Tri-City Mall opened in 1968 as an enclosed centre with Diamond's and JCPenney at its ends. Fiesta Mall opened a few miles west in 1979 and pulled the anchors out one at a time, Diamond's in 1984 and JCPenney in 1998. Tri-City came down in 1999 and was replaced by a strip centre, and Fiesta Mall went the same way a generation later.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
