University Mall is the largest mall in western Alabama. It is located at the intersection of McFarland Boulevard and Veterans' Memorial Parkway in Tuscaloosa, the busiest in the city. Owned and managed by Montgomery-based Aronov Realty, the mall opened on August 20, 1980.〔 Anchor stores of the enclosed mall include J.C. Penney (), Sears (), Belk Women () and Belk Men, Home & Kids ().〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Leasing Information: University Mall, Tuscaloosa, AL )〕 The only outlier properties on mall premises are branches of Regions Bank and Cadence Bank. The property where University Mall now stands was previously home to the ruins of World War II-era Northington Naval Hospital and associated support buildings. These ruins were finally destroyed during the filming of the climactic scene of the 1978 Burt Reynolds film ''Hooper''. The ruins of the hospital had lain derelict for many years and included a few dozen buildings as well as two immensely tall brick smoke-stacks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Claims to Fame: Northington General Army Hospital ) 〕 A few of the old barracks buildings remained until 2000; they housed the Tuscaloosa City Board of Education offices until they were relocated to the old Tuscaloosa High School (later Tuscaloosa Middle School) building on Queen City Avenue. On April 27, 2011, the mall was damaged by a powerful tornado that ripped through Tuscaloosa killing dozens of people. The mall was directly in the path of the tornado and sustained moderate damage. ==Anchors== *Belk Women *Belk Men, Home & Kids *JCPenney *Sears 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University Mall (Tuscaloosa, Alabama)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
