There was a shoe-store called Marlin's that had a vaulted ceiling with dark wooden beams and had 2 42" AB fans with schoolhouse lights; I'm assuming they were NuTone since their blades were curved like that of a Sea Island. The store had closed in the late 80s and the fans had since been removed. Do you remember anything else about the fans? If the sidebands were ornate, they were Verandahs. If the motor housing was still the 52" size, they were Sea Islands If the switch housing was disproportionately large, they were Haciendas If they were spinners, they were Slimlines. I have visited a number of malls in various cities recently. At least two of them were quiet old and did not appear to be recently remodeled, but none had fans.

The ones I'm referring to had no vents on the faceplates.

I dont recall any with no vents. Many had closed vents, i.e. instead of felt they were solid metal, but the design was still there.

I believe there's already a thread about this somewhere, I'll see if I can find it. Before I do: When I was a kid, all of the major malls had fans. The west one had a lot, I remember specifically three Fasco Charlestons in a body wash store. This was unusual as Fascos were not sold around here. Ruby Tuesday in the food court had Hunter Summer Breezes. I dont remember what other stores had fans. The east mall had TONS of stores with fans and even the kioks had 36" spinners. However I only went there once. The south mall is the only one that had fans installed in the actual mall area, not the stores, they were second gen Envirofans similar to the ones sold today. There was also a Hallmark store in the mall with two of the same fan. There are two smaller west malls, one had a Mexican restaurant with several Four Seasons? and a sporting goods store with 10 or so Nutone industrials. The other had many many Mosses in clothing stores, Encon Monarchs in a shoe store, a Carribean Breeze over some dressing rooms, Nutone industrials in a gift shop, Carroways in a grocery store, a CEC spinner over a watch counter, and Homesteads in a restaurant. Of everything that I mention, only the Nutone Industrials (in both locations), the Encon Monarchs, and the Carribean Breeze remain. Could this possibly be the thread you're referring to, Dan? ada19851985.proboards25.com/index.cgi?board=chains&action=display&thread=2413It's about another mall in the Pittsburgh area, which isn't (and never really was) "hoity-toity" like the aforementioned South Hills Village.

I know I mentioned the Parkway Center Mall in that other thread, so I'll elaborate more on it in this thread. I went to said mall in November of 2006, and the whole bottom level was closed to the public. There were only like 5 stores there which includes K-Mart (probably the only thing keeping it alive), which has 4 white 42" Hunter Originals in the cafe section. However, there was one Tuxedo rental shop that had a PB Hunter Mayfair 5-blade with a 4-light kit. Back in the day, they had a Petland which had an AB SMC U42 in the back which was always running on high.
In a nutshell, that mall felt no different than walking into a funeral home, since it's obviously DEAD.

In Stephen's Hair, does the Venus have those 3 small rings? Because in one of my catalogue PDFs, you could get either the Fabbian light kit or the ring kit. And where is this hair salon, anyway? I'd like to see it. Or maybe you could send a pic.
Sorry, I'm just a sucker for that fan.

My local mall was built in the late 1970s, but was remodeled several times, including in 2007, which was the latest remodel.
The counter-only Subway in the food court had 2 BB Hunter 44" Coastal Breezes on 3" down rods, always running on high, the food court was moved outdoors in 2007, the CF's are gone.
The Hallmark had 3 Emerson 52" Northwind Traditional Snuggers. They were removed in 2007, when the store remodeled, now the rough-ins are capped off, but you can still see the rings around the rough ins where the CF's used to hang.
The Shoe Dept. had a couple of PB 52" GEV Builders. The store got moved when Borden's Books and The Shoe Dept. both moved out and a wall was knocked out to make room for a Charlotte Ruske store in 2007. The Shoe Dept. moved to a new spot in the mall in a newly-built location, and now there are 5-6 Emerson Brushed Nickel Builders on 3" down rods.
Now, the only place other than the Shoe Dept. in the mall that still has CF's is a newly-built Bonefish Grille, which has a 52" Craftmade Patio Seres in Black outside, and a couple of 52" Craftmade Patio Series in Black in the Main Dining Room.
The other mall, which is near my grandmother's house, had a ton of cool CF's. The Ruby Tuesday had a sinlge Black Emerson Northwind 52" in the bar area, and a dozen PB Emerson 52" Northwinds in the restaurant area. The CF's are long gone.
An iced tea stand in the food court had 2 GEV 42" White Builders, all of which are long gone.
The Shoe Dept. still has 52" PB GEV Builders.
A Fuddrucker's, built in 2005, has a 3" down rod Craftmade Decorative 52" in Black in the ordering line, and a 52" 12" down rod Craftmade Patio Series 52" with Brown Leaf blades in one sitting area. The place used to be a sit-down Burger King with no CF's at all, but Burger King moved out into the food court where there's a counter-only Burger King. The place remained part of the food court up until Fuddrucker's was built in 2005, and then CF's were installed.
The Friendly's had PB Craftmade 52" Decoratives on 3" down rods with light kits, but they were replaced by Red Craftmade 52" Decoratives without light kits on 3" down rods in 2002-3. These CF's are in really bad shape, and 1 shakes like crazy.
That's all I can think of now, will add more later.

UPDATE: The Hallmark finally decided that it was way too hot without fans in their store (the one that took down 4 Emerson huggers), and they put up three white Harbor Breeze Classic Styles, 52" size, new-style, in the store where the Emersons once hung. They put them up just recently. The one rough-in cover is still up with no fan because of the height of the shelves in that location. The one fan wobbles really badly, but hey, it's cooler in that store now!
Another update is that the Fuddrucker's with the Craftmades closed due to Fuddrucker's bankruptcy. It was replaced by a Red Robin that installed a lot of copper-colored Modern Fan/Period Arts Fan Company Industries.

Dulles Town Center has/had caged Dayton industrials in some sports clothing store (I went back there recently and couldn't find the store).
They also have AB Hunter Passport IIs or IIIs in some cigar (I think) store. They might actually be Summer Breeze IIs.

The closest mall to me growing up was in Gaithersburg, MD. I don't really remember them having too many fans in any of the stores. I think some furniture or shoe store had some Hunter Originals but I don't think they're there anymore. The one neat thing I do remember was the Sears there had a full fan display but they got rid of that years ago.
The mall in Jacksonville, NC had a few fans in it, most of them just generic builder type stuff, nothing really vintage.
There are a bunch of malls here in Norfolk/VA Beach however none of them really have many fans. When I do see them they're just more generic builder stuff that I really don't pay much attention to.
