This mall used to be Richardson, Texas’s premiere mall. It’s one of few Dallas-area malls that is not fronted to a major expressway. Simon owns this property and, rumor has it, this mall will be razed and a strip-style mall will take its place. These pictures were taken March 24, 2007.
UPDATE: Destruction of RSM has started. See the new pictures at the bottom.
