Eastland Mall
5471 Central Avenue
(http://www.eastlandmall.com/). once the largest mall in the state, eastland has seen better days. located at the intersection of central ave. and sharon amity rd., it has reflected that area's decline from its upscale origins. eastland is still generally a safe place to shop, but the experience has been made considerably less comfortable by negative press arising from gangs and robberies at the mall and surrounding area. however, there is hope on the horizon; a new transit hub located adjacent to the mall is expected to pump some life and money back into the area. includes a ice-skating rink and a movie theater that specializes in "g" and "pg" films; anchors are burlington coat factory and sears.
