what happens if some of the malls on the list are torn down. in the Illinois list there are two for sure that have been torn down.
Old Chicago is now a giant paved lot for a local car auction company.
the joliet mall, called "wilderness mall" is as of this day being torn down. (11-08-2005)
[edit] Wikification of city names
In some sections, the cities are listed as city only and Wikified. For example:
Others are listed city/state and not wikified. Example:
Tanglewood Mall: Roanoke, VA
The Wikified version looks better and eliminates some redundancy. As the header names the state, we don't have to mention the state in every entry. Plus Wikifying the city name lends itself to comparing the mall's doings to how the city is doing, which is quite interesting in itself... SchuminWeb (Talk) 22:23, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Moved the big list
I moved the big list to List of dead and distressed shopping malls. This way, the factual content about dead malls is separate from the big list of dead malls. SchuminWeb (Talk) 22:38, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Dead malls
Just as a heads-up, I'm currently working on putting all the articles on dead and distressed shopping malls under the umbrella of a WikiProject so that we can better coordinate our efforts in documenting these malls, which I consider to be a strong part of the various areas' local history. Stay tuned for more information. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:50, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
