Northgate Mall tenants given 30 day notice to vacate.

No official plans announced, but the former Sears and movie theater parcels are not involved in the pending redevelopment.

A mall concouse devoid of open stores and shoppers. An empty food court in a dead mall. No food options are available, but plenty of empty tables are there for those who want to dwell. A former jewelry store turned arcade stands among many other closed storefronts. A mall concourse devoid of open stores and shoppers.

Permits filed to demolish the 90s-vintage Concord Mall in Wilmington, Delaware -- home to the infamous "hidden Burger King" -- as Namdar Realty crashes and burns another to the ground.

Views from barely a year ago. #deadmalls

Photograph. A dry water feature in an enclosed shopping mall, surrounded by lush greenery and a clock tower structure. Retail storefronts in the background. Skylight overhead allows sunlight to pour in. Photograph. A blue steel and brass raised planter reaches toward a bright glass skylight. Reflection of the photographer standing on a mall concourse in the brass. Photograph. A series of lush planters at the end of an enclosed shopping mall -- stores line either side, many of them vacant. Skylight overhead. Terrazzo and tile flooring on the ground. Photograph. Concourse of an enclosed shopping mall with retail stores lining either side. Lush planters with thick tropical vegetation grows in raised planters along the concourse. A closed Sears department store anchors the far end.

Foliage and colorful floor tile fill the center court of the mall, the drained and silent fountain as the centerpiece. Natural light bathes through the skylight above. Lush plants and trees line the hallway of a shopping mall concourse. Natural light pours in through skylights above.

Office Furniture

Macy's Home Store at Delaware's Concord Mall, previously under the Strawbridge and Clothier banner.

This space was originally an office building, attached to the mall's 1972 expansion.

The store has since closed.

Photograph of an empty concourse of the dead Forest Fair Village shopping mall. The decor caricaturizes American agriculture with large hanging American flag sculptures and farm animals. The mall is devoid of any shoppers or retailers. Daylight of a mall exit is visible in the distance.

I can’t deal with two of my niche interests ending this weekend. The Death Becomes Her musical ended its run on Broadway on the following day. I hope to see it on tour in Durham in November! …

The future is grim.

Hudson Valley Mall ~ Kingston, NY

#deadmalls #photography #retail #malls #empty #newyork
A mall concourse with vacant storefronts walled off with clip art, photography and other information. And empty storefront with tattered paper covering the entry gate. A "We Are Closed" sign is taped to the window. An abandoned JCPenney department store. A "Customer Service" sign hangs from the ceiling, and jewlery cases can be seen in the distance in front of the walled off mall entrance.

I can't help but wonder if a remodel would've helped MacArthur Center. As much as we love a Taubman mall in the dead mall community, it's hard to woo new big time stores to a building that hasn't been updated since 1998-1999. #deadmalls

MacArthur Center in Norfolk, VA closes this weekend. I wish security would chill out that day and let people take photos and enjoy their last moments at this giant building. #deadmalls sickmalls.wordpress.com/category/mac...
