That time I found the portal to McDonaldland... a space listed as McDonald's on mall directories as early as 1974 and entombed behind a drywall facade after vacating in the mid-90s.

Photograph. Details of wood facade paneling, a pattern of diamond carvings and star-shaped cutouts revealing a yellow background. The star-shaped openings would be backlit with fluorescent lighting. Photograph. Detail of green, 1970s fiberglass and textile restaurant seating. Photograph. A vacant retail unit in an abandoned mall, partially obstructed by broken drywall. A large blank space where the sign was mounted tops a series of wooden panels. A column of yellow tile caps the left end. Restaurant seating is faintly visible in the dark space. The space is a former McDonald's that operated as early as 1974 into the mid-1990s, when it was covered with drywall and the space abandoned.

As a child of the 70’s I have a soft spot for the design trends of this decade! One of my chores at our house was to rake (!) our wall-to-wall shag carpeting 😆.

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky

Record Town, Lincoln Mall - Matteson, Illinois (2017)
#deadmalls #abandoned #recordstore #70sdesign #photography
Photograph of a damaged wall section in an abandoned Record Town music store, dating to the 1970s. The wallpaper features pop art of several bright faces growing through plant stems. A section of missing drywall, to the right, reveals cinder block and concrete -- the mall is under demolition at the time this was photographed.

Forbidden garden

The only view one can now see inside Lakeside Mall is from the glass of its sole survivor, JCPenney. The mall interior closed last summer, pending redevelopment.

Sterling Heights, Michigan
#deadmalls #publicart #mall #abandoned #sculpture #70sdesign #taubman #photography
Photograph of a bilevel enclosed shopping center that is presently closed to public access, only viewable from the entrance to a JCPenney department store. It is of 1970s contemporary design with sunken conversation pits, tall palm trees surrounded by smaller dying plantlife, postmodernist metal sculptures, angular ceilings and hexagonal skylights.
