History
Springfield Mall opened in 1974. Original anchors included Bamberger's and John Wanamaker. The Bambergers was converted to a Macy's in 1986. John Wanamaker closed in 1995 and was reopened as Hecht's the same year. In 1997, the Hecht's was converted to Strawbridge's. Strawbridge's closed in 2006 following the sale of its parent company to the same parent company as Macy's. The building has been sold to Target, which expects to open sometime in 2009.
On October 30, 1985, Sylvia Seegrist, a 25-year old paranoid schizophrenic, went on a shooting spree in the mall, killing three and wounding seven others until she was disarmed by other shoppers. [1][2]
