Jul 20, 2009
(HARVEY) Dixie Square Mall, known for being in the movie "The Blues Brothers," caught on fire Monday night.
The fire started at the abandoned mall, 15300 Dixie Hwy., in Harvey about 6:20 p.m., said Harvey police spokeswoman Sandra Alvarado. Alvarado said the fire was elevated to a box alarm, and was extinguished about 7:30 p.m.
Alvarado said the fire was inside the old Sears department store, an anchor tenant in the longtime-closed mall.
"It's [Sears] all abandoned, all brick, and pretty much just walls," Alvarado said. "Its hollowed out."
No injuries were reported in the fire.
