Vacant space in the middle is for rent, Crocker Park Shopping Center, Westlake, OH.
Is it possible to make a newly built “un-mall” look more authentic? Would it imporve the retail traffic if the landlord were to infill with “mom & pop” tenants, including their home made store designs? A good question? I don’t know the answer, but I could not resist the impulse to see what one might look like installed in the vacancy above.
