    This was "THE" mall we would mainly go to when I was a kid. The plants/how the mall was setup was always really cool to me, and they had everything there. Was really weird to see you guys walk by areas I remember lol. It's like "hey that's where I got the Pokemon Board game when I was 10" and "HEY THAT'S THE DISNEY STORE!" So many memories. Haven't been there since at least the mid 2000s

    Used to visit the Arcade in the early 80's and play Missile Command for hours on a quarter. I'm sure it costed me thousands to get as good as I was. I don't live in the area anymore, but it was a great mall back in the day.

    I already had a car by the time this place closed; it's amazing it's in such bad condition now. A lack of maintenance in the mall's final years open and vandalism has really taken its toll.

    I grew up in the 90’s and 2000’s going to Jamestown Mall in North County. It was _the_ spot to be on a Friday or Saturday night. We would just hang out at the mall or would go to the Jamestown 14 theatre to see movies and play arcade games. This was back in the day that you had to call for movie times or look in the paper. Such great memories. It’s a shame that North County went to shit and the people there ran it into the ground.

      This mall stopped being the place to go in 1990.. I went there in the 70's and 80's.. it was the place to be there then.. by 1990 thugs were over taking the mall and it wasn't safe and it started a rapid decline.

    All the vandalism and decay makes this place look like it was abandoned in the era of those first generation airbags that would break your nose, but it was abandoned when almost all new cars had at least 6 airbags and sophisticated sensors that could inflate the airbags at precisely the correct force so they would save your life but still not hurt you.

    I briefly worked security there right before it closed to the public.
    It was in bad shape, even when it was open to the public.
    I remember seeing in one of the stores that someone was going to start a low-power TV station, there.
    That would have not ended well.
