Eastland Mall in North Versailles (Pittsburgh area), PA, circa 1963, its first holiday season. Gimbels closed along with the rest of the chain in 1986, and the mall was eventually torn down some twenty years later. Duquesne Light Company photo.

Great shot. This was eventually roofed in to become the interior of the mall. And that Penneys was a big deal when it was built. It was one of the new "super" Penneys. When this store opened, the downtown McKeesport and Braddock Penneys closed.

Help a girl out here....the drive-in theater is where the Walmart is now, right?
