Title: Dixie Square\'s cousin?? (River Roads Mall)
Post by: Jag67 on June 21, 2005, 07:28:37 AM
Here's an abandoned mall just like Dixie. River Roads mall of Missuouri. Opened in 1967 and closed in June of 1995 due to high crime. Another mall in a poor area. And yes, the mall is truly abandoned.

EWWWWWWW. I think this was Dilliards.

This was Penneys huge store. This was built with the mall in 1967 and became an outlet store (!!) in 1984 due to lack of business. It closed with the mall in 1995

I'm thinking that maybe Funway Freeway was an arcade...I have found some online articles talking about tokens from Funway Freeway, plus the name sounds like an arcade to me.

Cool! The story of this place sounds a LOT like the story behind Dixie Square... Mall closed due to high crime in the area, last operating tenant was a grocery store, plan to build housing on the site... Hmmmm....

Cool pictures, thanks for posting them.  How did you get inside, and more interestingly, how did you get on the roof?

I wonder how many more abandoned malls like this one and Dixie sit across the country that we all dont know about?
