Middle Years
By the mid 1970s, Brookdale began to change, as newer malls were constructed within the mall's original turf. Northtown Mall, built in 1972 in Blaine was one of the first. The Baby Boomer population of Brooklyn Center also had grown up and moved away from home, leaving their middle aged parents behind. During these years, the mall continued to do well, but the area began to gradually change.

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or years:
“You can always tell a Midwestern couple in Europe because they will be standing in the middle of a busy intersection looking at a wind-blown map and arguing over which way is west. European cities, with their wandering streets and undisciplined alleys, drive Midwesterners practically insane.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
“No good poetry is ever written in a manner twenty years old, for to write in such a manner shows conclusively that the writer thinks from books, convention and cliché, not from real life.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
