Flint-East
Across from Flint-East is a mall called Courtland Center. It was built in 1968 (as Eastland Mall) by my late grandfather. Expansion came in 1986.
When the mall was built, it was originally anchored by The Fair, Federal's, Woolco, and a movie theater. Federal's beccame Robert Hall Village around the 1970s, and shortly after, became JCPenney. Woolco turned into Crowley's in the 1980s. Not long after, The Fair became Mervyn's California, whose reflection can be seen in the pictures of the Gate Lodge. Crowley's went bankrupt in the late 1990s, and Old Navy sealed half the old Crowley's space, the other half of which is still vacant. A Perry Drugs was once located in the mall -- it is now a JCPenney Home Store. The theaters are still open, but are now second-run. The mall technically lacks a food court, although McDonald's, Sbarro, Angelo's Coney Island, and Pretzel Peddler are all concentrated in the same wing. (The mall also had Arby's, Baskin-Robbins, Elias Bros. Big Boy, and possibly a Hot Sam at one time.)
Like the mall, the area around it is doing reasonably well, with an extensive collection of fast food restaurants, a grocery store, a Home Depot, and of course, the Best Inn (nee HoJo's).
Here is a rather recent directory of the mall. I corrected some details.
