    I grew up in this mall. Watched it die and come back, die and come back. Each time more empty then the last.
  • @kapppz
    I've heard that financial groups are rethinking these old malls by creating apartments out of the storefronts and then keeping the food, theaters and playgrounds thus making whole "towns" out of something currently obsolete. I would love an apartment like that.
  • I swear this place looks like it's flickering in and out of reality, just the tiny handful of people still walking around like nothing's wrong in an otherwise dead mall is surreal.
  • @SpaceMango
    The fact that you can hear voices but not really distinguish any words or sentences in the echoing distance makes it even more eerie. I love it, i wish i could visit this place.
  • @lisaclark1181
    These empty malls are so weird to me. As a 70s/80s kid and teen, malls were our lives. Never thought they would just die out.
  • Honestly walking around in a mall is great exercise. You'd be surprised how much you can walk just walking around a good few hours in a mall.
  • I love the colourful, early 2000s late 90s futuristic style! It’s really amazing how it’s been pretty much preserved
  • @gamepapa1211
    Let's all be honest here: this episode will nowhere be nearly as awesome without the looming threat of Segway Man. It's like survival horror game or something.
  • @tomrogers9467
    “Filming in the mall is against the rules”. Well, you sure wouldn’t want to upset the hordes of shoppers by taking their pictures!
  • @co2144
    abandoned malls make me really sad for some reason. and that closing soon sign that that one store put up made me sad too because no one is going to see it so theyre just going to close having had little to no customers but they still chose to put up a sign

    I just visited this place thanks to this channel! :) I only live 2 and a half hours away. My husband and I visited just a few days ago. The bouncy house is open. They were having a party when we walked through the mall. And the arcade you can play games for $5 an hour. That little business is actually doing well to be in a dead mall! Kohl's closed last month. The last anchor store(the arcade) will be leaving in September 2022. They approved demolition for the mall. :/

    There’s always something kinda sad about seeing an empty/almost empty shopping centre. Like I can imagine at one time, 15 - 20 years ago there would have been hustle and bustle and loads of open shops. End of an era I guess
  • @Bonbon54220
    It’s really sad that there are hundreds of malls like this in the US. Seems like such a waste. That is one huge mall.
  • @kroneyt1493
    Shopping malls are gonna be an ancient relic in some time. They're all being closed and replaced with shipping warehouses and that's just sad.
  • @theduffster1985
    I wish malls still looked like this architecturally speaking. It’s so fun and interesting
  • @AnthonyWayn3
    I went here with my camera once and still got to stay in, i just took a friend with me to be my "model" and wanted the mall as a backdrop. The guard told me the reason they don't want videos etc is because the owner doesn't want footage and pictures of it looking abandoned online lol
  • @adamabel7437
    This is 5 blocks from my house. The sad part is they still decorate it for holidays
  • I'd love to see places like this converted into apartments, markets, etc.

    Update & fact: In 2021, one of those security guards was convicted of threatening a woman with a knife while on duty, and had previously been convicted of killing kittens and storing them in his freezer. And to current date, there is another security guard on duty that is known to be extremely aggressive obsrssive about people filming/taking pics and regularly makes visitors feel unsafe. Half of the recent reviews of this mall mention their incidents him.
