Fashion Island!!!!!!!!!! I took ice skating lessons there when I was a little girl, and my parents wouldn't let me go play in The Gold Rush (the dank little video arcade that was there in the 80s, before they took out four stores to put in Tilt).

Mostly the rest of the time we'd just wander through the empty part and remark upon how empty it was.

I heard they've turned it into some big-box retailer now. Hmph.
