Northland Mall - Second Edition

When Jerry Naftaly wrote Northland Mall, it was rated the #1 New Release – Retailing on Amazon. Northland Mall opened in 1954 and closed in 2015. His Second Edition contains all original images and text of the best-selling First Edition and includes 50 additional pages of Photographs and Memories. This book also includes the proposed plans to revitalize the area following the demolition of the Mall. Northland Mall, located in Southfield, Michigan, was the world’s largest shopping center when it opened on March 22, 1954. Its innovative design was the vision of architect Victor Gruen and the Webbers, nephews of Joseph L. Hudson and executives of the J.L. Hudson Company. James B Webber III, grandson of James Webber, one of the nephews of J. L. Hudson and officers of the Company, wrote the Foreword for the book. Northland featured Hudson’s flagship suburban store surrounded by other businesses selling a variety of merchandise and services. More than just a shopping destination, Northland Mall was a total experience of activity and relaxation, with colorful courtyards displaying sculptures such as the famous “The Boy and Bear” which is featured by the author on the book cover. .
