Demolition Looms for 'Blues Brothers' Mall
Scene of epic indoor car chase will be torn down after more than 30 years empty
With police cars speeding down its walkways and smashing through storefronts, the Dixie Square Mall was destroyed on the inside more than 30 years ago in an epic chase scene from the 1980 film The Blues Brothers. After sitting empty for all these years, the mall will finally be demolished.
Federal funding has come through and demolition contractors will begin tearing down the 600,000 square foot mall later this month, the Chicago Tribune reports.
