CREDIT: Johnny Joo/Caters News /Picture media ONLINE USE ONLY (PICTURED: A trolley in the mall) - These images might look like a scene from a post-apocalyptic zombie movie - but this overgrown building is actually an abandoned shopping mall. When it opened in 1975, Rolling Acres Mall in Akron, Ohio, was the jewel in the towns crown. But after it closed its doors for good in 2008, it has decayed beyond recognition - with one photographer returning there to produce a stunning set of images showing the malls changing faces throughout the seasons. Photographer Johnny Joos latest set of images show the mall taking on a life of its own as new plants creep up silent escalators, and new life springs from cracks in the concrete floor that once were filled with busy shoppers. An old water feature, once the heart of the enormous mall is now filled with stagnant green water, and parts of the building have started to collapse. SEE CATERS COPY.
