    Borin in Ventura in 1999 and I would go to the Esplanade a lot when I was little, mainly for B.J.'s and the now defunct Borders. I went a long time without knowing it used to be a shopping mall.

    The current “Esplanade Shopping Center” is the perfect example of why I hate minimalism. Every modern store/restaurant/mall now just looks like another corporate building.

    As a kid my parents wouldn't let us go to the Esplanade, because if the crime reports, especially at the movies.

    The fact that we use to dress up for the clubs is insane to me. Seems like such a relic of the past now

    • @RelicsofRetail
      @RelicsofRetail 6 місяців тому

      It was definitely a different era. We followed the club promo mantra “dress to impress.” And many clubs wouldn’t let you in unless you had a collared shirt and dress shoes.

      If they did like a 90s retro pop-up, that would be cool! Or a Kmart museum. But I’m not holding my breath 😂 I just found out there’s only 2 left in the U.S.

    Thanks for uploading this dawg, I was born in the late 2000’s and I’ve always wondered about the malls in Oxnard, never knew the Esplanade was a huge mall now it’s a passing site before the Collection

    Not true! The Neshaminy Mall, in Neshaminy, Pa, was the largest and Air Conditioned enclosed Mall in America, opened in 1967, and still alive and well! Check your history dude.

    I left Oxnard in 1984 to join the military and I was always amazed to see the changes in the city when I returned for a visit. The Esplanade Mall was the biggest and most surprising change to me. Thank you for sharing this story!

    Fate is fickle- who would have guessed that the small outdated Centerpoint Mall would still be in operation while the newer more modern Esplande gave way to history.

    I remember when air brushing first got big it was at the Esplanade and there was a store that sold Cross Colors...Sanio Suprise was my little cousin's favorite store. The movie theatre was cool too. Last movie I saw there was The Hand That Rocks The Craddle.
