Thanks for posting the pics. Westland mall still seems to be doing OK. I was there for Christmas shopping in 2007 and it seemed to be quite busy, though I don't know what it's like on a non-Christmas-time day. I have very fond memories of Northland from when I was a kid, back before they enclosed it. We used to ride our bikes up there [[or even walk the 5 miles occasionally) and cruise around the mall on them. Felt like an adventure riding over there - especially when you had to ride down 8 mile to JL Hudson Drive! [[or was it Northland Dr? or the freeway service drive?) The old shopping centers have changed as well - I lived right near Grand River - Greenfield when Wards/Kresges/Federals were all there, along with many other stores, and also have great memories of hanging out there as a kid. That was a poplular place to go and hang out for a while.
