The mostly abandoned shopping center was used as a set for the filming of the 2009 American comedy film Observe and Report and the 2013 American Mystery film/Thriller Odd Thomas Redevelopment 2002-2011 In July 2002, New Jersey based PruWinrock LLC, the firm that owned the property, announced new development and proposed “an open-air large-format community center.” This failed incarnation would have included high-end retail, a movie theater, and apartment condos. The new center would have included of retail space. Groundbreaking for phase I was to begin in 2003 and be completed two years later. PruWinrock's approval was denied by the planning commission for additional on and off-ramps to neighboring I-40 on the grounds that they had not completed a required traffic study.
