It also looks like it could be the Pembroke Mall in Virginia Beach, VA -- although I'm new to the area and don't know anything about the history of Pembroke, except that it was recently remodeled.
I don't know where it is. But, I do think I see an aluminum Christmas tree in the center. I never seen a Ben Franklin inside a mall though. Only in a downtown. Interesting!
Bad Cat: that was my reaction, too, that it was the Mariner Mall. But, the Mariner never had those shell seats, they had brick planters with wood integrated benches.
Definitely not Harlem-Irving Plaza in Chicago (The "HIP")--I spent my childhood there and there was no Ben Franklin or carpeting or furniture like that.
What a great picture! From the look of the giant ornaments hanging from the ceiling, this must have been around Christmas--
ReplyDeleteMy first reaction is that it is Mariner Mall in Superior Wisconsin, but I bet there are a ton of malls that looked exactly like that.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Those are Eames Tandem Shell seats.
ReplyDeletethanks for the comments, guys. We'll get it figured out eventually.
ReplyDeleteI noticed, too, the ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I agree it must've been somewhere around Christmas here.
It looks a lot like Harlem-Irving Shopping Center in Chicago, IL.
ReplyDeleteVery generic-looking mall.
Hmm, the Harlem-Irving? OK, I'll look into it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Richmond Mall in Richmond Heights, Ohio. It's since been remodeled.
