When was hillcrest mall built

I really would appreciate one or the other. Hillcrest Mall should never be forgotten. Thank you so much. I really good story I really enjoyed. And I also Enjoyed shopping at Hillcrest mall. An accurate description of Hillcrest Mall is that it is a mall that never should have been built. What details exist of this mall online up to now are quite inaccurate, but looking through old newspaper articles should clear up the confusion.

It was just an early strip mall with no department stores and not even a grocery store, but it continued to expand over the next decade. It has always been very successful as a strip mall as well, but its later mall expansion could hardly share that claim of success.

With that, Hillcrest was definitely not the first mall in Spartanburg, but it definitely was the first strip shopping center.

It was built after the last photo, but it would be located at the top if so.

This was the busiest the mall parking lot would likely ever be. The new Ivey's store is in the foreground while the old strip mall is in the background on the other side of Belk Hudson.

This is all looking southwest. The mall lasted a mere 16 years. Posted by J. Livemalls February 4, at PM. Anonymous February 5, at AM. Anonymous February 6, at AM. Tommy Thomas May 27, at PM. May 27, at PM. Tommy Thomas May 28, at AM. May 28, at AM. Anonymous August 6, at AM.

Prior to Warren Hospital being built, was there a small indoor mall located there? I remember going to a mall in that area not the Phillipsburg Mall but one that I thought was accessed by making a right off Memorial Pkwy onto Roseberry St.

I'm not thinking about the Lehigh Valley Mall either This was many, many years ago I think my oldest, now 17, had been a baby. I tried google but no luck so far. Hoping someone who has lived in the area for a long time might know what I'm talking about I know it wasn't Hillcrest which is right along Memorial Pkwy, this was a good couple of blocks down Roseberry The HSC has primarily been converted to medical offices, but a few stores remain.

A new Thai restaurant opened up recently and the bank is still a bank, but no longer PNB, obviously. HillCrest had a "Woolworth's" also.

The old ones with the lunch counter. I used to love going in there when I was a child, around the early 80's. Yes, they did. I forgot about Woolworths, to be honest. It was next to Fashion Bug, across from Thrift Drug in the "interior" portion of the mall. Remember the offset concrete planters along that stretch? In high school, we used to race our cars through there late night. It was a pretty demanding slalom course, especially since we were rarely sober when we did it.

There was also a Thom McAn shoe store back in there. That's where I used to get my Land Rover square toe work boots.

They were so much cooler than the lame round toe Timberlands, lol. I wish I could still get them, to be honest There was also a Mays clothes store for men and kids,and a kids shoe store Hillcrest bootery I think it was called Loved Woolworths in Elizabeth, growing up. Grandpa used to take us on the weekends.

Fun times. I lived in Projects on Roseberry Street for 40 years. Now in my late 60s here in Hackettstown. There never was any shopping complexes other than the Hillcrest Plaza that I know of. The only commercial properties on Roseberry south of 22 at that time were and maybe the Roseberry Liquor Store. To the north, there wasn't anything but residential and medical office uses until you got to the Brass Rail at the corner of Belvidere Road. Sorry, you must be "misremembering" and I can't think of anything else in that corridor that you might be confusing it with.

Twilight Zone marathon I googled Palmer Park Mall and that might be the one I am remembering - but I really thought it was in Phillipsburg off Roseberry St : Thanks for helping me get my memories straight :. Got a kick out of seeing the term "misremember," reminded me of Roger Clemens in front of congress responding to things Andy Pettitte said.

Went to P'burg Mall recently the indoor one where you can take a walk on a bad weather day and saw the Waldenbooks store wasn't there any more. The Palmer Park Mall is over the bridge in Wilson as mentioned previously. That's what I find charming about the area. As for the Hillcrest Plaza, don't forget the Unemployment Office used to be there. Unfortunately, I had to make several trips there at times when I could not afford to shop in the Hillcrest stores!

Walden books has been gone for at least a decade. There was a Borders there later, but that closed 2 or 3 years ago as well. I may have been at the Borders, thinking it was Walden books, that's what being old, senile, and preoccupied will do.
