From Independence Mall to Kingston Collection: The Rise and Fall

Описание: DESCRIPTION:
Headline: What Happened to the Independence Mall? | The Rise & Fall of Kingston Collection. For anyone who grew up on the South Shore in the 90s, the Independence Mall was the place to be. Today, it’s rebranded as the Kingston Collection, and the "collection" is looking a little thin. With roughly 50% of the mall vacant, walking through these halls feels like a trip back in time. Join us as we explore the current state of the mall in 2026. We’ll discuss the impact of nearby Colony Place, the loss of legendary anchors like Filene's and JCPenney, and why this mall is now literally being replaced by residential apartments.

Note on Events: The mall frequently hosts large-scale community events like the Sip & Stroll Spring Fair, which brings in over 175 temporary vendors to fill the vacant corridors.
