The picture above was taken this morning (Monday). Except for the Sears mall entrance sign and entrance planters, there is no other indication that Eastfield even existed. For the first time in 56 years, we can see what the lot looked like before the mall was built. Sears was built first and was operating while the mall and other anchors were being constructed. I wonder if the mall went up the way it came down. If that’s true, it is rather fitting that Sears entrance still remains. I wonder what will happen to the entrance sign. It’s a shame it can’t be incorporated into the new development. The developers have a real chance to save a piece of history.

Take Care!
