The Block at Orange (built on the former site of The City Shopping Center) is an open-air shopping mall developed The Mills Corporation and owned by Simon Property Group in Orange, California, a few miles southeast of Disneyland near the heart of the Orange Crush interchange. It is popular with teenage skateboarders, housing Vans skatepark. It is also popular for its nightlife because of its AMC 30 Movie Theater, Lucky Strike Lanes, Dave & Buster's and Alcatraz, a San Francisco themed brewpub named after - and borrowing some themes from - the former prison at Alcatraz Island. Prior to 1998, the site was home to an enclosed mall called The City Shopping Center, featuring anchor stores May Company California and JC Penney, anchoring The City edge city complex. Mills purchased the site, originally considering conversion to an outlet mall, but instead built an outdoor lifestyle center after seeing the success of the Irvine Spectrum. The slogan was The Block at Orange... It Isn't Square. It was The Mills Corporation's first outdoor mall to not have the "Mills" name. The Virgin Megastore was featured in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan where Borat attempts to kidnap Pamela Anderson.
