A once nice mall in East Charlotte, now a GHETTO-fab armpit...The only nice part of the mall now that all the big stores except Belk and Sears have left or been turned into dicount dumps is an ice rink - Which is also the only place in the mall where you will find any white people anymore...Thats if you don't count the cops patrolling the area.
I went to Eastland Mall this Christmas for some shopping, some 5'6" 120lb punk with size 59 pants and a do-rag stabbed me in my lung with an ice-pick and stole my Carolina Panthers Ball Cap

A mall in Harper Woods, MI(suburb NE of Detroit). Opened in the 1950's as a mid to higher end outdoor shopping mall. It was remodelled and turned into an indoor center. The mall currently serves a large African American consumee base which focuses more on clothes, shoes, and fast food outlets. The Mall is on the corner infamous 8 Mile Road and Kelly Road. It has one of the largest theft rates in metro Detroit due to the lower-income clientele. The residents of the ultra-welathy Grosse Pointes (nearby) do not shop there anymore.

The mall that died with honor, by not changing, reiventing itself, or keeping up with the rest no matter who threatened it with closure. It died as Eastland, no matter what negative attention came its way late in its life. It was the grand mall for the working people and not just the wealthy.

The mall that hasn't had a successful redevelopment because in reality nothing would replace it. It should have been left alone instead of demolished, but unless they build another Eastland, people know that something will always be missing, and that they fucked up by taking it from them. It's like a neighborhood that no longer exists, it's gone forever now.

Eastland Mall wasn't lost due to lack of appreciation, people did love going there. It was lost because someone knew people loved going there.

A mall that at one time didn't need new life on site, since people loved going there and skating at the ice rink. There is nothing that will replace it, no matter what gets built there now. Somebody thought it would be better if it crumbled than if it was still standing, and people allowed it to happen, the same way they did Thunder Road.
Eastland Mall didn't really need to be lost, and there's not anything they could build that would replace it. Sometimes something was already done right once, then somebody came along trying to destroy it, and it won't ever be right again, it's gone.
