Northlake opened on 6 October 1971 as the first mall in DeKalb County built around three anchor stores, Davison's, Sears and JCPenney, on more than eighty acres of what had been the edge of Tucker. It was one of the very few Atlanta malls that never carried a Rich's. The anchors went one at a time, Davison's in 1986, Sears in 2018 and JCPenney in 2020, while Emory Healthcare moved offices into the emptied retail floor. The interior tenants were ordered out and the mall closed for good on 29 June 2026.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
