was there a few months ago what a change do not like

I lived and worked here 2 summers over 30 years ago. Some of the best memories I have...

I could tell you stories about some wild times there late 80s/early 90s... the buildings I recall aren't standing any longer.

I miss all the greenery, moved away many years ago but this was where I hung out growing up in the 90’s

Spend a lot of time there in the 90's and 00's and still visit now and then. I think the modern design makes the mall look like a big meat-processing factory, clinical and cold and easy to clean with an industrial pressure-hose. No warmth whatsoever. And the overwhelming majority of shops is now clothing and lifestyle. Where are the software, music, gadget, book and toy-shops? I know modern times. But why would one go to the mall anymore? Apart from the food-court, which still excellent!

I went there in 2000. It was a nice place, great food, a bit retro but it gave it it's charm.

Nice video. I've often thought how fast those building collapsed,but I guess when the snow piles up on the roof with no heat inside to melt it It doesn't take very many seasons to collapse it.

Went there with my ex fiance in 2001 or 2002. We must have been one of the last guests before they closed. I remember it being so out dated. Still looked like the 80's.

Looks like an extention of port authority now.

Not every room had a pool. - that was an extra charge. We looked into staying there in 1999. The brochure concerned me because the pictures all screamed late 70s/early 80s and told me nothing was often updated. For roughly the same price we stayed at Paradise Stream, with a pool in the room.

If this vacation resort was thin in business now, this place would be over 50 years old if the business would’ve kept running but back then, the place opened in the late 60s or possibly earlier than that because this place was much nicer and beautiful and it’s hay day, because lots of couples would come hereto have fun and meet other people who are out there and joining themselves also.

We stayed here in 1999 in one of the small cabins with the indoor pools. It was fun but I remember thinking how outdated it was.

Hot Shoppes, The Purple Room, and Fun N Games circa 1979. The memories…

Loved going to Barricini Candy with my grandfather.

The time that took 😮! Well done Ryan! ❤ love it! Also love Bumblebee! Thank you Katie and Ryan!!

😂 too funny! Keep it up!!

😂 well job Ryan! Can't wait to let the girls know we have videos to watch!! ❤️Seilers

that is so cool. Your edits continue to blow me away

I was born in Bloomfield in '93, I wish I could afford a place there now.

This is awesome!

Look so sterile now, like some kind of Institution

Ahhhh Willie's diner! 2 dollar large rice pudding in a coffee cup with a cinnamon stick

I didn’t particularly care for Sears until I started to buy Craftsman tools and bought a dishwasher for my mom from them. I can’t say they were or are my favorite retailer but I’d given them the business if I wanted something they had.

It’s odd to me that when a Kmart closes up shop, they take the logo down and spray paint the street sign, but when a Sears closes, the logo and everything else seem to remain (most of it, anyway). At least that was true of the Sears from my hometown; the only time it saw any modifications were when the Sparrow Health System opened up the drive thru Covid testing site in the old auto center.

Haven’t been in the mall in 6-7 yrs , last time I was there my buddy’s punk band played the men’s department in Macys , before that I hadn’t been in there in maybe 25 yrs. It looks so sterile now , nothing like it did when I hung out there on the weekends through the 80’s & early 90’s. They should have never taken the fountain out in the middle , that was one of the best parts of the mall.

excellent. thanks!

I hate it when they removed the fountain! Just in order to squeeze a couple of tiny stores in that spot. 🤮

Where do you park?

i moved out of nj 21 years ago...spent alot of time in the late 80s in that mall...surprised its still there(open)

I wish there was a comparison for the Exton Square Mall as well. Apparently, both malls were Rouse Company malls that were revamped by Cee Jay Frederick Associates.

Comparing the old and new photos and one thing I've noticed was that the foliage that was in the mall all over the place really made it feel welcoming, like it was actually worth going there even just to read a book. I honestly think they could have still kept it AND add the open sky top ceiling to draw light in for the plants, but I guess because I guess the cost of maintaining such beauty wasn't in their budget, so take the shortcut instead.

Not sure how this got in my recommended's but, I grew up in Lake Hiawatha/ Parsippany, NJ 1961-1979 and when I was16, 1977 me and my best friend went to the Willowbrook Mall to see a Band from Long Island called The Good Rats so, while we were there, me and my buddy decided we wanted to look cool 😎 so we chipped in an bought a pair of Cubic Zirconia Earings and got our ears Pierced, we each got one in our Left ear, I'm 62 now and have the same hole in my ear from that day and have a real Diamond Stud in it now, when I was 25 living in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. a chick who lived in my neighborhood did ear piercings so, I got a silver Ring above the stud, just in case anyone was wondering, Lol! Cool video, lots more memories there, Peace ☮

Summit was a beautiful place went there in 1988 with Vincent Calabro who broke my heart

did you end up buying anything

A shame they just announced they'll be closing this location. I definitely need to go soon to get one last look at it.

Spent my entire 80s and 90s there and wouldn't remember there was a Stern Brothers anchor store if you paid me. How bizarre.

it was a magical place to go as a kid in the 70s

Haha perfect song choice. It’s amazing how your closet was able to hold such a collection. Definitely worth keeping. Amazing collection! I’ve spotted Seaspray haha. Armada Megatron 4:02 I remember playing the Armada video game on the PS2. Great memories!
