Taken from the now demolished Christchurch Road railway bridge, these businesses in Station Road covered the site of Merton Abbey station, which in turn covered the remains of Merton Priory (1114 - 1538). The area is now Merantun Way. (Just visible in the background are the remains of the New Merton Board Mills, being demolished for the Savacentre hypermarket.)
The Forest Fair Mall was opened in 1989 and originally featured Bigg's Hypermarket, Bonwit Teller, B. Altman, Elder-Beerman, Parisian, and Sakowitz as anchor stores. By the early 2000s, all of the anchor stores original to the mall had closed except for Bigg's Hypermarket.
The mall underwent two major renovations since its debut. One was done in the early 1990s to make the mall more of a discount-based mall and cost $8 Million. Mills later took over the mall and spent nearly $70 million renovating the struggling mall into Cincinnati Mills, which opened in 2004. Bass Pro Shops, Showcase Cinemas, Kohl's, and Burlington Coat Factory later moved into the mall to replace the original anchor stores. Mills was later taken over by Simon Malls. After struggling to keep the mall filled, Simon sold the mall off. The name was changed to Cincinnati Mall in 2009. The mall reportedly changed its name to Forest Fair Village in 2013 but never officially changed any of the exterior or interior signs saying "Cincinnati Mall".
This mall is very modern for a dead mall. I guess it goes to show that some malls just can't be saved no matter how much money is poured into them. There are two other major malls within several miles of this one that were built earlier with more stable (in the long run) anchor stores like Sears and JCPenney. This mall was also built off an exit that didn't get nearly the development as around the area's other malls. The mall still seems most commonly refered to as Cincinnati Mills. Today, this nearly 2,000,000 square foot mall has only Kohl's, Bass Pro Shops (leaving later in 2015), and Babies R Us as anchor stores. The interior of the mall is (by my estimate) about 95% empty.

Chicken, well...It's the main ingredient of a typical Asian chicken rice dish found in Southeast Asia. It can be had in three "flavors": steamed (as in the photo above), roasted or deep fried.
I've tried countless chicken rice dishes as long as I can remember but the serving above didn't taste as good as the image suggests. There was little meat compared to the bone and the chicken was dry and overcooked.
Photographed at The Chicken Rice Shop outlet at the Tesco Extra hypermarket.
This McDonald's restaurant is located in Digne-les-Bains along the route nationale N85 on an industiral zone with big box stores and a Carrefour hypermarket. The density of McDonald's restaurants in not that large, the next nearest is McDonald's Peipin (22 kilometers) and seconds one is McDonald's Manosque (47 kilometers from here).
For today this was the location of a late lunch after driving 137 kilometers.

Here is the center court complete with its disused water fountains and no stores. It appears like there was a video game competion going on here since some people had games set up on old TVs. There were also some people filming stunt car manuevers outside by the old Bigg's. It looks like this mall might do a lot with leasing out space for one time events.

Tons of empty halls to wander through. I didn't feel this mall was unsafe. There are a few places I have been that were this dead and I didn't really feel that safe.

The ceiling in this store seems different for a Burlington Coat Factory store. Would this happen to be from the store's Bonwit Teller days in the early 1990s? Part of the store has an open ceiling (background of the shot), another part (close to the camera), has an open ceiling but with braces like there was once a drop ceiling, and another section has a drop ceiling that is lower (left side of shot). I am not familiar with Bonwit Teller, they went out of business before I was born. Is anybody here familiar with them?

According to the hours on the sign, the EuroBungy should have been open; this shot was on a Saturday at around 12:30. On the sign it says this is open on Saturday and Sunday starting at 12PM.
The food court is on the left and the Showcase Cinemas (top level / closed) plus the Arcade Legacy (bottom level / still open) are on the right. The Arcade Legacy slot was the original home for Steve & Barry's before it moved into the former Elder-Beerman.

Warrington's no. 12, a 1966 Leyland Titan PD2/40 with East Lancs body, does a "straight over" at the lights where now it would have to join a roundabout to cross to the Cheshire bank of the River Mersey. The photograph was taken on Monday 16th February 1976. Only eight days to go to the opening of the Biggest Hypermarket in the land ...Tesco's at Irlam. What's it like these days I wonder. Anybody been in lately?

This mall is very modern for a dead mall. I guess it goes to show that some malls just can't be saved no matter how much money is poured into them. There are two other major malls within several miles of this one that were built earlier with more stable (in the long run) anchor stores like Sears and JCPenney. This mall was also built off an exit that didn't get nearly the development as around the area's other malls. The mall still seems most commonly refered to as Cincinnati Mills. Today, this nearly 2,000,000 square foot mall has only Kohl's, Bass Pro Shops (leaving later in 2015), and Babies R Us as anchor stores. The interior of the mall is (by my estimate) about 95% empty.

Originally an Elder-Beerman department store.
The Forest Fair Mall was opened in 1989 and originally featured Bigg's Hypermarket, Bonwit Teller, B. Altman, Elder-Beerman, Parisian, and Sakowitz as anchor stores. By the early 2000s, all of the anchor stores original to the mall had closed except for Bigg's Hypermarket.
The mall underwent two major renovations since its debut. One was done in the early 1990s to make the mall more of a discount-based mall and cost $8 Million. Mills later took over the mall and spent nearly $70 million renovating the struggling mall into Cincinnati Mills, which opened in 2004. Bass Pro Shops, Showcase Cinemas, Kohl's, and Burlington Coat Factory later moved into the mall to replace the original anchor stores. Mills was later taken over by Simon Malls. After struggling to keep the mall filled, Simon sold the mall off. The name was changed to Cincinnati Mall in 2009. The mall reportedly changed its name to Forest Fair Village in 2013 but never officially changed any of the exterior or interior signs saying "Cincinnati Mall".

The Portuguese participate in many cultural activities, indulging their appreciation of art, music, drama, and dance. Portugal has a rich traditional folklore with great regional variety. Many cities and towns have a museum and a collection of ancient monuments and buildings. Many towns have at least a cinema, some venues to listen to music and locations to see arts and crafts. In the larger cities visits to the theatre, concerts or galleries of modern exhibitions are popular, and Portugal can boast not only international-scale venues in Lisbon, Porto, Braga, Guimarães and Coimbra but also many acclaimed artists from various disciplines. The importance of the arts is illustrated by the fact that on the death of Amália Rodrigues, the "Queen of Fado" (fado is Portugal's national music) in October 1999, three days of national mourning was declared. In 1998, José Saramago, one of Portugal's well-known writers, was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. Lisbon (1994), Porto (2001) and Guimarães (2012) were all designated European Capitals of Culture, contributing to a current renaissance in artistic creation, and in 2004 Portugal hosted the European football finals in specially constructed stadiums.
In smaller towns and villages, cultural activity may revolve around local folklore, with musical groups performing traditional dance and song. Local festivities are very popular during the summer season in all kinds of localities ranging from villages to cities, as well as beach holidays from July to September. Portuguese people in almost all major towns and the cities like to know their places which are generally well equipped with modern facilities and offer a wide variety of attractions ranging from shops and stores of the most renowned brands to cinemas, restaurants and hypermarkets. Café culture is also regarded as an important cultural feature of the Portuguese. As the most popular sport, football events involving major Portuguese teams are always widely followed with great enthusiasm. There are a number of bullrings in Portugal, although the passion for bullfighting varies from region to region.

Front end of the Walmart Supercenter in Glen Burnie, Maryland, viewed from the far side of the registers near the grocery-side entrance. The dark area in this photo is caused by an insufficient number of light fixtures in this area, likely due to structural elements left over from an interior corridor that previously occupied this area.
This store is somewhat unusual as Walmart stores go. According to what I've found, this store was built in 1991 as a Leedmark hypermarket store, which closed in 1994. Following the closing, Walmart and Mars Supermarket occupied space in the building. A long interior corridor existed along the front of the building. The Mars store closed in 2008, and Walmart expanded to a Supercenter in late 2010.
While the building now looks mostly like a typical Walmart Supercenter, clues to the building's past remain. The building is taller and boxier outside, the ceilings are higher inside, there are no skylights, and additional supports from the (now demolished) interior corridor are visible at the front of the store.

1st Avenue Mall Penang is a multi-level shopping mall in the heart of George Town, Penang.
The name "1st Avenue" is derived from Magazine Road, which is known as the first avenue or street in the Seven Streets Precinct of George Town.
Commercial space at 1st Avenue Mall is spread over seven levels.
The eighth floor, billed Cloud Eight, has an open viewpoint of the city of George Town.
At time of opening, the mall had Parkson Department Store as the anchor tenant. And there is a Carrefour Hypermarket as well now.

I have no idea if this still works since I didn't try it. Another contact posted that this was shut-down when they were here. The same person also posted that the doors to Bass Pro Shops and Kohl's were locked but on my trip they were both unlocked. I believe they came here later in the day though.

This store was opened as a Kmart prototype in 1992. In 2000 Kmart built a 50,000 square foot expansion onto the back of the store and converted it to a Super Kmart. This store is currently the only conversion of a early 1990s build Kmart to a Supercenter that is still intact. This is also the only Super Kmart currently at a mall, in fact the Super Kmart in Caguas, Puerto Rico should have been the only other mall location ever.

The Oyishi Japan Restaurant is the last food place left open inside the mall. A photo from another contact of mine shows this place as closed so it must close down early in the day. At another mall I went to, the food court was about half-occupied and EVERY remaining food stand shut down by 4PM!

Today, this nearly 2,000,000 square foot mall has only Kohl's, Bass Pro Shops (leaving later in 2015), and Babies R Us as anchor stores. The interior of the mall is (by my estimate) about 95% empty.

The Forest Fair Mall was opened in 1989 and originally featured Bigg's Hypermarket, Bonwit Teller, B. Altman, Elder-Beerman, Parisian, and Sakowitz as anchor stores. By the early 2000s, all of the anchor stores original to the mall had closed except for Bigg's Hypermarket.
The mall underwent two major renovations since its debut. One was done in the early 1990s to make the mall more of a discount-based mall and cost $8 Million. Mills later took over the mall and spent nearly $70 million renovating the struggling mall into Cincinnati Mills, which opened in 2004. Bass Pro Shops, Showcase Cinemas, Kohl's, and Burlington Coat Factory later moved into the mall to replace the original anchor stores. Mills was later taken over by Simon Malls. After struggling to keep the mall filled, Simon sold the mall off. The name was changed to Cincinnati Mall in 2009. The mall reportedly changed its name to Forest Fair Village in 2013 but never officially changed any of the exterior or interior signs saying "Cincinnati Mall".
This mall is very modern for a dead mall. I guess it goes to show that some malls just can't be saved no matter how much money is poured into them.
