The Dixie Square Mall, was abandoned in November 1978. Filmmakers of The Blues Brothers obtained a permit to shoot the scene involving a car chase inside the shopping mall in Harvey. The filmmakers remodeled part of the mall and simulated retail activity for the film scene for two days. After filming was completed, the mall was boarded up and closed again.
