this mall is now home to a big box retiale center and was torn down in 1997/1998
the mall opend in 1977 its ancores were Pergament Alexander's and Jamesway the mall fetured a strip of stores right next to it witch had Waldbaums and the mall had a franks nursery right out side of it Alexander's closed in 1986 i think it might have been latter on when teh chain went out in 1992 Jamesway clsoed in 1995 it was the only jamesway in westchster county and Pergament closed in 1996 due to the face that the mall would be torn down waldbaums soon clsoed down in 1997
the sight is now called the Courtland town center and its houses many stores its anley a big box center i really avoied going to big box centers that have home depot and wal mart

these pics are all form SiteRide i wish they had more fo the mall before it was turned into what it is now but at leat they had something
Damn, that brings back memories. I was one of the Managers of that Jamesway when it opened and for 2 years after. That was a rough market. I'd be interested to hear from anyone else that worked there. One of the top locations for internal theft :(

when did that jamesway open bttw and were is it in that picture can i cant tell but anyways im glad to see that someone else remebers this mall its sad to see how sucky it looks now
sad to think that this whole place is gone i dont know to much about it i remember seeing the mall around late 1996 and evreything was shuttered but still there i remeber then tearing it down in mid to late 1997 i do remember looking though one of the mall entrances and seeing the jamesway entrace closed off but the neon sign still was lit up inside and there was probley like only one store still open
The Jamesway opened 4/25/86. That was the combination I set to the door lock going in to the offices. That store never was right. The 2 1/2 years I was there was the darkest period of my life. I worked like a dog 70 to 80 hours a week, along with a lot of other people. Years later, when Jamesway went in the dumper, we all found out that "they" stole everyone's retirement. Nobody got anything. The retirement fund was all gone. Funny how none of the Executives went to jail after screwing thousands of people out of millions of dollars. The Loss Prevention people would risk their lives in stores in "bad neighborhoods" by stopping shoplifters that stole a pair of socks to put people in jail for $1.99, and the big cheeses took millions and walked away. Bitter? You bet.
