Was Vallco ever alive? Serious question; it's seemed dead ever since the mid 90s

  It was very much alive in the early 1980s. (I worked in Cupertino from 1979-1985, and Vallco was a place we often went for lunch.)

  My wife (Cupertino native) tells me that it was semi-alive when she was a teenager; her first job was there. That would've been the mid-late 90s. Other than AMC, it's certainly been dead since I moved out to the Bay Area (2009). My wife was living elsewhere for the whole decade of the 00s, so she doesn't really know when it died.

  It's under reconstruction, finally. It was always a weak mall - but it had some niche offerings and I liked that my kids could run around there on hot summer evenings without having a press of people nearby. Apparently there was a sort of ownership struggle, and now I think that's been resolve in one way. Hopefully the new design will a) reach fruition and b) eliminate some of the bad feng shui about the place.
