I know you said you don’t give out locations, but this has to be the mall that I always used to go walking around with my family back when I was a kid, it brings me back so many childhood memories!
If you share the location/name it will get wrecked, trashed destroyed. I'm not going to delete your comment but we would appreciate it if you edit the name out.
I did edit it, but I do remember going trick or treating at this mall one year back when I was a kid and the chair in the middle was where the carousel was placed!
That chair has been there ever since, I love Halloween!
Same here .. it's so sad 😞 to see it like this .. I love this mall
Let’s urbex and chill sometime
For any children of the 80’s & 90’s this is truly heartbreaking! As good as the internet is it’s destroyed so many things too 😢
Yeah true
HAL IS REAL!
No, that’s too easy. I worked in retail for too many years to see how lazy Advertising departments were and actually still are. The internet should sell directly to you, but should also be used to drive you to want to seek out store only. Clicking on items will never replace good customer service.
Retail didn’t get digital media fast enough and then they didn’t utilize it well enough. They still don’t.

I love my old malls in kitchener ontario 😊
Would be cool if these abandoned malls were turned into apartment complexes having an indoor neighborhood/community. Could have a few small stores and restaurants as well.
Would be pretty cool
Sounds expensive.
You mean like what Victor Gruen originally intended?
I absolutely love how it looks exactly like it did back in the day. I wish I could go back to that time frame..I was still young in the early 90s, I wish I could have been older so I could have enjoyed those days more.
Definitely a cool looking mall
WOWWWW YOU DON'T READ MY NAME
@@Urbex_Offlimits WOWWWW YOU DON'T READ MY NAME
+Vikki Sixx - You're plenty old now...
That is exactly how I feel about the 80s.
What amazes me about the lights still being on is that you can tell this mall didn't just close the week before---you don't get water and roof damage that quickly, this place had been closed for awhile. I always wonder why they still leave the power on? It wasn't to power the security system, which wasn't even working
I know that is pretty crazy and always seems to amaze me, these abandoned places are nuts. Many more videos to come lots on hold so stay tuned. 🤘
Leave power off. It can be a fire hazard.
I always turn the lights off even if they were on already.
I assume they keep the power on so the pipes don't freeze and cause more issues.
These abandonded malls are sooo sad,,, thinking of all the people shopping, talking, buying,,,happy times,,,,what went wrong....
Everything good comes to a end
Honestly, I think September 11, 2001, was the beginning of the end, followed by 2002 recession, 2008 financial crisis, and now Covid. How can you maintain an upward trajectory when the bottom drops out every decade? Most of the old anchor stores are defunct and there is no one to replace them. Sad to witness all this in my lifetime.
@@katemayer862 couldn't agree more you are so right I was born in 1972 was a kid in the 80s started working as a kid in the 80s so my generation has faced all this stuff the 80s was the last great decade.
We lived in times a plenty compared to now. Long gone era peeps.
@@Urbex_Offlimits she's right, the 80's was truly the greatest era to grow up. The early 90's was good, but by the late 90's it started going downhill very quickly. I'm a few years older than she is.
I actually like all the groovy colors. Today everything is so bland, with the only available colors being white, gray silver or black. Thanks for posting.
forreal love all the colors too! thanks!
@James Cartwright True, but I still love colors. Maybe that's just me, but I was born in 1967 and grew up in the 70's and 80's. I miss those days.
It is sad seeing a mall that was once visited by hundreds of people in a day, to now being forgotten. How many memories were made here? How many artifacts left behind?
Lots of memories and lots of things left behind in the backrooms
I can't believe malls from that far back even exist anymore in that state. Reminds me alot of the 1960s and 70s malls in the Orlando area that were all torn down 20+ years ago. Killer video!
Thanks yo 🤘🤙
Y'know, I love how not only everything was left here, but how it also looks like something went terrible, terribly wrong here. Like, I wasn't the only one getting those vibes from everything being knocked over, right?
Kinda creepy in some areas no doubt
Like a giant flesh monster terrorized a group of kids 😳
If someone in the 1970s and '80s could see this, they'd think the world had ended by now. That's the only thing that could explain why something as central to life as a mall could look this way.
Or…. Like a zombie out break that got quarantined just in time before they let the public know…..
@@GNo03 STARCOURT MALL??!!
This place looks so rad when you got in! I watched a video from a few months ago and it's completely destroyed now, nobody respected the time capsule and just ruined whatever was left 😔
I went here as a kid a few times and was driving by today which made me want to look it up. Thank you for capturing this video!
Sucks people wreck stuff was a very cool place, I saw some recent photos its bad now. glad you enjoyed the video!
This is my mall. I spent many days in this mall as a kid and alot of money lol. Aw I hate to see it in that state. In the 90s it was great and my mom worked there in the 80s. I literally took pictures a few times at that photo place. Bringing back all my childhood memories right now ❤️
dang crazy there were a lot of photos left behind too
@@Urbex_Offlimits I bet those were the display pictures that would hang on the walls. Instead of advertising they would just ask people if they could use their picture for the background choice and put it on the wall.
Ah yeah huh
Where is this mall located?
@@kevinjackson422 California, I don’t remember the name but I remember seeing it doing research
The amount of items left behind is unreal. Especially that photo shop.
For real photo shop way probably the coolest that and the backrooms and office
Hy can u tell who’s shadow at 3:03 ?
i fell so calm an peace seeing these kind of videos..
Ah that's good enjoy my friend!
I've often wondered why this old abandoned Malls weren't refurbished into individual apartments?
Good question
to redo the HVAC/electrical, plus all the building material required would not be worth it. You would still have a 40 year old building with all kinds of nastiness in the walls. These places were huge energy hogs. Maybe if these malls were architectural gems, but most of them were monstrosities.
To rezone, then bring the property up to code for living space, then individual hvac. Electrical, and water for every unit you would spend more than the whole property is worth or have to tare up and out so much it would be recognizable and cost more than the property is worth.
Sad to see so many malls empty. I miss going to the mall. The ones around me a lot of stores are closing and it's just not as fun as it used to be.
It's all online now, sucks
WOWWWW YOU DON'T READ MY NAME
@@Urbex_Offlimits WOWWWW YOU DON'T READ MY NAME
What's up Candy!🤘
Yeah, mine has half the stores closed.
What a cool old mall, I dig that 1970's architecture of the main part of the mall with all the arches.
Same favorite part of the mall with the neons
I grew up going to this mall in the mid 80s well into the 90s and early 2000s. This mall was the go to when I was in jr high and high school. This mall was built around the Harris department store. It had a movie theater a Montgomery Ward and JCPenney's and a carousel. It's unfortunate what it has become. So many great memories.
True
Montgomery Ward? Your age is showing🤣🤣lol. The youngsters of today wouldn't know what Monkey Ward was🤣
Yes, i grew up in the 80's, so i know the places you're talking about.
@@timothygeiger8271anyone remember the GTE phone center at the mall?
The location has suffered a bit since this video- a three-alarm fire damaged the place on May 15th, 2022 to the point where demolishing the entire place has become pretty much guaranteed. Actual renovation odds are zero after how much damage that (and earlier) fire inflicted.
I heard about that
Well, the fire panel was in trouble.
Any other videos on this place since these guys shot it?
Not that I know of I should do an update on this place 🤔
@@Urbex_Offlimits Oh I meant I read others saying they watched another video on how it currently is but I can't find it.
By all means I would def go shoot a update on this place! Since it apparently has changed big time....
Love the videos wish I didnt have a phobia of being in large abandon places
Dont worrie there are small abandoned places too lol!
@@Urbex_Offlimits The ones near me usually have used needles strewn about, it's pretty sketchy even getting close to them.
I hear that and have came across it a few times
That sucks
Beep beep
Great video! I visited before it closed and the only recent images I’ve seen were after the squatters moved in and set fires, etc. Fantastic tour of its in-between phase.
Thanks! yeah sad it's gotten to that point
I always wondered how those photos, costumes, etc get scattered all over, its like everyone left in a panic
Yeah idk seems to be that way often
I'm new to your channel, but having grown up at the tail end of when malls were still a popular place to go, I kind of get nostalgic seeing your work. Just curious - have you ever gotten caught?
Welcome aboard!
I found which mall it was after 5 seconds of googling but I love the video. The neon signs still lit in a dark, abandoned mall is like a vision of my dreams. I would visit this, but it's no where near where I live. I am amazed there's just tons of people's photos lying around right there in that one store, as well as just everything left in the offices. I wish I could make videos like this but I currently don't have the time or equipment to do so.
It's not hard to find at all I still keep it unnamed. But yeah cool place good chance there a cool.place like this near you to explore!
I'm surprised owners of these abandoned malls never seem to sell off their fixtures and furniture etc... I bet a lot of people would love to own a piece of their old local mall.
Especially those neon signs. Those are becoming rare these days and collectors are willing to pay a lot of money for them. But they just get crushed along with the rest of the building when it's demolished.
Seriously there's still some value at a lot of these places
I like how you added the calm music. Even though this abandoned mall is dirty just a bit in some places, This almost looks like when it was open. Very nice!
Pretty fresh at the time
@@Urbex_Offlimits ye
It was torn down years ago, but Greengate Mall In Western PA looked almost exactly like this.
very cool sad to see um go!
Nice video. I love these old abandoned malls!
Me too! especially when the neon's are still on and working😃😃
I think I know this place. If this is the one I'm thinking about, it has sadly been absolutely wrecked back in August. It looks like it has been left abandoned since the late 90s. What a shame.
Multiple fires and a recent death
the first store you went in to on the first floor with all the wood paneling was a footlocker
Yeah
Liked the low key background music. It made this place seem really creepy. Almost had the impression that all the businesses cut out and ran considering the amount of stuff left behind.
Yeah that music worked well need to find more like it
@@Urbex_Offlimits What's it called?
I don't even remember but should show at the bottom of the video description
@@poopmadnessfan I've found the music: Memory Enhancement through Meditation (feat. Meditation Music Playlist & Healing Zen Meditation)
If they could attach subsidized housing for seniors/disabled buildings to these faltering malls they might be able to save them. People that have limited mobility and use scooters and seniors still appreciate malls. They can go shopping without winter attire, socialize at a restaurant with family without expensive travel costs for wheelchair transit. I think it would be a good viable option if the building was big enough.
That's an idea 💡
I’m a Gen X’r - while I understand to some degree why malls are dying, I believe they will ultimately make a comeback. Back in the day, you could meet people at malls, get some exercise, food, drinks and watch a movie.
My mall had a gym, great restaurants/bars and looked nice inside. It would be silly to totally abandon this just because people would rather play on their phone instead of walking
Sad but true
1:12 That's a fire alarm control panel, so you'd be good ether way 👍🏽
3:18 reminds me of a venue where raves often are here in Fresno 😂
Great video btw!! Loving the content. Seriously so underrated.
Gottcha
I cried when you didn’t look at the calendar in the offices
Awe sorry 🤘
I'm going to be honest,a few of those left behind photos and that parking cop jacket would have left with me .. This is an interesting video I found here!
Thanks 🤘 lots more coming!
Great video! I love these type of videos. I wonder why the power is still on and who is paying the power bill? Very strange. I just liked and subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work.
Thank you lots more videos coming your way!!🤘🤘
That's a really interesting take bro. I wonder how tf it gets the electricity there
Not sure about the power situation guys
That old foot locker wallpaper takes me back.
Right!! 🤙
You know what would be cool if mall like this got bought by bunch small businesses and reopen it.another cool idea turn into paintball and air soft arena’s or turn into amusement park. I hate see huge build like this sit unused. Hopefully what ever get put in place bring a lot happy memories to people lives
Sounds interesting
It would be VERY cool for it to be purchased and restored. I think there will come a time in the future when people will want to return to mall shopping. Imagine reopening alot of those stores if not just a single stand alone location?
Reminds me a bit of the Esplanade Mall in Kenner, LA where I used to go sometimes. Same general plan: an upper gallery level of shops looking down on a central plaza. The Esplanade has escalators and a glass lift. Can't quite recall if the food court is on the upper or lower level but I expect a lot of suburban malls were built to the same layout more or less, with three or four big split-level department stores as anchors for the whole mall, and of course a multiplex cinema.
Ah cool 🤘
Is it still open? I haven’t been to Kenner in years
Whats up guys love the video so far i grew up going to this mall i could almost tell you what location is what, My grandmother worked at the harris for over 30 years. thanks for making this video. I would love to get in this mall and make my own video.
Dm me on IG @urbex_offlimits
Is it still there or did get torn down and replace with something else
Still there no plans for development yet
pink and purple. ugh. i went there a few times...one of the old ones, for sure. too bad it died. i remember when Harris' was up that was a busy place..and had cops strolling the place. reminds me of my broke days..ugh.
Good Times!
Places like this would be fun to setup surprises for people who go through like this. Imagine these guys coming in only to have a motion sensor go off and a Smiler's grin greets them from a dark corner using some kind of LED setup.
Yeah Idk about that lol
I really like and respect urban exploration. No vandalizing, no stealing souvenirs like the losers do. Just looking around. It's fascinating.
Take nothing leave only footprints
This is a really cool mall. Too bad it's abandoned 😔
Sad to see many malls permanently closed and go abandoned
Looks like they left in a rush, it’s spooky as!
sure did spooky
This would be such a good place to shoot a post apocalypse movie scene.
Would be cool to see a stranger things episode here!
Malls remind me of seeing my grandparents when I was like 8 or 9
Awe how sweet
Oh, I wish I had the nerve to do this -- I live it through you. Great video, thanks for posting it!
Awe well there's lots more where that came from check outvthe urban exploration playlist I created - ruclips.net/p/PLq_zsY3jKRGY1m8lTbpNYaP_WlUj6Emom
Sad that a lot of people used to work here. Almost as sad as a closed factory!
True
awesome video guys! 🎉🔥
Thanks brotha!
@@Urbex_Offlimits Do you know if this particular mall is for sale, or is in some way or other being developed now (since this video was made a while back)? I know the dynamics of mall re-development can be a bit more complicated than they seem, but do you know if it's still abandoned or if there are any future plans for it?
Still abandoned
@@Urbex_Offlimits that part of town sucks. there's not even street vendors around there anymore, waiting to get robbed. last store to go was the one straight ahead from the "main entrance" .. off to the left. i used to pick up paperwork for public health, there in the LL, some sort of city office was there for awhile. i love malls. living or dead.
@@davidreneau8212 same but mostly dead malls
Just think of all the weekend hanging out, hours of pac man games, browsing bookstores, watching movies, teen flirting, nervous first days on the job, and eating dipping dots done there. And now...
Good Times!
If locations could be given it would be so cool if we had some background on how popular and how many people used to go to this mall. Though it would make it much more sad and spooky.
One day I'll make a video sharing mote history
At 3:04 on the left at the back of the store you can see a figure walk past just after you said "its these old neons buzzing! 😲
Good eye!
Bro!
MJ
It still has power???
Yes it did yes but that was a wile ago
I've always liked malls I always thought they were great fun place to go to a real treat but it's sad all that online shopping really knocked out a lot of malls turn a ghost town
Yeah I agree
It used to be such a beautiful mall. I saw it decline first hand. I was a property manager at an adjoining building.
Ah yeah front row
@@Urbex_Offlimits yeah the cool thing about walking through was like stepping back in time. I don't think a lot of stores updated from 80s style because Inland Center mall went in down the road. Very cool place and the old vintage Harris' store was incredible.
Did I show the Harris store in the video I don't remember if not I have some footage here somewhere
Love time capsules like this. Thanks for the footage.
Thanks man great place 🤘
Love the videos bro
Thanks
There was three malls here in the Florida city I grew up in. Now there is only one. Im surprised its still alive and actually thriving.
Dang well at least one is still going strong 💪
Freakin incredible!
Heck yeah!!🤘🤘🤘
where is that place? it is amazing how totally abandoned it became, yet how well preserved that it is.
Well it wasn't preserved very long this was filmed about a year or so after it closed it has since been destroyed by vandalism arson and scrapping.
Turning power on to a place, that has been abandon like this, runs a high chance of starting a fire!🔥 Also there is no telling who else might be in there! 😳 and they might not be friendly! 😡
Crazy how they left it all
Probably never been switched off. If someone bought it they would probably be slapped with a giant electricity bill, but most likely it would be demolished before that.
What a waste
I'll have to add this to the list of abandoned places to discover!
yes sir happy hunting
@@Urbex_Offlimits hey how did u manage to get in?
A magician never reveals there secrets
thanks for the music man, it really sets the tone well
cheers from regina, sk
Thanks glad you liked it
Thank You For sharing this Video
My pleasure
Dang that mall looks nice , sad it’s abandoned
Looked nice. I need to revisit this place, it has really changed
I prefer the malls of the 1980s they had charisma they had finesse
I like um all
Enjoying all your video's
Thank you!
I have no idea what in the blue hell that clown decoration is in the window above the desk is at 12:09 but i need one for the back window in my truck!!
Spooky looking
Crazy how many buildings like that still have power that nobody is paying for! But we still paying sky rocketing energy bills.
So true sooo many places lit up. Have you seen the strip club with power on it was raining inside too
looks like something I’d find in my dreams
Crazy wish I could remember my dreams
I don't know where this is but wherever it was something looked like it went terribly wrong and in a sense of like a flash mob or something kind of ransacked the place .
for real
Its like a dive into history.
Yeah totally 🤘
The weird glitches in the footage really add to the whole Backrooms-ish vibe this is giving me (ik the lighting isnt yellow/fluorescent & it's not empty, but ykwim- just that same creepy feel.)
ETA the lights on make it better... A little.💀
Haha yeah it's nice when there is lights on
Dude took pictures at that photo lab i was about 15 that puts it at about 2000-2001 and the mall was still in operation.
Crazy my dude
It was barely still hanging on as a mall when I left in 2005. I think so anchors were gone at that point, leaving just small mom and pop stores, and they were just starting to put offices in.
I used to go to this mall it started to go down hill in 92 after moreno valley mall opened
crazy huh
Can you explore the Sunrise Mall next? It's a dead mall in Massapequa, NY at Long Island and it's about to close down permanently next month in December.
Okay cool will check that out when I'm back in long Island!👍
At 3:04 did you have someone else with you that already went into the store. There’s a silhouette moving in the far left corner just after you say “it’s these neons buzzing.”
no just the 2 of us
Looks like a mirror column. Probably just reflecting the person they were with.
Possible but does it move the same way 🤔
There’s someone else there who left really quickly. They made a noise too. Creepy
12:08 ngl that skull is creepy as hell. I got startled because I wasn't expect to see something like that 😆
Hahaha right!🤘
How long has this mall been closed? There’s so much left behind.
5 or 6 years. There was lots left behind in the backrooms
The song makes up it a bit nostalgic yet very relaxing
Totally
@@Urbex_Offlimitscan I use this for a backrooms edit
Sure just give credit share my link
You would think that in this day and age malls would be more popular than they were in their heyday. People complain about being so busy and having so little time etc... the one stop shopping of the malls would be a practical solution. Sadly it is not the case. To them 1 stop shopping means solely online or a trip to Wamart.
It kills me to see people's photo memories just tossed carelessly on the floor and counter tops at the
6:35 minute mark. How many of those photos are missing from the families they belong to?
I'm sure the electric company will notice and increase in the power usage in that old mall after you started flicking lights on.
Right i know the photos scattered was pretty wild
I just couldn't go into anything abandoned. Too creepy. I watch folks go into mansions, regular homes and malls and I would be petrified.
Mansions and houses honestly scare me the most any kind of residents is my least favorite. You never know if someone is still inside or making it there home.
It's so sad how ceiling fans begin drooping after a few decades.
Think the heat does that
I remember going to this one superstore sainsburys whe i was young, and when I came to visit my parents, i decided to take a peak at my favorite mall, but to no avail, all i saw was scaffolding and graffiti. I could not hold back the tears, but all of a sudden, i got a strange
Awe that suck man!
Kinda creepy and sad at the same time. I remember going to that mall.
Super spooky
Best Chinese food ever at that Chinese food place and the photo booth was the best 😔♥️
Photo booth oh yea
This is so peaceful
Yes thank you
It's a sign of the times, even this Christmas season the black Friday mob rushes to the stores are virtually gone most are staying home and doing Christmas shopping online..the holidays are not what they use to be..
Yeah very true
Must be the only thing in America not yet vandalised. 🥳🥳🥳
There are lot of places still untouched actually
What year did this place close? I also imagine hearing “The Gonk” from Dawn of the Dead playing.
Hahaha yeah totally
Sad that just two years later if you go back to this mall it’s all damaged
More than 2 years this was filmed in 2018 posted the video few years later. But yeah never the less it's destroyed now. Glad we got to see it in such amazing condition.
And that office my aunt worked there it was an immagration office with lawyers it was one of my fav place to chill in
Crazy how things change
Looks like some Escape The Backrooms stuff..lol.. waiting for someone to fall thru the floor to the Pool room's. =)
Crazy cause there was always rumors about a hidden pool in that mall
@@Urbex_Offlimits you gotta go and find it. That would be a great explore
@@judydavenport9636 I've looked if there was one it's been long covered up and built over
Gave me serious liminal space/ backrooms vibes
Totally
I thought this was a back room video as well
Backrooms Mall
They should turn it into a safe area for exercise for the masses. We no longer have forests to walk through in the city but something like this would help.
Like the idea
I think I remeber seats very similar to those green and pink ones in the cafe area, but I can't remember where....
Been a wile
What your seeing is not just a paradigm shift in retail but the decay of a world that sustained society, a loss of the foundation. You gentlemen are the chroniclers of the rubble of what use to be.
Unfortunately yeah
You guys planning on doing a few videos on Benelux abandoned buildings? I know a few places to visit, which a collab would make that plausible (bescause alone you can easiely miss secruity details that can get you caught)
Sounds like fun but no plans set for that region yet.
Whata ur ig I'd be down
Right both yall hit me in the dm @ urbex_offlimits
@@Urbex_Offlimits I can not travel to the abandoned places anymore. I checked on the web and asked friends who live in the towns where the locations were and they are all demolished.

Amazing to see all the paperwork left behind. The thermometer can't be right though, you can't survive if it's 90 degrees.

Explain.
to bad a lot of those chairs and tables in the office could be donated to churches or schools. The couches could go to the victims of fire that lost everything in their house but it is all probably going to be bull dozed. Great video
Yeah it's really unfortunate all the things at these abandoned places go to waste. I was just at a different location I came across so many books, toys and movies that could be donated as well but they will probably just get demolished aswell.
