Ford City Mall opened in 1965 and once was a retail icon in Chicago.
Now, JC Penney---the only store that's still open in the mall---will be the last one to close.
Alderman Derrick Curtis calls Ford City Mall a "safety hazard".
Curtis says Namdar Realty Group purchased the mall in 2019, and he says {quote}:
"Namdar is not going to fix the things that need to be fixed".
Officials say a movie theater at the site of the Ford City Mall will stay open.
