Eastpoint Mall closes after 70 years 

Eastpoint Mall shut its doors on Monday.

Rumors have been circulating all summer that the mall was set to close on Aug. 31.

Eastpoint did place a note at one of its food court doors confirming its last day was Aug. 31.

Eastpoint opened as an outdoor shopping center in 1956 before converting into a shopping mall.

In 1991, one of the closing anchor stores was converted into the food court and a Sears store was constructed at the end of the mall.

The mall has not released a statement on the future of the property.
