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:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
