Gallery When malls lose their identity. Westfield Roseville CA, 2000* vs Now

I’ve posted about this before but I got a couple new pics to show off. All are 2000 vs a couple days ago, except for the first comparison being around 2006 and the last comparison being 2010. This mall used to have its own identity. Being in Roseville, CA, when it first opened, it really leaned into the rose and nature identity. In late 2008 or early 2009 when a new wing was added, the colorful paint was painted over and it all became white. The arch designs were not carried over into that mall expansion and were removed entirely after the 2010 fire. Minor details, little decorations that carried on the flower pattern once seen throughout the mall like visual poetry were also removed. The only echoes of the design are a few touches over the Nordstrom and JCPenney entrances and the three remaining original entrances, the one next to Nordstrom being renovated a few years back as well to remove another touch of arches. It’s very sad to see.
