Fields, and also featured Pantry Pride. The mall had a 2-screen Cinema with 350 seats per screen, which expanded over time. The theater was purchased by USA Cinemas in 1987, then by Loews in 1988. Eventually Pantry Pride closed and Price Chopper leased the space. JM Fields closed, and was replaced by Bradlees. In the early 1990's Media Play went in where the Boston Store was. Media Play sold books, music, movies, electronics, toys, snacks, some clothing, and video games. This diverse centralized product mix competed with many stores in the mall. Eventually Price Chopper closed, which was divided into smaller spaces, that Fay's Drugs and the Paper Cutter moved into. Fay's later became Eckerd, then left due to competition from the CVS in the mall. After this Paper Cutter closed, and Present Co. closed. Other tenants followed, as they vacated what became a dead spot in the mall. This pattern continued in different parts of the mall which was vacating. Montgomery Ward closed in 1996. By 1999, only the Cinema, Media Play, Marshalls, Gallery 44 and Rex remained. After the Cinema, Rex and Gallery 44 closed, the mall was demolished around Media Play and Marshalls while they remained opened. The photo is one I took in 1998 of the section of the mall that remained open. By 1999 the hallway past the Media Play sign was demolished and boarded up from the inside. The site is now a successful strip-mall called Mohawk Commons, with several big-box stores, such as Target, Lowes.  Media Coverage Few times in the newspaper including me, when i was 5 was in the paper for a childrens fair there.  Future Plans Was demolished in phases completely by 2003, site has since been reconstructed into a strip mall.  Stories We use to smoke pot behind it Wed, Jun 20th, 2007 posted by MONSTER_OF_ROCK Add your own story  Photo Galleries deadmalls.com 1 Mon, Mar 30th, 1998 posted by Gremm_Paltakin 25 pictures deadmalls.com 2 Mon, Mar 30th, 1998 posted by Gremm_Paltakin 25 pictures During Decline ~ 1998 Fri, May 1st, 1998 posted by Gremm_Paltakin 10 pictures Historical Photos Sat, Oct 18th, 2008 posted by Gremm_Paltakin 4 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links March 1, 1999 37 minute video walkthrough  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
