Anchor successions for every centre carried

1973–2019 · the two boundary centres; Osceola: no centre, no succession

University Park Mall, Mishawaka (from art-54-6, completed): Sears, 1979–2019, box vacant since; L.S. Ayres, 1979, becoming Macy's on 9 September 2006 in the Ayres fleet conversion; Hudson's, 1980, becoming Marshall Field's in 1997 or 2001 (printed whole in art-54-6), Marshall Field's closing in 2006 and demolished in 2007, its ground rebuilt as The Village lifestyle concourse (110,000 square feet), within which Barnes & Noble opened in 2009; JCPenney continuous from the centre's early years to the present anchor set. Scottsdale Mall, South Bend: L.S. Ayres; Ayr-Way, becoming Target; Montgomery Ward — the three anchors of the 1973 opening (or 1971; art-54-7) carried to the centre's 2003 demolition without a surviving successor on the enclosed ground; the succession resumes open-air at Erskine Village with Target, Kohl's, TJ Maxx, and Ross. The gap in the Scottsdale succession is named rather than smoothed: the year-by-year anchor changes of its decline (1980s–90s) were not read whole, and the Polk and Tribune directory runs for Ireland Road are their settling source. For Osceola's own centres the succession table is empty by the tested negatives of art-54-3 to art-54-5 — no centre, no anchors, no succession to gap.

Sources: as art-54-6 and art-54-7; conversion dates from the malls' reference records.
