## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Eastgate Consumer Mall, originally Eastgate Shopping Center, was a shopping mall located in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, at the corner of Washington Street and Shadeland Avenue. It was originally an outdoor mall featuring Sears, JCPenney, and H. P. Wasson and Company; a re-development in 1981 changed it from a conventional shopping center to an outlet mall. After years of decline, the mall closed for business in 2004 and was re-purposed as industrial space.
