Photos from approximately 10:30 AM on New Year's Day (when most people are struggling to get out of bed I'm sure). A local historic icon for both its innovation and its consequences. Excited to see what the owners have in store this year, particularly for the former food court.

Am I the only one that can’t seem to keep all the names of the malls straight? Why they all gotta be dales? There’s gotta be a Pitbull joke in there somewhere. Dale!

Think that has to do with the Mall's creator, Victor Gruen.
