Also the fact that the Duffer Brothers likely grew up near Southsquare Mall lol.

My theory is fueled by the fact that Southsquare was the first mall in the Durham area (pre-Southpoint) that had a second floor, double escalators, and big skylights. And it was built in the 80s I believe around the same time Northgate went from strip mall to regular mall.

Also I have a theory that Starcourt Mall was possibly modeled after Southsquare Mall (RIP). Though Southsquare didn't burn down, it just closed when I was 7 and was torn down lol.

Gorgeous night with a gathering of Bushes at #SouthSquare Bradford. Total queen #KateButch was proper lovely (and has got pipes!). Fun and special. #WonderingHeights #WutheringNights #WutheringHeights #KateBush
