So this morning I explored an abandoned mall in a suburb of Chicago. Most of the mall closed in 1978, and it was completely abandoned by 1981. The mall chase scene in The Blues Brothers was filmed there.
Below are a few of the photos. The rest, and a short history of the mall, can be seen at http://www.urbex12.com/

Go in from around the corner of the new senior citizen apartments. There's a police station on the other side.
