Everything that seemed like a good idea for St. Louis Centre when it opened in 1985 will be undone as developers give downtown's dead shopping mall an extreme makeover. The basic four-story structure will remain, but nearly everything else will change. The aluminum exterior that a top city official calls "that green-and-white mess" will be replaced by pale green glass. Parking for 750 cars will occupy most of the mall's top three floors. A movie theater and fitness center might go on the second level. And in a move praised by retail experts, what will remain as store space will be turned inside out. Shoppers will enter stores from streets instead of having to venture inside an enclosed mall. |
