Christiana Mall

In June 1864, the Wilmington City Railroad Company opened the city's first trolley line, including Delaware Avenue to Rising Sun Lane. Middle Depot was located at Delaware Avenue and Dupont Street, close to the B&O Railway passenger depot.

Located north of the city of Wilmington, Delaware, in the unincorporated Brandywine Hundred area along U.S. Route 202. The mall is located a short distance south of the Pennsylvania border and it attracts shoppers from Pennsylvania and other neighboring states wishing to take advantage of tax-free shopping in Delaware. The mall opened in stages over a period of several years. The first of the mall was an Almart, a now-defunct discounter, which opened in 1965. In 1971, a Pomeroy's (now-defunct department store chain) was added. The Almart later became a Jefferson Ward (Montgomery Ward-owned discounter), and was then a Bradlees for a brief time until it was demolished for a Sears. It contains over 90 stores and is owned by Allied Properties. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>
