From the files of "the worst ideas, ever!" these exclusive photographs show the dividing of Eastridge Mall by two-story skybridges.
Previous to the most-recent renovation, this was the mall's idea to improve circulation and flow. However, the additional skybridges acted more as a wall and divided the once great mall.
The mysterious middle level made elevator-placement tricky. What we are looking at is their best effort. Now I understand why they wanted to remove the mystery level altogether.

Enjoy!

Sounds like I'm the only one who liked the mysterious middle level.
I go for anything different, and that was.
Hmmm...I think now I understand the middle level better. The old one was kind of confusing at best...now at least it looks real and not some kind of MC Escher design.
Wow, I don't live in the Bay Area anymore and haven't been to Eastridge in years. But I remember ditching school(!) and hanging out in those crazy walkways.
Hello, is there any way to contact the photographer of those pics? I could be in a couple of those pictures.
Thank you.
