The Sears store at the Richmond Town Square Mall is finally coming down as part of the demolition to repurpose the Richmond Heights property into a mixed-use retail and multi-family residential space.
On Tuesday morning, an excavator ripped at an entrance of the building while cameras rolled.
Visitors who used to shop, eat, watch movies, loiter and misspend their youth at the mall shared their memories on our Facebook Page.
The effort is part of a $200 million project that will revitalize the area with 375,000 square feet of retail space and more than 800 apartments available for rent.
