Dead Mall - Metro North Shopping Center

http://www.kansascity.com/2014/04/10...g-tuesday.html

The entire mall, opened in 1976, has recently shut down, except for a Macy's and three freestanding restaurants which remain open.



A new proposal to demolish the mall and replace it with a one story project (2/3 the size of the current mall) has been floated around, however several redevelopment projects have failed at this site, so nothing is certain.

The site at US-169 and Bary Rd is very visible and quite large, so whatever redevelopment occurs, will hopefully be sizable and mixed use with medium density residential if the area demand can support it with the new KCI terminal proposal.

I'm guessing that the opening of Zona Rosa just to the west killed off this mall (along with the general decline of indoor malls).
