Dixie Square Mall
Dixie Square Mall was an enclosed shopping mall located in Harvey, Illinois, United States, at the junction of 151st Street and the Dixie Highway. It stood vacant for over 30 years, more than twice as long as it was in business. It was famous for having been used, both inside and out, for the mall chase scene in the movie ''The Blues Brothers''. More recently, it achieved notoriety because of a growing Internet cult following (including local urban exploration groups) dedicated to covering the mall's deteriorating condition. Like other "dead malls", it had been characterized by high vacancy rates and low patronage, which led to its closure. However, while other dead malls were redeveloped or demolished, Dixie Square stood out due to its extensive neglect, vandalism damage, and sordid history.〔(ABC News Report, June 7, 2006 )〕〔NBC News Report. "Mall Used In 'Blues Brothers' To Be Torn Down." February 28, 2006 ()〕
Since the mall closed in 1978, numerous plans had been proposed to demolish or redevelop the property, though most never came to fruition. The first plan to demolish the mall was developed in the late 1970s, but the filming of ''The Blues Brothers'' prevented this from happening. The mall was then left to decay, due in no small part to a lack of funds (the blighted town of Harvey owned the property itself for the greater part of the last 25 years〔United States Environmental Protection Agency. "National Brownfields Assessment Pilot." (PDF) ()〕).〔〔 For some time, the only parts of the mall that had been fully demolished were the central energy plant, the former Woolworth anchor, and the former Montgomery Ward building. Final demolition began in February 2012, and was completed in May.
Post-2012 satellite imagery shows that the vast majority of the former site is brownfield land. A November 2015 article suggests that the land has been proposed for development as an intermodal freight site.
