We'll jump right into things with this architectural rendering of the "Sixth Street Mall" from 1969. It probably would have been better to go with an open air design, then the city wouldn't have had to spend all that money demolishing the enclosed mall (built in 1985) a few years ago. Or did they initially go with this open air design, then later build the enclosed mall? Anyone care to give some insight?
The open air mall existed from ( my guess ) the time the Richmond Coliseum opened ( 1970? ) until the 6th street marketplace was built. I recall as a kid going to several June Jubilee events were held there.
