An enclosed shopping mall built in 1971 in the developing Chicago suburb of Waukegan. Anchored by Carson Pirie Scott & Co., Wieboldt's, and JC Penney (known at the time as simply Penney's), the mall featured over 100 shops, as well as several shops and restaurants outside the mall including a multiplex, Service Merchandise, and a strip-mall.
In 1986 Wieboldt's filed for bankruptcy and closed its Lakehurst location, just in time for the infamous flood of 1986 which crippled the village of Gurnee some 5 minutes away. The floods resulted in the closure of Gurnee's elementary schools, which for about 6 weeks would be held inside the former Wieboldt's anchor, which became unofficially known as "Wieboldt U". After the schools were repaired and Wieboldt U students left, the store was remodeled and reopened as a Montgomery Ward on the top floor and Dunham's Sports on the bottom floor.
1991 sparked the decline of Lakehurst when the massive Gurnee Mills outlet mall was built 5 minutes away. Almost instantly Lakehurst shoppers and tenants fled Lakehurst for the new mega mall. 1997 would be a vicious blow to Lakehurst's head when JCPenney closed its Lakehurst location due to it being considered "underperforming", and a larger more updated store being built 30 minutes away in Vernon Hills. Montgomery Ward also closed its Lakehurst location due to bankruptcy troubles.
The rapidly dying mall was shuttered in 2001, leaving its Carson Pirie Scott anchor as the only operating store at Lakehurst. Carson's survived through 2003 and finally turned out the lights in early 2004, with demolition following shortly afterward. The land is being redeveloped to Fountain Square of Waukegan, a mixed retail and office plaza.

Totally cool campus! Must see! Lake erie college is a hidden gem in Ohio. It has one of the most spectacular small campuses I have ever seen, and the entire place is so student centered that everyone interacts all the time with the college's president! Cool!The students are really good looking, but mostly jocks. Female and male. They are really friendly and it has a great student culture and night life. The students are even entertained throughout the year in the presidents mansion for various school events. They even have a seret holiday when school is cancelled on a warm fall day. It is called mountian day and it is a blast. The college is alot of fun and it is pretty highly ranked and the only division 2 school in NE Ohio. I am really surprised that more people haven't heard of it. The only negative I saw was that some of the equestrian girls looked like thier horses, but the rest are really hot. The lax girls are hot too, but they and the equine girls are into preppy and pearls. So they are great if yout are into that type. I checked it out for lax and decided to stay. I don't regret it.
One of the best colleges in the mid-west for jocks and preppies! lake erie college

Get the lake erie college mug."The Village" kids like to call it nowadays make it sound like its the place to be on Thursday nights. Teens ages 12-21 take at least three hours to prepare them selves, and while doing so take scandalous pictures and post them all over Facebook. Hudson Falls kids, mostly, get hammered and when the morning comes they don't know where they are or how they got there. 90% of the Queensbury student population go there regularly, and is almost impossible to go there and not see someone you know. When each person go home, they have at least one friend request on Facebook. Its the place to be if you want an STD. Oh and dont worry you will get your butt slapped for sure. Have a safe summer.
