As many of you know, our bustling student union used to be a brewery. But did you know that in the 1980s, the Tivoli was a shopping mall? That's right, a mall! Like the Galleria in Los Angeles or The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, the Tivoli was once awash with eye-rolling teenagers and tired families looking for last-minute holiday gifts. It even had escalators!
Well, now you can see examples of the old Tivoli Mall in the Auraria Library Digital Collections: http://digital.auraria.edu/AA00004800 -- check back often, as we've barely scratched the surface of the Tivoli's mercantile history.
