I know of another mall that had a monorail. When Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn, MI opened, there was a monorail that connected the mall to the adjacent Hyatt Regency hotel. It operated for several years but was ultimately removed.

Good catch; it’s fixed. Funny that it was up for two years and no one else caught it.

I’ve worked there for many years and your article states that Uptown is anchored by Sears. It is the opposite. Uptown is where Macy’s and Pricebusters is, and Downtown is where Long’s and Sears are. Thought I’ld pass the correction to you. We don’t want to confuse anyone.

I went to Hawaii back in 2004. I remember checking out this mall. The Skycab/Monorail was pretty cool.

Whoa! A mall in two buildings? A monorail? A watercress farm? Is Uptown more upscale than Downtown? Wow.

Actually, there is at least one other mall with a monorail in America. Westlake Center in downtown Seattle serves as the southern terminal of the Seattle Center monorail line, although in that case, the monorail predated the mall by more than 25 years.

Just wanted to say thanks for these pics…I lived in that area as a child, and although I can’t remember it well enough to recognize too much in these pics, I’m sure my parents will get a kick out of them. Thanks!
