An enclosed mall of more than a million square feet opened on Cermak Road in 1975 behind three anchors, JCPenney, Carson Pirie Scott and Montgomery Ward. It was developed with Melvin Simon and Associates, whose firm went on to become the largest mall owner in the country. Two of those three anchors are long gone and one of their boxes has stood empty since 2018.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
