Chicks Natural was one of the original businesses from when this mall first opened 31 years ago.  I biked over to explore when I lived in Mira Mesa.  When I first moved to Mira Mesa Mira Mesa Blvd ended at Parkdale and this area was barren mesa with a few vernal pools.  I explored the wilderness on my bike and it was much harder getting to this area.  When Mira Mesa Blvd was built out the ride was easy.  This mall was so shiny and clean back then.  Now things have been faded by the sun and I notice Staples is now closed.
