	Dixie Square Mall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The filmmakers left the mall in bad condition, as it was used for the famous car chase scene where Elwood and Jake destroy much of the mall while being chased by Illinois state troopers.
		Weather was harsh on the mall, and the mall sat decomposing, decaying, and deteriorating.
		The mall's canvas roofing is also removed at this time, allowing water, snow and other debris to enter the mall, causing further decay and plant overgrowth inside the mall.

	Dixie Square Mall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A decaying shopping mall shuttered since 1979, the Dixie Square Mall is an economic reflection as well as centerpiece of the heavily depressed south-side suburb town of Harvey, IL once known as "the gateway to the south suburbs".
		The buildings stand as they were when the mall was closed in 1979, with the slow but inevitable effects of harsh winter weather, vandalism, and a new growth forest slowly spreading across the crumbling parking lot.
		The mall is at the 15000 block of Dixie Highway.

	Dixie Square Mall; Harvey, Illinois » Labelscar: The Retail History Blog
		Dixie Square Mall was located at the intersection of 151st St and Dixie Highway in south suburban Chicago.
		I’ve also learned a lot about the Dixie Square Mall, most notably that the mall was used during the chase scene in the original Blues Brothers movie in 1979, and that a young woman was raped and murdered in the abandoned JCPenney store in 1993.
		The rest of the former mall doesn’t appear to have been touched by the demo crews yet; however, access to the mall is sort of limited (by car, anyway) due to the fact they placed a fence around the entire property.

		The mall furnished vast, sheltered space, a place for people to see and be seen, and, unlike the city, it was perpetually clean, well-lit and safe.
		Its managers and remaining tenants may insist that not only is their mall not dying, but with a little sprucing up, a new anchor, or a just-around-the-corner uptick in the economy, it could be healthy as a horse.
		Dead malls tend to be smaller, covering an average of 46 acres, compared with 70 acres for their thriving cousins.

	Reason Magazine - Hit & Run > Shop at Gormenghast
		In my hometown of South Bend, IN, the malls sprang up in the late 60's as strip malls, and then in the 70s and 80s as the indoor type- the large physical area that these structures occupied lent themselves to the low-price farmland areas outside of town, rather than the higher-priced areas downtown.
		Malls are built by a corporation which then sells them to another owner to rent out the space, or creates a subsidiary to do so.
		Dixie Square Mall was the place to go in the late 60's to see things that the mall would bring in and display in the center court.
