A more recent floor plan of SOUTHTOWN, which includes the South-
west Wing addition (indicated in gray). In retrospect, it appears that
it might have been better had this expansion never been built. Within
a few years of its dedication, the mall was in a downward spiral that it
never escaped from. A new Sears, added as a fourth anchor, could
have waited a while and simply moved into the "Monkey Wards",
vacated the year after the Southwest Wing -and new Sears- were
completed.
