One of the local "dead malls" is thriving as a collection of about 3 strip malls surrounding the common parking lot. Each "strip mall" has one or two big box stores and a couple have a line of smaller stores.
Of course, the two story mall itself, with its internal hallways and rows of boutique stores, is gone.
- technothrasher 7y agoOne of the places I remember most vividly from my childhood Christmas times was the "Shopper's World" mall in Framingham, MA (which is indeed listed in the above Dead Malls website). It was a two story mall that was wrapped around and open to a central grassy area. While incredibly dated now looking at pictures, the architecture was pretty cool and memorable. They tore it down in the mid 90's and replaced it with a very boring big-box plaza mall that looks exactly like every other one in existence. It still does a fine business. Makes me sad any time I go there now. Additionally nostalgic, the local Hostess bakery was across the street pumping its exhaust into the air. Whenever you went to the Shopper's World mall, the whole area smelled like Wonder Bread.
