Md.: Mall's Comedown Taints Lerner Image
What is left of Landover Mall is located next to the Capital Beltway in Landover, Maryland. You can see a map of the area on Google Maps here.
The site of the mall is between Brightseat Road and the Beltway. To the south of the mall is FedEx Field, where the NFL Washington Redskins play.
The Post article seems to imply that Landover Mall was killed by its owners, the Lerner family (who are the new owners of the Washington Nationals baseball club). I disagree. I believe that the development of far too many high-density, low-income garden apartment complexes (such as the ones along Brightseat Road, across the street from the mall), and the crime that has come along with those apartments, has much more to do with the death of Landover Mall.
