This is now all gone and (as of next month) will have a swanky Target and a Home Depot Design Center in its place. The theatre sat empty for decades and the mall (I believe it was the Carolina's first enclosed mall) was on the skids for years.
ReplyDeleteThis was definitely the first enclosed mall in the Carolinas, and it will be sorely missed, though its recent past wasn't as glorious as the beginning.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be nice to see the site in bloom again.
Steven, the last photo is mine, and the one previous to that is from the Tax Site. Also, I have pics I posted on UP which you can take of what the Target/Home Depot look like.
ReplyDeletecantnot-- Good to know the source for those two pictures. Someone had emailed them to me earlier this year, Do you have more of Charlottetown? Would love to see them!
