Dekalb County, Georgia's BUFORD-CLAIRMONT MALL as it
existed in 1971. The middle-market merchandising mecca was
added to a freestanding Woolco that was in existence by 1968.
The mall, completed in 1969-1970, had a smaller junior anchor
on its south end. In the early years, it was a Sunshine Department
Store.

I think the Marshall's area was CW Shaws a nightclub in the 70's. My sister was a waitress there in the late 70's. Tandy Leather was somewhere around where the Marshall's area was too. There was a huge arts & crafts store too call Art Accents but I think it was inside the mall towards the middle.

Maybe that Marshall's area was a Hancock Fabrics? I think CW Shaws was closer to where Sunshine Dept Store/Burlington Coat Factory was.

Clay,

Thanks much for the Buford-Clairmont Mall memories.

I have added info to the article, and updated the 1971 site plan.

Cheers,
