Round shade canopy and mall information at south entrance; Fashion Valley Mall is an upscale, open-air shopping mall in Mission Valley in San Diego. It is one of the largest malls in California. It was developed by Ernest W. Hahn and opened in 1969, in part on the former site of the baseball stadium called Westgate Park. In October 1997, Gene Kemp led a $110 million renovation project which increased the mall size to 1,700,000 square feet (160,000 m2), 205 stores, and added 5 parking structures to accommodate 8,000 cars. There are restaurants and an 18 screen cinema. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 7/14/2012)
