Solon Branch

Meeting Room (70)

Take a photographic journey through dying and shuttered malls in Northeast Ohio with the Akron native.

Jessica Anshutz will share her photographic journey into the emptying (and empty) malls of America’s Rust Belt.

Anshutz has been documenting the decline of shopping malls since 2016 and sharing her findings on Instagram.

Relive some of the highlights of Northeast Ohio’s mall era at this program, which includes local history while focusing on mall properties specifically.

This program is supported by the Friends of the Solon Library.
