Dixie Square

An abandoned shopping mall in Harvey, IL. Opening in 1966, it would close in 1978-79 due to a sudden rise in crime in the city of Harvey.

Originally made famous when it was trashed by police cars in The Blues Brothers, it has since become very well known and popular over the internet due to the fact that it has stood abandoned more than twice the amount of time it was open. Many websites, a book, and planned documentary about the mall are in existence; as well as thousands of pictures and several videos on YouTube.

It is one of the Chicago area's most popular urban exploration spots.

Many plans arose to demolish or convert the building for other uses; however the closest any of these plans came to be was the demolition of Mongomery Ward and a small on-site power plant in 2006 (after a major fiasco involving illegal and accidental demolition of Wards, and asbestos removal). Demolition stopped abruptly once funds ran out, and about 80% of the mall still stands. The developer who purchased the land was later arrested for harassing the hired demolition company; supposedly armed.

Dixieism 

A political ideology which follows several conservative ideals while also holding libertarian values. This ideology would result in a white ethnostate with the white population being allowed to do almost anything they want. Taxation would be very low or non-existent in this ideology.

Dixie Bomb 

One full shot of Southern COMFORT (idiot) dropped into half a Red Bull. Same as a Jager bomb, but with SoCo instead. Ryan Brown of La Vergne, Tennessee is credited as the originator of this drink. The man himself is a legend, now he has created a legendary drink.
I thought I was hammered and down for the night, but then I slammed that dixie bomb. Caffeine in the Red Bull gave me my second wind, alcohol from the SoCo made me forget what happened the next day.
