The upper level adds even more interesting architecture, including the wood bas-reliefs all along the corridor to the right (which we'll be looking at in much more detail soon) and the brightly-colored terrazzo flooring. The upper level seems to have been intended for higher-end shops, very few of which ever actually opened and none of which remain today. The original developers had grand visions of a mall full of luxury shops, but this is by no means a high-end neighborhood, and that mismatch seems to have resulted in a mall that never really got off the ground.
