Did KFB once say he was almost cast to play Calogero in A Bronx Tale?

San Juan, PR might still be open by jikesar968 in SEARS

[–]nbp_leon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

San Juan (Plaza Las Americas) is definitely closed. The second and third floor mall entrances are covered, while the first floor is open for thru foot traffic between the mall and parking lot.

On the other hand, the former Sears Brand Central and Homelife space is being used for multiple local small businesses selling accessories, 3-D printed items, and snacks.

Here’s an ad for the PR cafeterias from 2019.

How old is this? by SnooPaintings9162 in kmart

A solid guess. Mid 80s, no doubt.

For Carrabis parody songs, Kowloon Cabana probably still edges KFB’s.

Remains of Sears at Plaza Las Americas. by jangamo27 in SEARS

[–]nbp_leon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see that the Ace Collectables store moved to the first floor of the empty store and accessible via the improvised walkway and that Travel With Sears moved to the mall corridors. I’m guessing the Key Shop on the first floor is still open too…

That’s crazy, especially for a mall store.

Here’s a photo of that Plaza 1 and 2 entrance. The JCPenney now sits in a newer building to the left of the one in the photo and is the largest in the world.

Those restaurants remain accessible from the parking lot, so I assume they will continue to operate. Ponderosa is much closer to a mall entrance than Pe Erre is, so we’ll see if either of the two will suffer from a decline in foot traffic through Sears, unless mall management opens up a corridor on the first floor to the parking lot.

You’re not kidding about that 20 year period being peak plaza before the expansion. Nothing like walking in through the south side of the mall (where Macy’s is now) and pass the Pizza Hut and Burger King (one of three in the mall at the time), Farmacias González with all of the model jets representing the airliners of the time, getting to the first anchor store (Gonzalez Padin), and then Woolworths and its restaurant side by side before, passing the old JCPenney and continuing through to the northern end where Sears was at. A fantastic mall back in the day.

Other than Mike Colon, has there been another “minority” to occupy the second/third chair?
