I remember when Penn Square opened in the early 60s. It wasn't enclosed until years later. It was The Place for those of us in high school to hang out on the weekends. I have shopped at Crossroads, Quail Creek and Shepherd's Mall. I haven't lived in OKC for many years. Good memories!

They took a beautiful mall and made it ugly with the redesign. That ramp gave it character. They replaced the beautiful fountains with all that ugly garbage. When malls remove their fountains and replace them with eye sores you know the end is near. Edit: And why the heck would they care if you’re recording if it’s the last day of the mall being open?

It definitely had a remodel at some point. I like the original much better. I always preferred the design of malls that were made in the 70s and early 80s over what came later. 90s and early 2000s designs were too much like a white purgatory. Way too much of a sterile look to me.

I was stationed at nearby Tinker Air Force Base from 1987-1990. I lived off base, just about 2 miles south of Crossroads. Actually, I moved every few months for 2 years but always near Crossroads. I'd live alone, get bored and get a roommate. Then I'd hate my roommate and move out. Then I'd get a gf and that's when trouble really started. Anyway, I went to Crossroads hundreds of times b/c in the winter of 88/89 I had problems with a wayward gf and I was such a wreck I couldn't stay in my house I'd drive to the mall 5x-10x a week, go down then up the sole escalator then back to my car and back to my house..over and over again. God what a minx. As an Air Force buck Sergeant I signed out codes to AWACS crews we had a small shop of about 12 Airmen/NCO's we'd lock up our vault Friday midnight but everytime an AWACS took off or landed over the weekend we'd get beeped by Command Post and the standby Sergeant (usually me) would come on in. I had to sign out a bunch of codes due to an alert crew swap on Christmas Day, 1987 and had to drive in one of the worst snowstorms in OKC history just to get there. Most of the codes were "secret" but some were actually For Official Use Only. Well, due to crazy events I had the beeper all summer 1989. I got beeped by the AWACS commander Col. Stark(Sterk?) and he said this FB-111 pilot needed a code to get back to his home base. We were not supposed to sign out codes to any other than AWACS crews. I was nervous I made a decision right then to sign it out to the FB-111 pilot. It was not SECRET it was For Official Use Only. Oh my god the boss of my shop wanted to bust me so bad. He sent a message to the people that controlled that code, telling them what I did. I was nervous as hell but they replied that everything was ok and be sure to get the destruction report from the pilot. Codes had a short lifetime to prevent the enemy from intercepting. Well, I didn't like my boss not appreciating me working 7 days a week so I hightailed it to Korea a few months later. I only have 200 similar stories like this it was the craziest life trust me.

I vaguely remember going to it as Crossroads, but i only went once when it was Plaza Mayor because it had an arcade, had to be not too long before it closed. The whole place filled me with sadness.

Where did you find the dannys day video?

In 2017 my dad and I stayed at one of the hotels right next to this mall, while making our way from Florida to New Mexico. I’m a daily runner, and I can remember getting up early and running around the perimeter road of this mall a handful of times for my route. I have zero history with the area, and this was my first time passing through Oklahoma City. But I was oddly fascinated by this huge mall, that already looked abandoned at the time, but also looked like it really used to be something cool.

Did It sell?

👏 Promo-SM

Cool it has the 90s 740 headlights

Great video!

Went there in early 1999 place was busy orange Julius anyone 😢😢

Love it! Thank you so much for sharing! Love the ride!❤

I remember how in 2014 security would harasss black visitors but would never bother hispanics. No wonder this dinosaur closed

Amazing greetings from sweden

My father went to this school. I was born and raised in Harmon county, and have been to that area several times. My aunt and uncle actually lived on the farm that appears in the video right before you go into the school. Maybe you we’re doing it for entertainment value but Ron is not far off of the highway and you can get there on paved roads.

I had similar one of those back in the day. Still have the mic though , but it was the 773 version.

Born in 73, grew up near 59th and Penn. Crossroads Mall and the skating rink were the hangout spots for me and my friends for the entire 1980s. Blowing through a bag of quarters in Le Mans, sipping an Orange Julius at the food courts, chatting up girls from other schools, no way for parents to check on you constantly. Good times. Simpler times.

I think that they should put an Ames Department Store in there because Ames is a very excellent store thank you.

What ever happened to this mall.

Wonderful condition 940!

My childhood place I loved cross roads Mal I will miss it😢😢

I went to Crossroads when it first opened in 1974. I remember what a marvel it was at the time. It was the first mall I ever saw with a McDonald's inside. Fourteen year old me thought that was so cool. The thought of walking around in air conditioned comfort to go shopping and have fun when it was baking hot outside was just so appealing. I watch this video now and I'm just feeling "what the hell happened"?

This was my childhood I use to go there every weekend with my cousin

Don't feel bad, they are testing all the once nice malls down and replacing them with outdoor town (Mayberry) type

I grew up going to this mall in my childhood in the 70's and 80's I lived on NE 47th street me and my family used to come to Piccadilly's to eat.

That was the mall to go to back in the day wish they fix it up and reopen it.

LOVE your style. I used to have a yellow banana seat bike, haha.

Amazing! Such a beautiful video! Love your car! May God bless you! Thank you so much for sharing!❤️

So many memories! Drone footage was awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! Love it!❤

Awesome! Love the ride! Thank you so much for sharing! Take care!❤

My Mom used to love this mall. We lived on the opposite side of OKC but she would make the long drive to shop there.

This is different version of this National R2R tape recorder which was made for the international market. In the US, it was the Concord 444

There use to be a McDonald's upstairs as well

Excellent video. It's just unbelievable how things have changed. Even with this mall being in the subburbs.

The video is very interesting!

Great vid bud... Hope you're doing well...

REVAMP HERITAGE PARK MALL...SEE INSIDE IT IS INCREDIBLE

always strikes me as funny that theres just an oil pump jack sitting int he middle of a parking lot. Location wise i wonder if it would be a good spot for a mega truck spot. but ht ebuilding would sitll have to be demolished.

Hamilton courts, crossroads mall, heritage park mall etc. What else have the "oppressed" people ruined in the okc area?

Nice car

just barely came across this channel and read that you were just in an accident. hope your recovery has been smooth and great video!

this is another mall i use to love, back in the really early 80s when i was a kid we lived in Midwest City and would go once or twice a month, there was a by the slice Pizza place we would always stop at when we were there and they had one of those big projection TV's that were so awesome back then. and i remember for a good 2 or 3 or 4 years EVERY time we would go n they had this "Making Of Thriller" VHS tape that was playing, EVERY time for years. this place more than the other malls brings back the good memories, this is before my teens and when my father was still fairly healthy and active. those young innocent years and just walking around the whole mall with my father and uncles. and my father was much older than me but my two uncles were both just barely out of high school, so they were still young and cool and it was like having older brothers. and im sure its the rose colored glasses but life just seemed so much better back then and not as hateful as these days.

The house in the thumbnail has a small creek beside it with a bunch of neat looking broken ceramic and pottery around it
