My favorite memory was shopping at LOFT with my mom. Simple memory, but LOFT is still one of my favorite women's stores and we loved the one at Crystal Mall. Mom's no longer here, so it just feels doubly sad to see this...nothing is forever. Not meaning to be maudlin here...just how it feels watching this. I've seen lots of "dying mall" videos, and only just saw this today, as your video popped up on my YT...you did a nice, thorough walk through and commentary. Tks!
I'm sorry for your loss. Sometimes it's the simplist memories that really mean the most 🥹 I'm happy that you can hold such happy memories and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed my video, I really enjoyed making it! Thank you for your kids words.
@@WalkingZen8505 Yes...grateful for lots of happy memories and a long life she had. Thank you. :)
Sad. Unbelievable how fast from 2019, my last time to shop there for Christmas, to now. Too bad, man. I mean, some malls (I guess only few) ARE surviving. Don't know why this died. I used to always shop that Macy's, was sorry to see that go. End of an era has happened right under all our noses, pretty quickly. Has happened over time, I guess, but feels like suddenly, overnight!
Can the Buffalo Wild Wings somehow keep the entire fall afloat? It seems like it's trying to, anyway.
I'm not honestly sure, I've heard mixed reviews about it and for the size of the restaurant I don't often see big crowds there. They first have to worry about if they're keeping themselves afloat and after that if anyone from the restaurant is then visiting the mall (and vice versa)
After the eyeglasses place next to cohens it became a headshop called smoke city if i remember and i thought it was kinda insane having a headshop in a mall but hey great glasswork they had
Oh yeah I remember that, if I'm remembering correctly I don't think it was around long 🤔
I had been a new london native for the longest glad to see this video i am in hartford for now and bleeehhh miss the coast so much
What a shit hole...
Sad.
springtime in Hartford is so beautiful
This was one of the first videos I took with my new GoPro, so I'm trying to figure out where to set the video stabilization. As a head-cam, I think this was a little much 😅
Thanks for watching!!
Excellent coverage. I did Sailfest 2024: ruclips.net/video/4lh91FoOrEg/видео.htmlsi=dv58JxY5SrfsRWR4
A historically significant video. It will be amazing for people to watch this 50, 75, 100 years from now. Excellent work.
You are correct about JC Penny. Slow liquidation until the final 2 weeks, then it was pretty much strip mined. Nothing but assorted unsellable clothes and ton of fixtures left with 2 days to go. Now, just a memory.
Grazie per il video. Lord & taylor e Marshall chiusi. Bei ricordi!
Grazie mille! 🙏🏻
I remember when I was little I would always go to the Crystal Mall with my mom sister and grandma before going to the beach. I grew up in Glastonbury but I now live in New Orleans. We would sometimes go to the Burger King back in the mid 80s to early 90s before going to the beach or one of the other places to eat at it and also do some shopping as well.
Wow that's so cool! Thanks for sharing that, I love how much I've been able to connect with former residents! I hope you're enjoying New Orleans and if you ever come back to visit, I hope CT welcomes you warmly!
The store on the corner was a champs
That's right! Thanks for reminding me 🙏🏻
Verizon moved across the street where the old Wendy's used to be.
you're so right I forgot that was a standalone store now.
@@WalkingZen8505 a lot of stores are moving now sadly. Bath and Body works is moving over to the Best Buy plaza across the street and the same with either lens crafters or Cohen's (can't remember which one though). Rue 21 is gone, it's a ticking time bomb right now.
There's the slightest vague smidgen of hope that the mall will survive, as the former owner Namdar Realty - a notorious dying mall slumlord owner - recently sold it to some other outfit, but as the old expression goes, breaths should not be held. It's far more likely there's a wrecking ball in its future.
I think the best I'm hoping for is that whatever happens will be for the best and bring the most happiness to the most people. Undoubtedly there will be people unhappy with the outcome no matter what happens, but you're right. We'll just have to wait and see.
This video was a long time in the making! I had a great time filming, talking to the mall's GM and prepping for the release of this next entry into the Dead Mall series. Thanks so much for being here. What memories do you have from Enfield Square? Are you in favor of or against the proposal of this new complex to be built in it's place? Let me know below, let's have a conversation. I've got a lot more in store for the future, let's go together! ⭐

My family and I lived within walking distance of Shepherd of the Sea chapel when I was a Navy Chaplain at Groton. We were there when the organ was purchased from a Presbyterian church elsewhere in CT through an unofficial purchase arranged by the Senior Base Chaplain and the SubBase CO. The case for the organ was constructed by Seabees and I actually wandered in one day when it was being installed and connected a couple of the wires that ran the organ. The chapel really wasn't that old, maybe late 1950's more likely '60's. It was never used to its potential but seeing its abandonment and destruction still is saddening.
Wow that's an incredible story, thank you for taking the time to share with me! I can't imagine the depth of the emotion for a place you had such a personal attachment to being in such a shape. Since my exploration, someone has sealed every broken glass opening and way in so I hope that no further damage will be dealt to such a beautiful chapel. I myself remember when the Seabees installed the playground while I was a student at William Seely Elementary school in the early 2000s. Thank you very much for your service and for sharing this with me.

Video and take as many pictures of this place as you can. My hangout mall closed 2019 and is being demolished now Century III Mall. Malls are disappearing
That's a really good idea actually, I'll have to go back and take some pictures too.
Amazing ❤❤❤

I'm not used to such beauty, peace and tranquility.
It really is a beautiful place, it's so peaceful and relaxing to just sit on the beach and listen to the waves and the happy people
@@WalkingZen8505 You are SO fortunate. I live in the rat maze. Always searching for that cheese. Never finding
@Joe-pu3qi I feel the same very often believe it or not. Last night I heard a quote that's inspired me, it said "start where you are, use what you have, do what you can." Once you know what you want, be relentless in your chase of it! Make a plan and you'll get there 🙏🏻 I'll be rooting for you!

You should get an electric bike, and mount a camera to it....
it's funny you say that, I strapped a battery and installed a motor onto my bike and a head-mount for my camera is coming in the mail today!
@@WalkingZen8505 Hell yea!
this is so soothing and peaceful. i love the bridge footage, never saw it from that angle before! i just want to watch it again and again and i haven't even finished watching this time! 😂 ❤❤
I botched the color editing though, thats my only complaint :(
I went 2 the food court....... Just ta eat!!!!! I bought a paint brush in sears!!!!!
Radio playing "Tin Man" By America at the 11:27 mark. Not the most popular '70s song
The spot you said was a Subway was definitely the Burger King in 200-2003
I remember it being one spot over where Pizza Hut was most recently but you may be correct
Oh yeah, back in 2000-2001 there was the kid Mr Sparkles working at the Burger King there. Every time we went into the mall my friends and I would interact with him ha. And the fat short female custodian with a huge mustache we'd all laugh about. She was always there. We were 15 after all haha.
Damn. We used to go there from 1998-2003 (when we left CT) and I can at least say that up to 2003 the place was doing great, like any thriving mall. I can't believe it's so dead. Crappy economy? Or is it just that everyone buys everything online now? The record shop upstairs...I bought my copy of Relayer, Tales from Topographic oceans by Yes, in 2000. I bought the VHS of Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii there too, same year. And lots of other CDs.
I think it's a combination of both! Online shopping is so cheap and easy and stores are just getting more and more expensive 😞
dying malls like these always seem to have a vintage/ collectible toy shop or something along the lines. A mall near me is super dead and 3 out of like 10 stores open in there are collectible shops
I've noticed that too, I think retro toys/collectibles are a very popular niche right now and coupled with malls offering lower rents to bring in stores makes a very attractive environment for store owners and shoppers looking for these kind of opportunities.
Local 17
31:26 Guess the mall will be “Anchorless”
I find I enjoy mall tour videos infinitely more when the person giving the tour is an expert on the location. Kudos for your work here, and thanks for sharing!
Oh wow that's so nice of you! Thank you so much and I'm so glad you enjoyed! 😎
It would be great if the mall could be replaced with at least an indoor skatepark, at least one restaurant, at least one retail store, and a Car Wash with a site layout very similar to the WashGuys Flex Service site in Frisco, Texas at Preston Road.
that'd be really cool too! something new and exciting maybe.
Sears was one of the few anchors that didn't rent the space from the mall but rather they owned their own building. The stores were built actually independent of the mall structures so the store could stand stand even if the mall is gone. Other stores like Dillard's and Macy's could just open and close a it was a store or even move from one end of the mall the otsir because they were just renters but Sears and JC Penney owned their own structures which made it hard 22 make quick Changes. When you own and are stuck with so much real estate it's like trying to steer the Titanic
"how do you know?" ♥️ you forgot to say bigggg stretch 3:21
From New York Queens but it's always saddening to see videos about these abandoned, shutting down, or in financial chaos. These Malls still remind me of Flushing Mall which only stayed around till January 31st, 2015. So a happy 15 years. Since it began in 2000. So I saw its existence from when it was very popular, to when many didn't often come to it, to when it shut down. So I've seen basically all its evolutions and this reminds me exactly what it looked like at the end of its life cycle. The place was always fun to explore, but also scary due to its liminal feeling it had. However even years after, remnants of it still exist, always used to get the Dorayaki Fish which is a sweet dough shaped into a fish with red bean paste, An Asian treat. A lot of fond memories and always made my day. Sadly it eventually disappeared, unsure where. Which is a shame. Besides that, the last remnants remnant i per-se would be a food court, which consists of the former restaurants who worked there. Just a bit to the left of where the former mall once stood. A bit of history that is forgotten by many. If you weren't from the area. Thanks for the memories.
Wow, that's such a beautiful story! It must have been thrilling too see that mall be so popular and so sad to see it fall into ruin. I can imagine the sentimentality. Thank you for sharing this with me, your memories are so meaningful! ❤️🔥
Looks like a great mall! To bad people don't spend their time and money there anymore. What is the main reason for this demise in your country of the malls? Is it to far away or to expensive to park?
It was a really great mall back in the day! I personally believe it's a combination of rising prices and online shopping being cheaper and easier for a lot of shoppers. 😔
Everytime I see these dead malls I think to myself why cant they turn these into apartments. They could easily keep some business. Coffee shops and eateries. Even a grocery store. That would be super convenient for residents of the apartments.
Apartments were my thought too! Even keeping the food court open, putting apartments above with a mezzanine looking out below. If you're familiar with the old William Seely Elementary school in Groton (now becoming Triton Square Apartments), I thought the existing school building would have made great studio apartments.
I blame the new owner Namdar for neglecting the mall. Many of the better stores left once Macy's closed about 3 years ago. If you are looking for a better mall, be prepared to drive at least an hour to Westfarms or Warwick, RI.
Our spring hill mall in illinois just closed down. A few days ago i remeber a few 6 years ago it was sooooo full people everywhere now its like a haunted mall no wonder it closed down :( thanks spring hill mall for memories and nostalgia!.
Great video. I've gone to the Toy Vault many times over the years and glad to see it is still thriving in that mess. Your friend's tabletop center being open "select hours" is part of why the mall is dying in my opinion. He might want to "select" to be open more often... The Toy Vault wouldn't still be there if the owner didn't have the passion for it he does.
Great video. I used to go to the mall back in late 90s early 2000s when I used to work at Foxwoods Casino
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed! I love hearing how many people also enjoyed the Crystal Mall, it really was a great place in it's day.
oh my Jesus man ❤
