A look at the rich history and stories that lie within Northridge Mall’s walls

It's the beginning of the end of an era.
A Milwaukee neighborhood has endured more than 20 years of boarded-up doors and windows and fenced-off parking lots. Starting Wednesday, Northridge Mall is finally coming down.
Demolition began Wednesday morning on what was the old Boston Store. However, the building wasn't an eyesore for everyone.
Long-term north side resident, Dorothy Nolden, said she remembers when the mall was vibrant and alive.
"By the grace of God, when I seen it on TV this morning, oh I was coming. I've been here since 11:30, and I'm gonna be here until they demolish it. I just want to see a part of my history leave, but not leave my heart," Dorothy Nolden explained.
Dorothy Nolden's heart holds a special place for Northridge Mall. Memories of her own, her kids, her grand kids and even friends.
It was a family affair for the Noldens, but it was more than just mall visits.

Northridge mall was a beautiful Mall and I hold great memories shopping there. Now, I shop at Mayfair. Crime is High. Hopefully it will not be the next Demolition.

I worked at Gantos there. One of the girls in the video was my co-worker! I think her name was Nakesha.
