The Mall Today
In early 2000 the mall went through a dynamic change including new entrances, signage and full interior demolition, and renovation. Although the original layout of the mall did not change, a food court was added. The theaters have been expanded to 12 screens, and are operated by AMC. Outside the mall proper, the parking lot features two stores (Sears Automotive and Pier One Imports) and two restaurants (Olive Garden and Taco Bell); the stores are original, but both restaurants are new (the Olive Garden having been built on the former site of a Goodyear repair shop, which has since moved into the adjacent Dartmouth Towne Center).

Famous quotes containing the words mall and/or today:
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
“Give me insight into today and you may have the antique and future worlds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
