Here are two great sites on the subject of retail history and dead malls
This is a continuation of a post I started before Christmas titled "Christmas Ghosts." Then, I visited three mall sites, two of them were dead or dying. Now I revisit the subject again and visit more KC Metro area malls or shopping centers. Some of them seem to be holding their own, and some are gone or nearly so. What prompted this is news that Antioch Center is soon to be demolished.
Mission Mall, Mission Kansas

The area around the Mall in interesting, having many relics of the time when the mall was new. Thankfully, everything doesn't change or get torn down....

I have to take a Tima break. While I was out and about, I had to give Tima her bath...
The Landing, Kansas City Missouri
Ranchmart, Leawood Kansas
Ranchmart has suffered under a recent remodel to update its look. It is a 1950's era googie shopping center that included a partial enclosed mall around the theater. It is a very interesting example of mid-century modern design. There are even boomerang patterns in the tile floor in front of the theater. The remodel only did the front of the main complex. It didn't touch the interior, side strip mall or the back. While the place looks like it has seen better days in some respects, I love the look and historic nature of this shopping center.
Love the boomerang pattern in the floor
