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. This site includes historical sections about regional department stores, discount stores, 5 & 10 stores and supermarkets. 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 rendering of THE LANDMARK, a lifestyle center that was supposed to have replaced SALEM MALL. As previously stated, the shopping center was demolished -except for Sears- in 2005. By 2010, THE LANDMARK plan had been abandoned. A 2011 prospectus, for a TECH CONNECTION BUSINESS PARK, eventually met the same fate.
