Here are some photos I took last month at the ACC / Highland Mall campus. I had a few things running through my mind while visiting:
* The campus is gorgeous, and mall rats like me can take pride in knowing ACC purchased the former stomping grounds of my youth and transformed it into something special.
* I remember pretty much where everything was from the old mall, from the Food Court, Dillard's and old Joske's building, Goldmine and Luby's, etc., and the blueprint of the new digs has some of the same "paths" as the old mall. I was able to easily tell where I was standing in relation to the older stores (Tie Shop, Zales, Hastings, Toy Box, etc.). Of course the building 4000 is still intact which used to house the Gap, Hallmark Store, Visible Changes, Foley's / Macy's, etc.
* Construction the parking lot seems to be wrapping up.
Anyway, here you are ...
