It's hard to describe the level of complete destruction that I saw there. I took my flipcam and <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF0Wg7cZLDI" REL="nofollow">shot a short video of it</A> as I drove past it, and again as I drove back past it later. The scene was very surreal.Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14012530324939880899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414651.post-64983900849645214572007-10-10T06:58:00.000-07:002007-10-10T06:58:00.000-07:00Great photos! Abandoned malls are very photogenic, and hard to find!! The Blues Brothers was filmed at the Dixie Square Mall in Harvey, IL. I have photos from many trips there on my website: <A HREF="http://www.chucksphotospot.com" REL="nofollow">Chucks Photo Spot</A>Urbanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12007308248340242894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414651.post-21285647401262335762007-10-09T18:10:00.000-07:002007-10-09T18:10:00.000-07:00Is this the same mall that was used in the filming of the Blues Brothers? Sure looks like it.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16461241789637802175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414651.post-47018612825438654852007-10-06T13:30:00.000-07:002007-10-06T13:30:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting the great photos. My mom and I used to catch the Bi-State to River Roads just about every Saturday when I was a kid in the late 60s-to mid-70s. The Woolworth store was one of my favorite places in the world back then, especially the toy and pet departments on the lower level...<BR/><BR/>I'd love to find photos of the mall in it's early days, or at least before it's rapid decline had started in the 80s. It's not too surprising that they're hard to find though.Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14012530324939880899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414651.post-86406897060241658772007-06-09T23:28:00.000-07:002007-06-09T23:28:00.000-07:00Love the photos!Retro Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02444470688023029334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414651.post-1171603855788310392007-02-15T21:30:00.000-08:002007-02-15T21:30:00.000-08:00Great photos!! Thanks so much for posting! I envy that you made it inside and got to look around. I have visited the mall 3 times over the past couple years and never worked up the nerve to go inside. I just had this creepy feeling I was not the only one there. Thanks again for the great post!!OutAndAbouthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12008167410368920258noreply@blogger.com
