Wish I could see inside! I would love to hear more about your memories of this mall, Keith, especially about the decor and the stores back in ' Looks like a neat mall, Keith. I have never been to any Michigan malls I'm originally from neighboring Ohio , but I certainly share your nostalgia for the "good ole mall days". Dayton, Ohio.
My first visit there was in , when construction of the "super-regional", store, shopping center was nearing completion. I have sent letters to the mall I would love to see them Dennis North Georgia. Scott: That "blog" is rarely updated and appears to be more of a seasonal type of deal so far--they posted an item in the summer June , and now they have a Fall message.
If there was more to it and if it was updated regularly, I would have made mention of it a while ago, because I thought the idea was kind of cool, too, when I first saw it. It's just that there's nothing there really.
No content. As for Oakland Mall being two levels near Penney's--this wasn't an addition. Been that way since the start. The Sears anchor on the East side of the mall is two levels as well.
It, too, has been that way since the beginning I have a few aerials from around the time they opened which also show this. That whole West wing becomes two levels outside of Penney's, with multiple stores on top and below through there.

The Hippo -- Does anyone remember the concrete hippo that stood just East of Hudson's, in front of Van Horn's and Winkleman's now combined as Border's next to the long-gone fountain?
Anyway, that very hippo now resides at the entrance of the Detroit Zoo, you know, if you're ever in the area and want to visit the hippo, that's where he or she is, anyway, at the zoo. Well shiver me timbers. I was under the impression the second level Penney's stuff had always been there. Coincidentally, I just had a conversation about that with someone a few months ago and they believed it was always there too. At any rate, thanks Anonymous 2!
OK, so I'll rephrase that answer then: It's been there as long as I can remember Wrigley Supermarket was later converted to J. Penney in the late s. This store was torn down for a northern expansion, which opened in This new wing, unlike the original mall, was two stories, featuring a new J.
