Home Depot and Wal-mart and more stores 2 of them getting built now,i went to the wal-mart there nice inside ,too nice i accidently went into the ladies room in the back i felt soo embarassed. :(

they had a Cvs when the 2 main anchor stores closed so i guess they coudlnt survived by themselves with mainly small stores :(

i coudlnt believe ocean st job lot and chicopee savings bank  was still open even after the demise of the fairfield mall (theyre in front of the mall in one building) good thing!

Eastern Hills Mall in Amherst Mall is the closest mall to us. Only about 7 miles away, maybe less. Built in 1971 with a major renovation in the mid-late 80's and another going on right now. The 4 Main anchors are:

Sears- Same exterior from 1971, but the interior has been heavily renovated over the years. However, very recently, I noticed some paint scraped away on the side of the escalator revealing some fake wood trim underneath. Niice.

JCPenney- Same exterior from 1971, but the facades were touched up in the early 90's. Interior was renovated last in the early-mid 80's, I'm gonna guess. Carpet is original. Probably the most dated store of the anchors.

Kaufmann's- A regional chain owned by May's. Formerly Hengerer's (Local chain) then Sibley's (Regional). Became Kauffman's in the late 80's. Same exterior from 1971, insides from the early 80's (Probably last remodeled when Sibley's took over in 1982-83). Wood floor upstairs is orginal. Also quite a dated store, it even rivals Penney's in some places!!

The Bon-Ton- Formerly AM&A's (Local chain) untill 1995. Exterior is mostly orginal with, like Penney's, facades updated some time in the early 90's. Interior was redone sometime in the 80's.

Other past anchors were Jenn's (Regional chain) which closed in 2001 and was a Burlington Coat factory until 2003. Now Dave and Buster's. When I peeked through the doors, they were in the process of ripping out the escalator and closing off the second floor. The other was Waccamaw Home Decor (More info on this store on my Waccamaw page), which was a very early 90's store and was never very sucessful, as with the whole chain. The store closed in 1998 and Waccamaw was out by 2000. Currently an RV dealer is in it's place, using the same Waccamaw interior. A sad store for it's age.

I took a bunch of Interior Pics, they're out being developed, including Pics of all the anchors except Jenn's. Luckilly, I was able to dodge most store employees.  I did get caught in Sears and got a weird stare. So I blurted out very loud as I went down the escalator, "Mom, 20 years from now you gotta know what this place looked like 20 years ago!!" Hopefully that thwarted her suspicion. I have yet to get exterior pics (We usually go to the mall at nite) but I will when I can.

PS Caldor1999 I know what it's like not to have a digital camera. My camera just broke (for no reason) so I had to complete my photos using a one-time use. From now on I think I'll just use my sister's digital.
