Empty Storefronts of Milwaukee Mall on North Avenue

Milwaukee Mall sits empty along West North Avenue, its ground-floor bays fronted by metal security grates and faded signs once advertising phone cards, jewelry, and clothing. The building operated for years as a discount retail arcade before closing, leaving its upper-floor windows broken out or boarded over. Nearby stands a church spire with a working clock, part of the older commercial corridor that once anchored this stretch of North Avenue.
