The Euclid Square Mall is not abandoned or dead. The Mall tenants have been shifting the function & purpose of the structure from retail establishment into a faith based community center & places of worship. There are still some retail stores changing the way they do business to survive. Everyone is working toward something that has never been seen. This is a simple documentation of transformation.

Entrance on 260th
This is the entrance to the mall on 260th st. There are several buildings that are vacant as you enter Euclid Square Mall Drive on the left and right, one appears to have been a Red Lobster. The aging signage being slowly absorbed by the foliage of the tree lawn gives the feeling of an abandoned place being taken back by nature. The trees and grass are rather well maintained though so that a strange feeling begins to occur. The general absence of people and the occasional maintenance of others illustrates a struggle between decay, life and rebirth that is happening inside the mall as well as around it.
