The Burlington Mall is the main filming location for the 2008 Kevin James vehicle, Paul Blart, Mall Cop.
While I haven't seen this movie, from the trailers I've gathered this is where Kevin James murdered funny. With a ham sandwich.
Luckily, the second installment of the franchise is arriving in April 2015.

During the early days of Creedence Clearwater Revival, back when the they were a junior high/high school band called The Blue Velvets, the Fogerty brothers (John and Tom) lived in the family home at this address.
Tom was a bit older and working on his own musical projects; he didn't join the band until after high school.
John Fogerty lived in the basement. As bandmate Stu Cook put it in a SF Gate article: "John had a basement mentality and he still has a basement mentality."

In 1963, members of The Blue Velvets were watching a PBS documentary on Vince Guaraldi, who had a recent hit with "Cast Your Fate To The Wind." The Blue Velvets were excited to learn that Guaraldi's label, Fantasy Records, was located nearby in Oakland, CA.
The band approached Max Weiss, co-owner of Fantasy Records, about doing some instrumentals for the label. Weiss was impressed with the energy of the band and signed them, but had them change their name to The Golliwogs (which they kept for 3.5 years).
After Fantasy Records was sold to Saul Zaentz, the band changed their name again- to Creedence Clearwater Revival.
