Valle Vista Mall is Dead

Long before COVID came along people were moving out of  Valley Vista Mall. When I spoke to locals about stores leaving or their desire to more their stores in the mall, they all stated the same thing. "It's too expensive." After the first year of the pandemic, most of the stores re-opened. However, 2 years later, stores are leaving one by one. The mall wasn't anything great before and now it's even a shell of its former self. 

Sears and Dillards are gone leaving only J.C. Penny left as an anchor store. At this point, I really don't see anything driving traffic to Valle Vista Mall. La Plaza, The Outlets and Sunrise have everything you probably want and need. 

Here are a few select shots of how empty the mall currently is. This pictures were taken around 6 PM. So, there is no reason for the mall to be so empty. 








Rockin Cue
The Rockin Cue is new. Go check it out if you're into pool. It looks nice. I haven't been inside.

Bass Pro Shop in Harlingen

 


A very nice place to visit even if you aren't buying anything. The restaurant, bowling alley, and the snack bar have been closed since the pandemic started. They usually have season decorations and characters for kids. The bathrooms are usually very clean and the workers are friendly. The only exception is the people at the travel booth, but I think it's necessary to be pushy if they are ever going to make some money. I've had a few reps tell me in the past that it's not a time share thing, but it is.

There are sprinklers to the right that are open for kids to run through at times. I'm not sure why they weren't open now. 



Eating Area.
















Harlingen boys club is right across the street. There are multiple basketball courts that are new. More Harlingen basketball courts are needed in other parts of the city. These were recently made and there is a small skate park on the other side of the building. 


This is one of the 2 outdoor swimming pools that I am aware of that is open to the public. 





Another water park across the street.
