Edit Request 3/29/14

Could a list of stores and restaurants that were once in the Rolling Acers Mall be put on the page? I know that Wendy's used to be in the food court. Some stores were also former chains. --24.147.1.197 (talk) 22:41, 29 March 2014 (UTC)Jacob Chesley[reply]

Replacing that ghastly lead section pic

The pic of Rolling Acres as it appeared in January 2014, all boarded up, is what currently appears above the description box. I suggest we change it. There's an immaculate pic of the mall's storefont circa 1992 on a website called Detroit Urbex, and because I don't own that picture, I don't want to be the one to try to upload it because I wouldn't know how to give proper recognition, etc. But regardless, I think the lead section pic above the description box should show the mall when it was at least still in operation. I notice that when public figures pass away, current pictures are replaced w/ pics from when they were much younger. Perhaps a similar criteria with widely known brands?
