DEAD MALL - Midway Mall - Elyria Ohio - Revisited | ERA_Productions

Описание: Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Midway Mall in Elyria Ohio! Opening it's doors in 1966, Midway Mall was built to dominate the Lorain County region, just outside of Cleveland. Midway Mall would be located right between I90 and I80 "The Ohio Turnpike." Midway Mall would start out with Sears, JCPenney, and Higbee's., along with several other small shops. Midway Mall would see great success throughout the 70s and 80s. To compete with nearby Great Northern Mall, Midway Mall would renovate and Expand in 1989, adding a new wing, a food court, and a May Company store. 1992 would see Kauffmann's take over the May Company name and Dillard's take over the Higbee's name. By 2002, Midway Mall would be acquired by Westfield, and would be rebranded to Westfield Shoppingtown Midway. However, Westfield would sell Midway Mall in 2006 and it would be renamed back to Midway Mall. 2007 would see Dillard's close their Midway Mall location, and things would start going downhill. As the 2010s came around, many stores would leave Midway Mall, and occupancy would drop fast. 2016 saw Macy's close up shop at Midway, followed by Sears a year later. By this point Midway Mall was 80% vacant and was sold over to Namdar Reality Group. Namdar would do absolutely nothing to save the mall, and just let it rot and get worse. 2019 saw JCPenney close up shop, and by this point, nothing could save Midway Mall. After covering this dead mall for the past 3 years, Midway Mall now sits under 10% occupied. Let's take a walk through Midway Mall one last time!
