Horton Plaza | San Diego, California | Dying/ Dead Mall?
Horton Plaza opened downtown San Diego, California in 1985. I love this mall and encourage you to visit if you are in the area visiting. Although it is becoming a dead mall I have hope that it can be revitalized. It pains me to see it in this state and how far it has fallen just within the last year.

The Broadway Fountain - Horton Plaza, San Diego, California, USA - Crystal Fountains
On January 11, 2011, the San Diego City Council unanimously voted to approve a unique public-private partnership between Westfield and the City of San Diego. This plan created a world-class Urban Plaza as well as beautified and restored the historic park and fountain adjacent to this property, re-establishing it as the regional treasure that it was in the early-to-mid 1900’s.
Horton Plaza Park is a multi-tiered alfresco mall nestled among gleaming office towers, and is most notable for its housing of The Broadway Fountain. Originally designed by Irving Gill and modeled after the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, the fountain was certainly a true work of art, but a solid maintenance plan for the plaza was never developed. By 1955 the deteriorated condition could no longer be ignored and the Chamber of Commerce requested the removal of the fountain, palms and grass. Heated letters were printed in local papers from readers who wanted the plaza they knew and loved put in good condition rather than simply destroyed. Siding with its citizens, the Council voted to clean the plaza and renovate.
Therefore, in 1985 the plaza and fountain underwent a revitalization in conjunction with the addition of the adjacent shopping centre. It recently underwent yet another beautification, and now stands as an even greater marvel by virtue of its colored underwater LED lighting and state-of-the-art timing and pumping mechanisms. Having played host to the likes of John F Kennedy and Benjamin Harrison, countless other VIP talks, and a variety of demonstrations, the plaza still stands today as a designated San Diego historic landmark. Fortunately under the new partnership the fountain and surrounding area will also continue to play host to many exciting and monumental events, and provide the ideal location for local and tourist entertainment for years to come.

San Diego is a major city in California, United States. It is in San Diego County, on the coast of the Pacific Ocean in Southern California, approximately 120 miles (190 km) south of Los Angeles and immediately adjacent to the border with Mexico.
With an estimated population of 1,406,630 as of July 1, 2016, San Diego is the eighth-largest city in the United States and second-largest in California. It is part of the San Diego–Tijuana conurbation, the second-largest transborder agglomeration between the US and a bordering country after Detroit–Windsor, with a population of 4,922,723 people. The city is known for its mild year-round climate, natural deep-water harbor, extensive beaches, long association with the United States Navy, and recent emergence as a healthcare and biotechnology development center.
San Diego has been called the birthplace of California. Historically home to the Kumeyaay people, it was the first site visited by Europeans on what is now the West Coast of the United States. Upon landing in San Diego Bay in 1542, Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo claimed the area for Spain, forming the basis for the settlement of Alta California 200 years later. The Presidio and Mission San Diego de Alcalá, founded in 1769, formed the first European settlement in what is now California. In 1821, San Diego became part of the newly independent Mexico, which reformed as the First Mexican Republic two years later. California became part of the United States in 1848 following the Mexican–American War and was admitted to the union as a state in 1850.
The city is the seat of San Diego County and is the economic center of the region as well as the San Diego–Tijuana metropolitan area. San Diego's main economic engines are military and defense-related activities, tourism, international trade, and manufacturing. The presence of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), with the affiliated UCSD Medical Center, has helped make the area a center of research in biotechnology.
