Notable Features
Near the food court main entrance a large multi-monitor display once existed showing mall related advertisements. Prior to the mall closing, there were plans to create Mall TV to provide original programming for mall patrons. In addition, several firms were brought in to provide entertainment for mall patrons such as live radio broadcasting, stage plays, town hall meetings, fashion shows and others. These events brought small numbers and some attention but not enough to sustain the mall. In one wing there existed a large metal sculpture of a clown on a unicycle, animated and positioned below one of the ceiling skylights. The sculpture has since been removed after many complaints from decay of the statue.
Notable features included a water fountain in the middle of the mall, which was a smaller version of one that previously existed. Other features included windows in the ceiling that provided natural light inside the mall, bright corridors and a large sun window in the food court.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or features:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
