Headlines: CNN, Bridge Michigan
From Bridge Michigan:
Michigan helped to create the enclosed mall in the 1950s when JL Hudson opened a department store to anchor Southfield’s now-closed Northland Mall.
Michigan-based Taubman Co. embraced mall development across southeast Michigan, opening Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor in 1973. It followed with Fairlane Mall in Dearborn and Lakeside, both opening in 1976.
Like Fairlane, Lakeside’s look was fresh and interesting in a 1970s way: multiple levels and walkways; skylights; sculptures; a glass elevator at center court, next to sunken and sculptured seating.
