Hello there, fellow Wayfarers! We're back with a dead mall tour we filmed in September 2018 and March 2019 of the County Fair Mall in Woodland, CA. This mall is located in what used to be considered "out in the country", but this area is growing fast and due to be redeveloped any day now.

Nevertheless, there's still vestiges of the agricultural past (and present) visible in the rolling expanses of fields edging the main town, sleepy Yolo County fairgrounds situated across the street from the mall, and the train tracks (complete with trains) criss-crossing the roads in between. Our mission was to attempt to capture some of the history of this long-time community fixture in Woodland before the bulldozers arrive.

This bucolic suburb west of Sacramento is also close to Davis, a college town (UC Davis) bustling with activity and fueling Woodland's growth. They'll definitely seize on this big opportunity to rezone this underutilized area for residential and/or mixed use property, but it'll be at the expense of this old mall and with it, a piece of Woodland's history.

Thanks for watching!
