Lackawanna Plaza was a small shopping mall in Montclair, N.J., built in an old historic train station that dates back to 1913. Roughly 10 years ago, the anchor tenant, a Pathmark supermarket, closed down and whatever stores were left in the mall followed shortly thereafter. It went completely dark.
Recently the old mall has reopened as Lackawanna Station, an event space and art hub, along with a couple galleries, a bar, stage, record store and some pop-up retail. But what has visually transformed the ghost mall is the murals that surround the space, including on what used to be the walls of the old Pathmark.












Very cool! I hope other communities will be inspired to do the same.

What a lovely way to resuscitate a mall. I love when places come alive with murals.
