Greg Morton’s Commentary:
User submitted Jul 2007JCPenney at Greengate had an auto center (later to become a Firestone, so did the one at the Monroeville Mall), catalog desk, hair salon, optical, clothes, gift registry, furniture, custom decorating, and the Big and Tall under two roofs. My mom told me they had the building's biggest tenant, and there were thirty to forty stairs on the lower level just to get to the upper level (and vice versa). Or, you can drive to the other side, and access the elevator in it by using an entrance to the rest of the mall. She remembers getting haircuts inside the Penneys store before the move to Westmoreland Mall (then anchored by Sears [previously at Davis Center in the Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, seat's Downtown Business District], Sears Auto Center [previously inside the Aamco Transmission building behind Davis Center], The Bon-Ton [the space previously Troutmann's
, which was previously in Downtown], and Kaufmann's [neve previously in Greensburg, the space later to be replaced by Macy's]) in 1994. Penneys moved, so did Chick-fil-A, Finish Line, among others.
My mom and Aunt Nancy remember when they camped the night for Bruce Springsteen tickets at the indoor mall. Everyone camped in the area that ran from Penneys to Horne's (Greengate Centre: from Wal-Mart to Panera Bread).
If you drive past Greengate Centre on Route 30, whether westbound or eastbound, you can imprint the mall. Horne's stood at the Panera Bread building, and Montgomery Ward had been at the parking lot of Jo Ann's Fabrics. Penneys was in the Wal-Mart parking lot and at the Wal-Mart store.
Roger DeMarco’s Commentary:
User submitted Nov 2006OK, so it's currently occupied and technically does not count as a dead mall at the moment. However it's probably the most famous dead mall in american history and deserves and honorable mention, as weirdos like me are likely to come looking for it. People make pilgrimages to this location and scout out the scenes from the movie. You should have some info on it, a short paragraph at least, and maybe a few links.
Here are the links I'd suggest:
THanks and keep up the good work...
