I'm surprised Westland is still kicking. Sadly this may truly be the death blow just as Hudson's departure did to downtown. I haven't been to Westland in quite a while but it seemed in its death throes when I did the following 'ring of death' photoshoot in 2009. Several big box stores and strip malls had sprung up along the perimeter road of the core mall. Most had failed. It gave meaning to the long-running nickname for Westland among my truck-driving days friends: Wasteland.
