The mall was vacant when they filmed the movie (all the stores were movie sets). I’m surprised it’s still around.

There are a few places in LA which have been empty for almost as long and need to go.

It looked like a dump mall back then. Belushi was hilarious.

I look forward to the day real soon when we will have this site cleaned and available for development.

What are they going to put there instead? A gigantic ACORN office or LINK card distribution facility? It's not exactly prime real estate anymore.

The reason the mall closed in the first place is because Harvey (and the general area around it) was allowed to become an urban war zone:

In the meantime, crime was becoming an increasing problem in the mall's town of Harvey, a failing, poverty-stricken suburb 20 miles (32 km) south of Chicago. Several major incidents occurred near or at the mall itself. In November 1972, a young woman was fatally shot near the mall in a botched robbery attempt. On April 20, 1973, another person was shot in a robbery on the mall property itself. In July 1973, a teenage girl was lured away from the mall by three other teenage girls, and strangled to death.

Great movie and gret chase scene besides Steve McQueen’s Bullit movie ! Funny the movie was filmed after the original Mayor Daley went for a dirt nap !

I had no idea that place was still standing. I’m shocked they hadn’t already knocked it down and built something else.
