Dixie Square Mall is a derelict shopping center in Phoenix, famous for its starring role in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers, where the mall chase scene was filmed. Since closing in 1979, the mall has remained abandoned, its empty corridors and decaying storefronts attracting urban explorers and photographers. The site is fenced off and not open to the public, but its exterior and parking lot offer a glimpse into a bygone era of American retail and pop culture history.
