Urban Decay #5: Rolling Acres Mall

A film can - bring your own pen. Although allowed, I would recommend against night caching.
Rolling Acres mall was the young kid on the block - two levels, a first in the area, and had that new-mall smell in 1975. At one point there were 140 stores - it was THE mall to be at. Today there are 2 stores open after power to the mall was turned off due to lack of payment.
URBAN DECAY is a process by which a city, or a part of a city, falls into a state of disrepair. It is characterized by depopulation, property abandonment, high unemployment, and a desolate and unfriendly urban landscape.
There is no single cause of urban decay, though it may be triggered by a combination of interrelated factors, including urban planning decisions, the development of freeways, and suburbanization among other factors.
Some of the physical signs are vacant buildings and stores that are neglected and deteriorated.
This series of caches attempts to point out some of these physical signs and make us realize how valuable our parks and green spaces are. Once they get swallowed up and converted to shopping malls and parking lots there is no going back.
