The vacant stores give it a creepy feeling, however some stores still have original 'everything' still in them. There is a movie theater that is pretty cool to see and there is no tagging anywhere to be found. There are lots of pretty colors and the architecture is quite attractive.  Security Measures fences barbed wire part-time guard locked gates welded doors wooden boarding  Historical Dates Built: 1970 Closed: 2005  Required Equipment flashlight Extra batteries for flashlight... some of the places are really dark.  Recommended Equipment  History This mall was built in 1970 and did fairly well. It was anchored by a Dillard's, Wards, and Wilson's (later Service Merchandise). The Parks at Arlington Mall was built on the other side of town around 1988. Afterwards, Forum 303 fell into decline. In 1998, the Forum mall was converted into Festival Marketplace, an indoor flea-market/bazaar type of venue. That flopped as well, as Traders' Village, a nationally (and possibly internationally) reknowned flea market was only a couple miles away. What kept the mall limping for a few more years was actually the Dillard's--which converted to a "clearance center" around the same time. The Dillard's Clearance Center relocated to nearby Six Flags Mall and things went downhill for Festival from there. Last summer, Forum 303/Festival Marketplace Mall abruptly shut its doors. Apparently the air conditioning system broke and the owners felt that the mall isn't worth putting more money into. So instead of fixing the AC, they just told tenants to pack up and get out!  Media Coverage  Future Plans As of 4/11/07 channel 5 news reported the mall will soon be demolished to make way for office buildings.  Stories My memories of 303 Sat, Dec 23rd, 2006 posted by Edmond_Dantes Our trip to the Festival Sat, Dec 23rd, 2006 posted by Happiedaze Add your own story  Photo Galleries Photos by Happiedaze Sat, Dec 23rd, 2006 posted by Happiedaze 25 pictures More photos by Happiedaze Sat, Dec 23rd, 2006 posted by Happiedaze 14 pictures Getting ready to say goodbye...
