Not sure this is allowed, but I've often thought deadmalls make great templates for another liminal aesthetic, poolrooms. I modeled this off a photo from Chesapeake Square, Chesapeake VA.

Looking for any old photos or videos of lakeside mall in Sterling Heights Michigan

So basically this was the mall my parents took me to a lot as a kid and since it’s closing I thought it would be fun to see images of the mall back from the 70s,80,and 90s before I was born, however said things are almost impossible to come across online. I’ve heard they used to have a water slide and outside of some news paper articles and one really short clip in a video I found i can’t seem to find anything else on it. I can’t even find a list of stores from over the years. So I figure I’d ask here and see if anyone could help me out with my search.

I made a VHS tribute to mall fountains to celebrate the now-defunct Promenade Mall near my house that closed last year -- the very last shot in the video was recorded there several years back -- way too many once-beautiful mall fountains are now disabled and vanished

Forest Fair Mall (Cincinnati, OH) 1989 Promo

Found this gem today. Very good footage from the grand opening of the infamous Forest Fair Mall in 1989. You get to see several shots of the mall, including storefronts.

Why are some department stores failing while others are not?

Jcpenny, macys, kohls are going down the toilet but belk, dillards, boscovs, von maur arent showing signs of stress. I actually think some of them have opened 1-2 locations in the last couple of years. Whats going on here?
