Towns and cities who wanted to attract shoppers to spend their money in their locale were convinced that a regional shopping center would be a magnet as a place for people to come together to shop, dine and be entertained. Hawthorne was no exception to this development dream. What the Hawthorne Plaza Mall did was to pretty much displace the “downtown of Hawthorne”. Since 1975, Hawthorne has been in search of an identity. With the closure of the mall in 1999, we have had no downtown and no central community gathering place. Our closed mall may have been the forerunner of a trend. In a recent article, Emily Badger states that, “Today about a third of America’s existing malls are "dead" or dying. That’s not to say they’re mostly vacant. But they have dreadful sales per square foot. High-end dress stores have moved out, and tattoo parlors have replaced them.” She goes on to add, “In 2010, Columbus, Ohio, tore down the dead mall in its downtown for a park. Voorhees, New Jersey, demolished half of its dead mall, built a new main street and relocated its city hall into the remaining building. In Denver, eight of the area’s 13 regional malls now have plans for redevelopment. One of them, in suburban Lakewood, was converted from a 100-acre super block into 22 walkable blocks with retail and residences.” “You’ve got to get a mix of uses, but the connectivity is probably even more important. The uses will come and go over time, but if you can establish a walkable network of streets, that’s when you’re really going to establish a ripple effect in changing suburban patterns." All of this information is interesting, but the fact remains that our Hawthorne mall is privately owned and the mall’s owner, with the city’s approval, has the final say on what will eventually happen at the Plaza site. We have waited a long time for something to happen. We can only hope that a vision will evolve and all of the stake holders will come together to give Hawthorne a “downtown”, a “heart and soul” and an identity very soon. WORKSHOP TODAY The “mall question” is not included, but the question regarding how the rest of Hawthorne Blvd will look is the topic of a community workshop to be held on today, March 13 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Polaris Room of the Memorial Center. You can visit the city’s website or visit the Facebook page entitled: Downtown Hawthorne Specific Plan to get more details. The Memorial Center is located at 3901 West El Segundo Blvd. MALL TRIVIA New South China Mall is the biggest mall on earth, and you would expect the biggest mall on earth to be in China. The mall has a small number of stores at 47 stores though. The reason is that 99% of the mall has been vacant since it opened in 2005. The mall has a lack of accessibility and a suburban location that make it hard to get people coming into the mall. LAST CALL FOR GOLFERS The 25th Annual Hawthorne Parks and Recreation Foundation Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, March 24 at Coyote Hills Golf Course in Fullerton. There are still openings for golfers. If your company wants to enter a foursome, or if you are an individual wishing to play and support a good cause, then contact Dick Huhn at 310-643-9157. STATE OF THE CITY Mayor Brown will deliver his first State of the City Address on Friday, March 29 at noon at the Memorial Center. Tickets are $50, however if you wish to attend and do not want to pay to eat, you can come and listen to the program with special seating for the general public. The mayor has promised that he has some very exciting news to announce at the luncheon.
