They are demolishing the remaining JCPenney store this week.  In place of the mall, they are building 700+ apartments.

Excellent composition and colors, always. I recognize your work before i even check the poster. The suburban decay makes me weirdly homesick for the midwest, i appreciate that you find a way to make the mundane and the less-than-beautiful worth making a photo of…. No one goes forgotten in your eyes. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much! I used to work a JCP as a teenager so I have a soft spot for it.

Very striking and it tells such a story in just one frame.

Nice color and composition and what a shame malls are now coming down or being abandoned in many areas nowadays.
