Many are dying because they are filled with thug wannabes looking for trouble. Hickory Hollow Mall in Antioch, TN is one of them. The whole area is filled with illegal aliens and black thugs.
Thanks, that would keep me away.
That’s sad to hear as I went to Hickory Hollow when I visited Nashville back a little over twenty years ago. I remember also the Rivergate one up north of the city.
Correct. Salem Mall in N Dayton closed because of too much theft. When bus routes were put in to Dayton mall, it started to die.
Is Cool Springs Galleria still nice?
Hickey is closed now no?
Those open air malls serve a purpose
Easier to hvac and no loitering
Providence and the Avenue
The Colony in Jax Miss
That big one in Destin
Waterside in Naples FL
That’s my neighborhood. Once the largest and arguably greatest mall in Tennessee when it opened in 1978, with the demographic shift in the ‘90s it was a “slum mall” by the turn of the century. My former fiancée worked there at the time, hired on the spot because she “looked” like the new demographic (Hispanic/Illegals). Came home with horror stories every day about shoplifting and generally disgusting behavior on the part of the “patrons.”
The mall officially closed and was renamed Global Crossings or some such (I still call it Hickory Hollow) and has been repurposed. I believe it has a college branch, library and ice skating rink now. I haven’t been over to see it.
The “mojo” of the old mall can be found over at Cool Springs in Franklin, like it was in the better days of the ‘80s.
