Which part of the Galleria will they demolish? Macy’s or Sears? or both? ---

this should be a fun test on how a community reacts to high density and taller buildings in a low rise municipality.

I can live without that building. It’s kind of run down. I’m elated that the garage is coming down too. I hope that Magnotta’s relocates. They have good food. ---

**White Plains Galleria** “No pictures,” the mall’s rent-a-cop shouted at me earlier today when he saw me taking photos at the Galleria. Thankfully the local Paul Blart did not pummel or tase me. So I got out of the Galleria without getting physically assaulted, which is an achievement in itself when you see how desolate the place is. Surprisingly he did not have me delete the photos from my phone. So without further ado, here it is - “Last days of the Galleria: The Forbidden Gallery” : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/4/8/48575000fe9ec4ef754ed3ff6d0704d2a9aef293.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/2/1/21f10b5b89f7c820a89e67a3a6a172c2acbc798f.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/5/7/5747a26d9becfc05bc927574171081acb502230e.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/d/0/d065dd7104fc02a796e0b146655d82014709e506.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/c/a/ca683109051ae036519fff4f87c4a088e0ff97c0.jpeg) Don’t think I’ll be coming back. It is scheduled to close within the next month and will be replaced by a mixed-use high-rise complex. I feel bad for Mr. Blart - he’s getting lonelier with each passing day. ---

This anathema cannot close soon enough. WP has a bright future. I would not be surprised if The Westchester comes down within a decade. They could make a much smaller retail area that focuses only on the high-end shops and could have a lot of upscale condos. ---

I spent so many of my teenage years at the Galleria and seeing it so vacant gives me a heavy feeling in my gut. So sad to see its current state given all of my memories. I’m glad they’re moving on from it though, time to put all that land to a much better use. ---
