Before there was Beacon Hill Shopping Center, the Beacon Mall was in the exact same location. When you look at the picture below, some landmarks and shapes are very recognizable. For example the water tower and the profile of buildings remains much as it was. Today the "big boxes" of Lowe's and Marshalls are in the same place. Famous Dave's is nowhere to be seen. It's also interesting to notice the cars that are in the lot.
