I had to watch with the sound turned down. Too sad

I’m at this mall right now watching this video. It’s 12:46 HRS Eastern Time 8-20-2024. Sitting on a bench caddy corner to Zales upstairs.

I really miss that mall...

“Century III Chevrolet Lebanon Church Road, Pittsburgh! Minutes from the mall!”

Sooo sad, what a trip down memory lane. I remember every single one of those stores, feels like it was just yesterday.

You still got that bench?

Great concise summary of the mall’s history. This was a really awesome video. Great for my attention span.

I heard in the news they’re still demolishing the mall, it’ll be a long process because it’s a large structure. I’ve been binging on dead malls lately and just sad to hear all these malls dying and closing just these past a couple years alone. Some are already extinct, no longer standing on earth. When malls were thriving were times most of us viewers here cherished the most. Our youth and the fun times we had at malls before we took in the responsibility of adulthood. I’m now in my 30s but remembered the times of shopping with family and taking the bus or be picked up by my friends to go to the mall to hang out. The youth today don’t have the same experience like we had. It’s so sad and I’m just reflecting on the nostalgia. I prefer shopping in the malls than online. I hate going through the hassles of returning clothes & shoes that don’t fit. I end up giving them away, hard earned money wasted shopping online. Thanks for documenting this mall. Just subscribed. 👍

Now the mall is getting torn down they started tearing down the parking deck and now the mall is going to torn down

Thank you for this! I was born in 1979 and grew up going here quite often as my dad worked there when I was a kid. Many a Friday evenings were spent wandering around the food court, buying Penny candy, playing vid games in the arcade, checking out the pet store, and checking out the large bird cage!

May I ask you where you got some of the photos from the reason I'm asking is my deceased husband is in one of the pictures and I'd love to be able to get the actual picture thank you

is there a video without the music and sounds of that day?

If Simon Company took ownership of Century III instead of Moonbeam, then it would still be around today instead of getting demolished.

DON'T DEMOLISH IT! ill tell you the truth i rather repurpose it !

wait a minute there's a skate park at 0:39 ??

band of horses the funeral is perfect for this video !

Such a great mall i love it despite how dead it is there is no other mall i rather be than Century iii and its all thanks to Moonbem investments they ruined the mall the vibe the atmosphere and OUR LIVES! GO TO HELL MOONBEAM!!

Wow! What an awesome choice for a song.

Awesome memories of riding the train all throughout the 90s. We went every year until the place was closed

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO SHOP, I DO MISS IT SO. SHOP THEIR ALL THE TIME.

I loved that ! So cinematic. Came to see the mall, but loved seeing all the people❤

My grandmother transcribed the doctors notes there.

Out of all the malls in Western PA, Greengate always had the best Christmas Decorations imo.

The magic of Greengate Mall will never be captured again. Great video.

The good old Days.we don't know how good we Had it Shame on us All Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Memories all

I want those dinosaur statues so bad

I remember there being a flea market on the hill after the mall was destroyed or near the end of the mall's time

The sideshow pizza footage is amazing!

Along came Walmart and Amazon. It’s a shame, because people are looking for things to do. Fairs in the summer are usually crowded and fall events are busy. Do we all just want to sit home? Covid destroyed a lot of business owners and opportunities; unless you had deep pockets to weather the pandemic. The mall could have been used as an indoor amusement park, farmers markets, car dealerships under one roof, first of its kind indoor university campus and technology center with dormitories. But gangs, and kids out for a thrill daring each other have ruined that mall into oblivion! All those shops could have been class rooms! Imagine an indoor amusement park when the snow is flying. Sadly those flat roofs once damaged end buildings pretty quickly. I still like to kick the tires before buying. However outdoor malls are thriving? One can only wonder what other uses this mall could have been? As big as it is an assisted living community with post office, banks, doctors offices and grocery stores. Takes imagination and wealth of many people to make these things realistic.

"Ur father's mustache" 💀

I highly recommend watching this video at .75 playing speed. Otherwise you’ll be pausing every 2-3 seconds trying to see the photos.

Terrible place. The people lie here. They scam and steal! Don't let the friendly people fool you! There's a lot of bad here especially the government

I was born in ‘77 in west Mifflin and lived 5 miles away from century 3. I literally grew up in this mall. Almost every weekend we went shopping there. I got my first job there at Sears. It was really like a second home. So many friends and good times spent there. It’s hard to believe that it’s gone.

This hit harder than it should.

The world is a sad place nowadays 😢

Approved for condemnation today 😢

Man! Brings back alot of great memories, my first job was at Wendy’s in century 3 mall 95 i miss those days 🥹

0:41 LOL 😂

Malls were a great awesome place to be …. Especially around the holidays ……. U didn’t see decorations till after thanksgiving….. now. Early September…. Wouldn’t even think of going to a mall today….. u get robbed .. shot or see brawls constantly…..

Yesterday was so much better than today, sad to see it go 😭

My local mall is closing July 15th. Eastfield Mall Springfield, MA. I've gone there everyday for the past week shooting photos and video of everything interior/exterior and taking it all in. To be honest, it's not the loss of the mall that's bothering me (that too) but the loss of my childhood. I'm 50 and the 1982 Sears Christmas Wish Book seems so long ago.......

It seems from the pics of the 80s and 90s that they kept the lighting darker which looked better because it hid those gaudy 1970s era ceiling panels. In the 2000s when they made the lighting brighter you could see those ugly ceiling panels and it cheapened the look. It made it look outdated which didn’t help. If future malls are going to go with the brighter look they need to make the ceiling more appealing because it is more visible. They got away with having those ugly ceiling panels in the 80s and 90s because of the darker lighting. Those ugly 70s looking ceiling panels only belong in office buildings because nobody will care because they hate being there in the first place.

From a vibrant part of the prosperous 1980s and 90s to a decaying burnt-out deathtrap of the modern day. I can remember seeing an urbex video inside the ruins from last week, showing briefly the facade of that Waldenbooks from the Mindhunter set- the shadow where the sign was the only mark of what had passed, but even that was an illusion of what actually was there back in 1992.

I miss the 80s...

Beautiful video! Thanks for posting 😢
