In the sleepy city of St. Jo MO, lies a small, very modern mall, that of which is completely dead.. Kept open by JCP, Maurice’s, and a lone Bath and Body Works, is East Hills Mall. A beautiful, and fascinating mall. A mall which told its elaborate history through the jagged architecture. Despite all of the modern renovations, East Hills Mall still retains its 1960s roots, as the very first mall in Missouri. In one of the malls entryways near JCPenney lies an elaborate timeline, dating some of the mall brands throughout the years, providing some history, several historical photos, and giving just a bit of its tumultuous history.. This board, and these modern renovations were all added in 2008, and since, the mall mall has fully succumbed to the retail crisis. Losing all of its stores in a dangerous domino effect over the last few years. Rue 21 is one of the last namebrands closing with the companies complete liquidation. And it really is only a matter of time, for the rest of the mall.
