Theatre Closed and in 1999 Star Theaters Opened. Went to see most of the flicks from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone to The Sum of All Fears Then AMC came in and brought the theater and made the place became boring!

However inside Fairlane. There were shops galore. Lord and Taylor, Sears, Saks Fifth Ave. JCPenney and the lots of cool exotic stores. The Food Cafe came in to attract teen crowd and every Saturday lots of teens [[ especially) the riff raffs from the ghettoes from Detroit were crowding in the Mall. After series of fights and arrests. Taubman Co. decided to strict curfew of keeping kids out after 5pm. every day unless they are with a adult escort.

Later Lord and Taylor closed was turn the unless Ford Motor Company Annex and also closed. Saks closed and demolished into an Italian and Chinese Bistros. Sears closed and whole second floor at the Atrium was turn into a H&M Clothier. Fairlane has its time and memories and most of Mall rates are shifting to fancy exotic malls like Somerset and Great Lakes Crossing. And soon it will be on the list of dead malls like Tel-Twelve, Universal Mall, Livonia Mall, Wonderland Mall and the once Historic Northland Mall.
Yup, another pristine suburban landmark ruined by "those people" from Detroit.

Definitely not another racist suburbanite rant, attempting to paint everyone from Detroit with the same brush. Brooks Patterson would be proud...
