Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee), who has been instrumental in pushing the Springfield Mall project forward, holds up chunks of Garfinckel’s Department Store as souvenirs of the iconic mall’s demolition, which began on Monday, Nov. 26 with the destruction of what was originally the upscale Garfinckel’s (and later became a Sports Authority.) “The exterior demolition is a strong signal that the mall renovation is well underway,” McKay said, adding that he keeps pieces of Garfinckel’s in his office along with other remnants of Springfield’s past.
