Here are some pictures from fall 2012, it was a rather dark and rainy night, seemed like perfect weather to spend time in the mall:

Spring Hill mall is a nice place, or can I say was a nice place. This mall does was it was meant to do, serve and satisfy the community, but for how long is the question? Plenty of people shop here, its commonly busy, but is changing trends and becoming run down. This is a great mall, but is also a prime example of what malls all around the country are becoming, rapidly adapting to new trends, but ones that can't suffer and slowly die off, and this one might be Chicago's next dead mall, but only time will tell.
