging out with friends walking around for hours being stupid. BTW.. I have storage in that storage center you visited. It is hot in there during the summer! I will be pulling my stuff out soon as they keep raising the prices way too much.

[@unfazedreview3000]

Thanks for sharing! The salty foodcourt was iconic! That’s funny about the storage center. Yes you’ll have to find a new location soon!

I’ve seen them start to go belly up over the last 40 years a few in New Jersey and then out here a few and all over the country as well. The one here in Tucson the Sears has already closed up the Tucson Mall. I’m betting won’t last too long but they do have a few good restaurants here so it might last a while. Hell I order everything online. I never have to really go into a store. Except for a few things, but I never really have to go into a mall.

Between Fiesta Mall and now Metro Center getting demolished, its really sad seeing all these places I used to frequent just being bulldozed. Nothing like hitting up the mall after school with your friends and screwing around untill closing time. I had no idea that Fashion Center is basically just all clothes now;thats really dumb... They used to have that French restaurant there that had pretty good soup and sandwiches, i think it was called Madelines or something? Sad to see, Arizona really needs indoor hangout places like these and they're basically all disappearing 😞

[@diggingattycho7908]

Funny to remember when Metro was a grass field. My Grandmother and my mom taking me there in the 70's. Going to Golf N Stuff, then cruising(driving around, when I was 16) the mall in the early eighties. The mall put up gates to keep the kids from cruising, that's how bad it got. It was in the 90's when the mall went into decline. But that was the trend at the time, most of the malls in the Phoenix area were gone by the mid nineties. That trend began in the late eighties, in 1987 the real estate market crashed in Phoenix. By about 1990 most of the malls in town were cutting back on amenities(extras). Then they started to shut down, back then we noticed but things were still good. What we didn't realize was money didn't go as far as it used to. Entrepreneurism was most effected, the money isn't there for doing the crazy stuff anymore. Another area which effects real estate is regulation. You have to have some deep pockets just to open a restaurant, in a space that had a restaurant as it's last tenant. That's because it's going to take months to go through the red tape. Forget any other creative ideas, the city will run you through the ringer with regulation.

I remember going there a few times as a child in the early 2000s. It would be wall to wall packed with zero vacant stores. Then around 2005-ish, mall culture started to change and there was a shift toward online shopping. It seemed like malls weren't as busy unless it was Christmas time. I stopped by Metro in the summer of 2012, and by then, the mall was descending into something absolutely pitiful. Sad to see what came of it and the area.

The Metro Mall with the ice skating rink, Fly-N-Hi 4x4 shop, a strip club called the Candy Store, parking next to Don Dokken's 4-Runner at the airport ,and the Salt River. The mall was so cool and having the ice rink in there so cool. Sorry to see the Metro go. Best of memories!

[@azmax623]

Inside theatres where Harkins. It started on the top level as a 6 screen theatre, and moved downstairs once the ice rink then arcade had closed down. Outer Loop theatre was Metro Park Cinemas. I don't know if they had a bigger affiliation. Theatre at 31st and Peoria was AMC. They moved this one to Deer Valley in the 90's.

It had some really wild interior architecture. I suggest doing some googling. The floor plan was a giant "Z". It was absolute Americana of the late 70's and 80's I remember when the McDonald's was all the way at end, tucked into a corner away from the main food court.

I thought I remembered more small businesses along the road, more homes. There was a Chevy dealer close by. I don't recall seeing hookers on the street corners. Pop up shopping centers with the usual national chains now occupy more spots. Wal Mart was at the corner of a mall then. What probably has not changed is Bicycle theft.

Took 2 years to build Walmart with the secret underground base .. then a $30M bridge to the closing metro center . Was there when it opened . Music stores and music everywhere . It was wonderful for the children especially . Asked the lady if Dillard's was closing ..oh no ... The old guy at the Sears store was blown out the front of a bomber when the bombs went off he did a Superman right out the front into a lake . Natives helped him walk out and call the base . True story .. So this is sad but I was sick of getting sick at the Harkins . It was filthy . The AC was blowing poison air .. yeah it was time to go . When you take the train to ASU look at all the rotten old buildings e wryones hanging on to makes it all look pretty bad . I remember 1964 there were naked children shot creeks and cardboard buildings on the south side with smell of the dump coming over at night and the Durango Curve stink from the slaughterhouse in the middle of the city . And screaming planes going over ..South side was a little sketchy .. I miss Tower Plaza Ice skate . Chaparral Raceway and Gentle Strength Coop was a dream . The smell was wonderful. And the VNB tower went up and the 4 lane Black Canyon Freeway went in all about the same time . And there were fruit vegetable and juice stands every half mile .. And Apache Land . I cried going up Apache Trail . So this wienie grew into a Marine and stopped growing at 7 feet in my boots . I gotta inch on Hulk Hogan and 50 years ago almost today was guarding Kissinger and Chase juSt returned from China Accords . On the old Greene Cattle Co. Well we moved here for adventure ya know ...

It was a Stollen Bowling game and she broke the wind up toy and well the only store that ever had it was KB Toys. The KB Toys I got it from went out of business closing the doors forever the day I bought it. I was the last customer they had that day and I went back the next day to buy more stuff but the store was shut down and they were out of business. The entire mall closed a few months later. My city use to have 7 major malls. We have 3 now and I have not been in 1for 25 years and another for 18 years and the other for over 5 years.
