Navidaddy - December 16: Santa Baby for The HIP
The HIP is a mall located on the northwest side of Chicago. It's an acronym for Harlem Irving Plaza, having first opened in 1956. Because of the land-locked nature of the property, it has a very interesting footprint, growing through creative expansion. It originally was an outdoor mall that was converted to enclosed in the late 1970s. While not glamorous, it boasts one of the highest occupancy rates for malls in the area, and is a place I locally grew up with.
A few years ago they stuck Santa Baby for The HIP on their website as part of their Christmas promotions. It's cheesy, that's for sure, but in sort of a fun way.
