Have you heard of IRS lil game in this, look up “opportunity zones” brought to you by the boys and girls of the IRS. Makes you think about a lot of the open spaces around your big city…
@Jacob Naimi Yup totally serious. Last show I bought tickets were at dillards and it was for the Scorpions. Also did the same for many mesa amphitheater shows as well.
So the bottom line here is the area will look like e everything else with business buildings, homes and parking lots 😐. Sad Arizona never preserves the history of any of its areas.
I’m all for it the mall is just sitting there doing nothing. To be honest people don’t really care about the history of the place they just want a place to shop and live and hang out
Damn man I totally agree! Used to go there all the time. 36 now. Moved to north Dakota born and raised in Arizona. Arizona is a joke anymore. So much noise, traffic, people everywhere. They just keep building and building and building! No nature anymore. Humans are insane
I went to school in the area and use to go fiesta mall and buy things with babysitting money. Definitely sad as now it’s abandoned. I think it would have been cool if it was converted to collage MCC should swap property and open their campus there would be so neat
I would bet the taxpayers in Mesa are going to get stuck funding part of this project. So why can't you get into the details mayor? Sounds like you may be trying to hide some shady dealings.
The Mayor is probably the only person within the city that is aware Fiesta Mall is closed. I talked to a Director 3 years ago that had never heard of Whitfill Nursery that closed on McKellips and Gilbert road that had been there since 1967......
@@scaringthecheese sadly ? I’m excited I’m done with the ugly urban sprawl if you’ve never been in a walkable area you’re missing out Arizona needs more walkable spaces
@@scaringthecheese thank you I appreciate that. People say it gets easier with time well it doesn't I miss him still, he was such an amazing loving caring brother, my only brother. I hate seeing that place.
I used to love going to Fiesta Mall!
Great place to shop and socialize.
I have shoes and shirt I bought from there.
I wish people still visited malls.
Cool story
More apartments that no one can afford to live in!! What happened to the college that was going in?

@@frankarenas300 I have not! I live 5 minutes from there and like they are building those luxury apartments all around. 3k for a one bed.. no thanks.
I agree, something that would have actually been useful instead of posh appartments that will crowd the city
Used to line up for Compton terrace concert tickets back in the 80's and early 90's at that mall.

Wow I remember this place was active when I was growing up.. I moved out of AZ a while ago but crazy to see

Greed... Born and raised here but looking for another state now. It's so sad to see this once great state turning into another Cali...

So what would you suggest we do with that empty lot?
Use the lot for parking.
LOVED LOVED LOVED that mall.. Heavy sigh...
More tacky development. We're getting one on our corner, too.. Poor AZ..
Yep all I see in the planned map is new rent money waiting to be made
Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall is awesome, if we could have a nice mall that would be nice.
Bring back fiesta mall 😢
Oh, we don't need more houses, please stop building houses here, just replace the old mall with a newer and better mall.
A better mall thugs can run down.
@@melroze waht thugs 😭

Literally what can they be hiding everything you need to know is public it’s in limbo figuring out what they want to do with the place
Well is Was not 3 years it was 5 years cuz It closed Jan 2018 and was supposed to be campus 60 but it never was.
Sounds like a good plan for an “Opportunity zone” it will be good money for those on top…”affordable housing” suurrrrreeee
lol.. Right? More developer/investor greed..
I loved Fiesta Mall...I forgot all about it....I used to do hair there at Diamonds.
It's gone. 😢
That’s terrible news 😂😂😂😂 great more housing just what we need in this boring state
no we don't need more californians thanks
i still think they should make it into a huge "blues brothers" ride.
Amazon killing it🔥
Online retail has been doing in the brick and mortar retailers for well over a decade now.
@kramalerav8359 yeah I noticevother clothing retailers I used to shop at in Atlanta on Amazon 🤔

We want a new mall!!! Not new houses!!!!
Hello how are you doing today?
Mesa does not deserve a new mall. They let things fail by corruption.look at Riverview?
15 minute city coming soon
Sadly.. I see this on every corner now.
@@scaringthecheese sadly ? I’m excited I’m done with the ugly urban sprawl if you’ve never been in a walkable area you’re missing out Arizona needs more walkable spaces
@@Jayjoe1006 Good on you. You feel what you feel and I'll feel nostalgic..
Guess born and raised here I'm acclimated so it's all walkable to me.
@@scaringthecheese But it isn’t walkable tho that’s the thing sidewalks doesn’t necessarily make something walkable
FM has run its course, and so has the city of Mesa
Too bad the Coyotes didn't get the property for a hockey arena.
My brother was murdered in that stupid mall. I'm glad they are tearing it down.
Ugh.. I'm sorry to hear that. When did that happen?
@ScaringTheCheese it happened March 31, 2008 the worst day of my life.
@@speeni6359 I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@scaringthecheese thank you I appreciate that. People say it gets easier with time well it doesn't I miss him still, he was such an amazing loving caring brother, my only brother. I hate seeing that place.
@@speeni6359 I'm heartbroken for you. Hopefully you don't have to drive by it or see it very often.
New plans to bring drugs and crime to area.
Averal Lavigne performed here at one point
I’m not very confident for anything to happen really, nothing has happened in a month
build a trade school campus
Perfect spot for some low income housing.
They won't do that.. It's all about greed.
Vans skate shop smelling like sex wax and the Gevalia coffee shop. Ah the good ol days.
Turn it into housing!! Section 8 and senior housing!!
Good luck with that. Developers and investors only interested in more GREED..
Where do they plan to get the WATER for it?!?!
I’m not going to a Mexican mall
You live in a Mexican state now buddy lol we took over
