"Before Eastfield Mall Died - Retail Tour in 1992"

You can add Eastfield Mall in Springfield, Massachusetts the list of dead malls across America. It is scheduled to close in the summer of 2023. Before the final nail is put in the coffin take a stroll down Retail Memory Lane and explore the mall when Eastfield was bustling. I found this video in a file cabinet from December of 1992. A friend captured all of the storefronts that once lined Eastfield's landscape including a Carousel! The stores you will see during the holiday season of 1992 in this video include shops that have disappeared and went belly up and others which still exist in 2023.
