Re: Westfield Palm Desert

Nordstrom Wonder if the economy has stalled the movement to build the site. Interesting that they would select the site on the "back", versus the site facing 111. You'd think they'd want to be seen better from the highway. Nordstrom did in fact recently scale back some of their short-term...

Re: Kids R Us

The Riverside Kids R Us was located at 10481 Magnolia Ave., just west of Tyler Street (and the Galleria at Tyler). It took up about 1/3 of the space within a former Gemco (the rest being a Lucky's supermarket, post-Gemco). As part of the remodel for KRU, it contained the long, oval window that Dean ...

Re: Gottschalks

The store in Sacramento is now closed (Sunday was the last day for merchandise sales). Same here in Riverside. Sunday was the final "merchandise" day with this past Monday & Tuesday being the last days for display/fixture sales. You can read (and see a few photos) of the last day at R...

Re: the BROADWAY

... That Jo-Ann/Macys Home in your pictures was a Broadway store prior. ... The Macys in Cerritos used to be a Broadway. The New Nordstroms was the site of an old Robinsons (later Robinsons-May). Thanks for the clarification on the Flickr images. I was hoping folks here would chime in with addition...

Re: the BROADWAY

Found the following on the Broadway. Gotta' love the old graphics! ... Sites became: Riverside--Macy*s (correct?) Carson--IKEA. Awesome outdoor escalator/stairs added ... Yes, the Riverside store became Macy's in 1996, but is now vacant following the 2006 merger with Federated, which moved the Macy...

Re: Gottschalks

I was at the Riverside store a month or so ago. Its still an amazingly large store. I don't see how Forever 21 will be able to fill up 3 floors and a basement level. Indeed, it is a large store (@204,000 sq. ft.: 3 floors = 140,000 + 64,000 sq. ft. basement). The latest word is that Forever 21 will...

Re: Gottschalks

I'm still shocked that Macy's didn't keep both locations at the Tyler Mall during the Robinson's-May acquisition, much like the Promenade at Temecula.. I used to love going into the old Broadway, although it was looking rather ran down before Macy's moved into the May Co building... but I didn't th...

Re: Gottschalks

This is a funny commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPltz2fu4GA&feature=related Is the building shown an old Broadway? Looks similar to the Puente Hills and Carson CA former Broadway locations. It's the former Weinstock's (sister store of The Broadway) at Fresno's Fashion Fair mall. Desi...
