Does anyone remember Lakehurst near SFGAm? I'm working on a site about it and I need some photos. If you have any, please email them to me. Anyway, I made a video of the demolition. I'll have it up soon.

They tore it down. Carson's stayed open a little longer, though. The last time I was there, only about 10% of the stores were open, and they even had a Santa Claus (although it was completely empty).

I Don't. I remember those hanging net light thingys and going into carsons after the rest of the mall closed. But now it's gone. And it is being replaced by "Fountain Square Waukegan"

But no, sorry, i have not photos.

When I took photos of demolition, those net lights were gone. My mom worked at the Wieboldt's Dept. Store there and said she doesn't remember them. Were they there just during demo? Or long time ago?

It's not done yet, but here's the Lakehurst site I made so far...
http://geocities.com/lakehurst_mall/index.html

Tell me what you think so far.


If you want to see my video, email me.

John.

I replied to your private message. If you want pics of demolition, let me know. That is all that I have.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

They were there a long time ago, when the whole mall was open. they were already gone when just carsons was open. They were like between the first and second floor, they were like square-foot squares of lights and they hung down from the ceiling. I just remember seeing that when I was little.

Hey Jon.

Went to the Lakehurst theatre tonight and noticed that Fun Harbour right behind the bowling alley has new owners and they are in the process of opening the FEC up again.

Good news for the kiddies and adults who act like kids (like me). :lol:

Is that the mini-golf thing behind Brunswick Zone? I never knew it was closed. Does the theatre look like the 70's inside, Like the mall did?

Yeah, it's been closed for about 4 years.

Oh, and the first major tenant that has signed on for Fountain Square is a Walmart Supercenter (the 24 hour ones with grocery store , etc.).

They are also constructing a Starbucks over where Pier One Imports used to be.

I am suprised they havent got any structures built where the mall was. You can now drive down that new center road.

They could've been tearing down the old Tires Plus (JCPenney auto) since they opened a new one down the road.

I have'nt been down there since about June, has anything changed since then?

I've also finally got my video up:

Yeah...anyway back on topic. I know a lot of new things have signed on for fountain square. The McDonalds, which was the construction by the theatre I mentioned, is opening soon. And construction has also started on a wal-mart. If you drive by you'll see a lot has changed. I'm just curious where to do you live jon that you know so much about lakehurst? Because I live right near there.
