Review
And the mall is still there! A decent PR piece for the Hillsdale Shopping Center, which is still in operation along El Camino Real in San Mateo, California. MAcy's & Sears are still there, but otherwise, many of the stores & other features of the mall are long-gone, though I'll have to look carefully next time I'm there for the animal sculptures featured in the footage.
