BTW, anyone remember the "old" Battlefield Mall, back before the big remodelling? It was way more 70's, and instead of crappy kiosks it had these big elaborate gardens and skylights in the middle of the aisles. It was way nicer, IMO.
Battlefield Mall predates NT Mall by...let's see...about 7 years. Battlefield was built in 1970. NT in about '77 or so.

I remember the "old" Battlefield Mall. It was just the part that faces Glenstone. There was a big fountain right in front of Penney's, and there were skylights and big planters with benches. It's lost a lot of its ambience since then...

More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.
