I wondered all my life about the ski lift type ride I saw as a small child. Thanks for confirming it as the Fantasia ski lift attraction. It was literally a storefront with ski lift benches rotating past the opening. Weird and cool set up, I thought I imagined it. Early 80's with my grandparents we're good times and good memories. Thank you for your meticulous research and presentation, Andy L.

I remember going to old town mall several times as a child with my parents. It must've been right after the mall had opened up for business, and I remember it being styled after the old wild West and having lots of entertainment and being more like an amusement park

Surprising much fewer closures happened in such a struggling place! BTW, I actually counted one more than revealed!

I remember when this mall opened. It was an interesting idea, but it was too close to Del Amo.

How about the Lakeside Mall in Michigan?

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that one. Look for it in the future on my other channel: Eric C Productions

The original developer must have been influenced by Disneyland's Main Street but without the money, creativity & conceptual sophistication of Walt Disney. Someone who visited Old Towne in the early 1970s told me she graded it as very weak & uninspiring. Millions of $$ are lost each generation by people who have more ambition than good sense.
