"Baby clothes." "This place has got everything."

File this one under Our Vanishing Cultural Treasures. The Illinois shopping mall demolished in "The Blues Brothers" is going to be torn down for real. Dixie Square, abandoned for years, opened in 1966 and was one of the state's first enclosed shopping malls. It started to decline about 10 years later, and closed in 1979. Director John Landis rented the 800,000 square-foot mall for eight weeks to shoot the scene in which John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd's Bluesmobile led police on a wild car chase that trashed the building, smashing store fronts, mannequins, display cases and walls. The facility has been vacant ever since. If only they could do the final tear-down with black and white '74 Dodge Monacos ("cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks") instead of bulldozers.
