SouthPark | 1975

From the collection of Patrick Richardson comes these photos of SouthPark, Charlotte, North Carolina. These were all taken in 1975 in the main wing outside of Sears. They are a little dark, but very interesting.

According to Patrick, "If you were facing Sears, the stores on the right side were Richman Brothers, Julie's, Thom McAn, and Chess King. I believe Pet-A-Rama, Stride Rite, and Brittains were on the other side of the aisle. The area directly in front of Sears was very open and had huge columns and large sky-lights."

Thank you to Patrick for these contributions.

Patrick Richardson found a great aerial photgraph of Ivey's SouthPark from an old edition of The Charlotte Observer. You can see Belk and the mall entrance in the background as well.

Thanks again to Patrick for these contributions.
