2000 Subscriber Special Non Dead Mall: Hawthorn Mall - Vernon Hills, Il
A regional mall in Vernon Hills, Il, it has over 180 stores and 5 department store slots.
A darling in the north metro, this has fallen into the background of the much larger Gurnee Mills further north. The mall is in the midst of a large redevelopment after a rash of department store closures. We will wait and see.

    Lived near there in the 60s and 70s. My dentist was in the professional building. Used to shop at Albert K, Jackie's Circle, Woolworth, before it was enclosed. Also went to the Mill Run theater for live performances.

    COVID 19 was no accident that was done on purpose to shut the world the hospitals I was told where empty and health care workers where dancing on the internet for brownie points I had the virus and didn’t need a test to know I had it but big box stores can be open during the 3 months it was closed because the CEOs and elites billionaires can cash in their chips

    The Oakbrook and River Oaks malls started out the same, as opened air malls. River Oaks Mall was converted to a closed mall in the 90’s, and lost it’s charm. River Oaks Mall is barely hanging on, with many stores closed.

    We had a a store there (kiosk) Levi store.new owners 30 yrs ago ran us out w/ unbelievable prices. So we couldn't survive.. stores were leaving in the middle of nite. They didn't bring anything to help but took and took. It was sooo wrong. So u all know the truth now. We all had no choice but to leave. It could have worked. Bad management company

    I walked thru Carson’s as it was reducing product and could see the sad faces of employees who had worked there for years. My heart went out to them. I’ve worked at places twice as they were closing. My skill level a,wats kept me employed but the best job I ever enjoyed most was from 1999-2005 . Seeing it close devastated me. Tho getting a new higher paying job right away, even the money didn’t make me enjoy it as much as the store I left.

    I loved this mall. Took my little son there after from oak lawn cause he liked to ride the elevators. I always saw it busy from 1994 when I first started going there til 2004 , after that I saw the decline start when Montgomery wards store. Loved the theaters, a great eatery featuring Schoops hamburgers .

    This was my neighborhood mall and for my Jr. High self in the early 80s it rocked! Montgomery Ward’s for vinyl records, Walgreen’s and it’s restaurant next door for the best onion rings, Stuart’s for the latest 80s fashions, Aladdin’s Castle for Ms. Pac Man and Donkey Kong, and of course the movie theater. We could walk there and be totally independent from our parents. Damn! I miss those days.

    This mall has been in hospice since 2001 when I moved to Texas. I moved back in 2009 and its just sad now. They should've opened that movie theater that was always rumored. This mall is largely being put out thanks to Walmart up the street.

    Actually the mall is in Bradley; their mail is delivered by the Bourbonnais post office as it is a much bigger facility. You note near the end of the video that the Village of Bradley spent $15,000 on consulting for redevelopment. Bradley has actually purchased two of the empty anchor store buildings.
