Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet. The MALL HALL OF FAME is a vintage shopping mall scrapbook. Its focus is on shopping complexes built -in the USA- between 1946 and 1979. Don't forget to visit our four Shopping Mall Memory Lanes, which transport you through time to a mall in 1956, 1963, 1970 and 1977!

A circa-2018 plan for the redevelopment of CROSSROADS MALL advocated construction of a New Urbanism-style CROSSROADS VILLAGE. This would have encompassed around 800,000 square feet of retail, hospitality and office space, with the original mall's parking garage and Target store being retained. This plan was eventually abandoned.

A new plan and developer came on the scene in 2020. CROSSROADS MALL would be replaced by THE CROSSROADS, an open-air, mixed-use project. When complete, it would feature 850,000 square feet of retail, office and entertainment space, as well as 400 residential units and a 150-room hotel.

We end our CROSSROADS segment with a parting view of the mall's vacant interior. The final stores in the complex closed in September 2020, with a wrecking ball brought in in December.
