Talk:Southroads Mall

What's the source for the Younker's and Dillard's? It is incorrect to state that "Originally, Southroads Mall was only a one level mall in the beginning but later on, the bottom level of the mall came to be." The basement level was always present, though sparsely rented. During the remodel in the 1990's the west parking lot was excavated to allow direct access. Both anchors and at least 3 of the smaller tenants (Youngtown, Woolworth's, and Hallmark) occupied both levels with internal stairwells connecting the levels. This is a personal recollection from my childhood, so I do not have another source to refute the original article.

The wide sidewalk separating the stores from the east parking lot covered a tunnel. That tunnel contained the receiving departments of many of the stores, or at least communal loading docks for them.

Whereas many modern malls have a limited number of outside customer entrances with individual stores being accessed from the mall hallways, many of the stores on Southroads main level had outside entrances. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.244.29.2 (talk) 21:25, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
