Does anyone remember the name of the underground arcade at MetroCenter,? This article currently makes not mention of this unusual arcade at the mall.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.88.76.18 (talk • contribs) 19:07, 28 June 2007

I remember it from when I was a kid, it was great, had a carosel and everything. Metrocenter is dead and buried now. They took out the fountains, all the stores left, and really their just isn't anything there. The arcade hardly exists. I figured Castles n Coasters would keep the mall alive, but even that place has died out. Metro was a great mall all the way up until the new ownership in 2004...they killed it. (suprsingly the ring road flourishes though...go fig) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.190.251.65 (talk) 05:16, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am interested in the process that led to the decline of this mall. I have added to the history section using information that I found on the Internet but because I do not live in the Phoenix area it is hard for me to find original sources. In this Youtube discussion an armored car robbery and a person jumping onto the ice rink are mentioned (http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=u6xFA5uE-XE&fromurl=/watch%3Fv%3Du6xFA5uE-XE). These sounds notable to me. Does somebody have access to newspaper archives from that time? JeremiahJohnson (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:23, 2 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Store name

The article talks about Rhodes Brothers being one of the original anchor stores; however, that name was never used on the building itself. The only moniker that ever appeared during the Rhodes Brothers 'era' was just plain "Rhodes."

Also, the exterior of that store was originally covered in dark brown/chocolate colored tile. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 23:41, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
