The Bergen Mall, which first opened its doors in 1957, holds a special place in the hearts of my family, even long after larger and more extravagant malls emerged on the scene. In its current incarnation as The Outlets at Bergen Town Center, the mall has undergone such a remarkable transformation that those who grew up frequenting its halls would hardly recognize it today. Reminiscing about the past, I recall reading an article in the local paper during the 1990s announcing plans for a major overhaul of the mall. Intrigued by the prospect of change, I decided to seize the opportunity and document the mall's original state by capturing some photographs.
