The Red Hoodied Manatee

So, if you've been following this site at all, you know my obsession with the Summit Park Mall. There's a story behind it. I wasn't paying much attention when the mall closed in 2009. That was a complicated year, I had much more to occupy my attention. I really didn't pay much attention until it made the news in 2013 for flooding. I really started paying attention to it in 2014 when Zoran Cocov bought it. Since 2014, I've had the occasional dream about the mall reopening. By last year, there were becoming a regular occurrence. They had various iterations: fancy upgrades, elaborate constructions: not really the mall, but still had the malls name. Sometimes I walked it in my dreams abandoned: it still held its mystique. The most recent one was actually mentioned on this site . That one held the mall closest to its original setup, complete with goofy sports stores and food court.

Hey y'all, It's almost summer break here in the fabulous land of Niagara, and I'm really looking forward to the summer. Also, it has become absolutely clear that the Summit isn't opening anytime soon. :( Here's a photo of the gate to the mall in Sears. It's been blocked off with a wall for years, but if you listen carefully, you can hear...nothing. The mall is dead. You can hear silence. But hey, sale on Everlast: go get it, girls! Anywho, I'll keep this site going. Like that hoodie on the right says: "DON'T EVER QUIT!"  I even updated the homepage like I said I would. -The owner of this dang site.
