Quincy Fair Mall - now

In November 2010 I blogged about what the Quincy Fair Mall looked like ->And now it is gone.... Here is the current update. 

There was a road created (the cars that you can see beyond the rubble are on the new road.). There was a big opening in October: Walter J Hannon Parkway opens

Now there is a easier connection to the expressway from Hancock Street. But, as you can see by the big pile of rubble, it still doesn't look finished. In fact, the view from the road is quite ugly. Hopefully it will look better by next year. There is also issues about traffic light timing -- it takes forever to get through there. The local paper wrote about it near Christmas: Trouble with Traffic

It was then changed, and Wicked Local Quincy checked a few days ago to see if the timing was fixed: Wicked Local goes down the road

And now it is gone....

In May, I showed you a picture of what the Quincy Fair Mall used to look like. They finally demolished the mall. Kind of sad to look at now... There are still no movie theaters in Quincy. At one point it looked like the Wollaston Theater had a chance to start up again, but that fell apart. The Boston Globe has the latest info, but it doesn't look that good.

Cinemas and the RMV

Here is the back of the building that will be demolished soon. If you look carefully you can see how some of the doors are boarded up and how the stairs are falling apart. The Registry was both on the left and right side of the doors. This building was known as the "Quincy Fair Mall".

The cinemas were closed for at least six years. Right now Quincy doesn't have a movie theater.

The sign for the restaurant Little Q Hotpot can be seen too. They were the last to leave the mall, since Little Q sued the city when Quincy tried to evict them. Luckily for the restaurant, Little Q finally got a settlement that paid for their relocation costs. Sadly, it was not another spot in Quincy.
