The Dec. 6 editorial "For N.J. mall, a makeover or Wreck-it Ralph moment," about the Echelon Mall in Voorhees Township, stated that a Wikipedia page about demolished shopping malls in the United States did not list a single New Jersey location.
That information is incorrect, since I visited on a couple of occasions earlier in my life a New Jersey mall that I consider to have since been demolished. It was the Seaview Square Mall, located near state Routes 35 and 66, at the northern end of Neptune Boulevard in Ocean Township.
I've even edited the Wikipedia page about the mall, as anyone who has created an account on Wikipedia can do.
A new shopping center also known as "Seaview Square" replaced the enclosed mall, and is currently anchored by such stores as Target and Big Lots. To date, I have only been in the Target store, yet I imagine I eventually will stop into some of the other stores there.

Editors' note: The Wikipedia page apparently is not the ultimate authority on "demolished" malls, although Seaview Square's individual Wikipedia page classifies it as "repurposed." The same may be true of Wayne Town Center and Mill Creek Mall in Secaucus, which online commenters also say were demolished.
