Devin Greaney's Mall of Memphis Picture Collection

October 8, 2006

Devin Greaney contributed these images to the site. His pictures show a much happier, brighter mall than we typically remember these days. Kids on the rink, husbands on the benches and wives shopping 'til they drop. These images of mall life are some of the very few we have that depict the Mall of Memphis the way it was experienced in its better days. Fun. Busy. Cool. Christmas decorations up, Santa in the house. Live local bands playing, no doubt for some special event or party. Life was good at The Mall of Memphis.
