Kalamazoo, Michigan's BURDICK MALL, the first of Gruen's
downtown pedestrian promenades. Dedicated in August 1959,
the failed experiment in urban redevelopment was finally
reopened to vehicular traffic in October 1998.

One of many classic mall and retro retail internet sites, the MALL HALL OF FAME is a "Mid-mod" mall museum, covering shopping centers of America's mid-20th century (1950-1979). There are short articles, a few photos, and at least one physical layout drawing for every mall inducted. Please feel free to post any additional info you may be aware of. Thanks much.
