I work at the movie theater. In the mid 80’s best nachos at casa Escobar . I still live two miles from the Eagle rock plaza . Love your video. I will always tell my kids nothing ever happens in Eagle Rock.
Maaaaaaan! This was my mall! I used to live in Eagle Rock in the 90's and 2000's. LOTS of great memories here. A lot of my time was spent at this mall, specifically at The Wherehouse, Bob's and the theater (until they all closed). My sister used to work at Contempo. Little by little this mall was dying. Now, the second you walk into it, you're welcomed to the stench of fish. It's crazy to see what happened to this once great mall. Thank you for making this video and telling the history of this mall. You just got yourself a new subscriber!
I lived and grew up in Burbank in the 1970’s and 1980’s. My mom preferred Eagle Rock Plaza over the Glendale Galleria, as it was so much smaller and easier to walk than the GG. I distinctly remember there was a Jolly Roger’s restaurant, then Casa Escobar moved into the spot. Our family loved Casa Escobar for lunch while shopping. The mall was always busy in those days, by the late 80’s, it was pretty much forgotten over the huge and massive GG. It became such a sad ghost town.
This video brought back some memories of growing up in Eagle Rock. I remember eating at Bob's on the lower level corner and mom would tell me to rub his belly for good luck. Ward also had an automotive center across the street.
Visited this mall many times during my teen years in the 80s and early 90’s. Saw many movies at the theatre and used to eat pizza at cable car pizza located at the bottom of the escalators. Sad to see another mall going extinct.
I worked as a concierge there in 2004-2005 when Westfield owned the mall. It was pretty dead then and not a lot of foot traffic during the week day. Not a lot of national chains but mom and pop places that seemed to be struggling. Jollibee, seafood City and Chuck E Cheese came in after I left. It was fun to see the Glee episode with Artie that was filmed there. The also another Glee video the Rachel where they sang "Barbra Streisand." Keep your videos coming. Have you done one on Buenaventura Plaza/Pacificview Mall in Ventura?
Growing up in S Glendale in the 80s, the ER plaza was closer to me than the Galleria, so me and my friends would often hang here. Wasn’t as good as the Galleria, but still had the essentials. Saw all the movies here. There was a Vans store here in the 80s too, always got my shoes there. I remember when the Cabbage Patch kids craze was on, my mom stood in line at the Wards here to get one for my sister. Across the street was Ernie Jr taco house, best Mexican food.

Did you ever go to El Riviera Club off of Colorado and Figueroa? It's where the CVS is now.

Whoa. Flashback. I used to go to that mall all the time. I remember watching Star Wars there. Huge line! Those were fun days. ❤
thanks for sharing your memories

I'm Scottish, i was in this mall in 1980. There was no such thing as malls where i came from at that time. Thought that place was superb….still do.
IN 1980 IT WAS RUN DOWN / GLENDALE MALL WAS THE PLACE TO GO
I saw enemy mine in the mall theater in 86 or 87
Love that movie!
I remember I saw a movie there as a kid in the late 90s as a kid
I enjoy your Videos! Can you do Stonewood Center, Beverly Center and Broadway Plaza in DTLA? Those were the malls I would frequent as a Kid😂😂😂
Of course! Stonewood Center and the Beverly Center are coming soon!
Last I was there, this mall was actually doing okay.
Anyone know or speculate the future of this mall?
I'm near that mall
I NEVER knew about this Montgomery Ward’s store here at this mall because I was NOT born when that store closed.
Sold shoes @MayCo circa early 80s😅
My mom grew up with Sonja and dolly My mom was fortunate not to have been with them at the mall that day.... it could have been 3 4:17
