Wow i dont remember a market but just shops/thrifts over there. That thrift was bigger to back in the day then they down sized, but the inside wasn't remodeled either.
I remember all that growing up..and best buy used to be Brunswick bowling . ..thats going way back , but i remember it and did bowl there & regal lanes.
Thanks for posting!! The view from the Walmart side down to the Sears is amazing! It looks so small!! The store you can barely see the name of was the Oriental Relaxing Station.
@@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN It's impressive how methodical they are being with the demo. When you drive on Tustin at night, the center entrance is still lit up like nothing has changed. I wonder when the old JC Penney begins its demolition.
@@jeffbatdorf yeah & weird how they chunked out the wall in the back like it can be replaced like nothing ever went on. But i havent been there lately so maybe the whole back end is gone?? Minus the JCP building
Thanks for the video. Weird cause I don't live very far from the Orange Mall. Yeah I know it's "The Village" and Used to go there a lot. And the thrift stores too. The Thrift store "Sheepfold" moved to Tustin Ave.
It's really upsetting that all of these strip malls are closing down entirely. I have dreams of opening a music venue and I'm sure I'm not the only one with dreams of opening a small business. The closure of these strip malls, for what, luxury apartments? Instead of dropping rent prices and allowing small businesses to thrive is just sad.
Spent many hours at the Family Thrift Shop, always great stuff there. If you went on Saturday it was hard to find a place to park. That entire center has been empty now for about 3 years. The last thrift store closed when the virus kicked in and people stopped showing up. Still wonder about the Orange Mall, nobody really seems to know what the game plan is.
Great video! You visit all my my old stomping grounds. I used to work at Shaffer Park in the summer I would go across the street on my lunch to get tacos and go thrift shopping
Me too but long gone now. Just about all of them straight up went out of business too. 1 of the places that moved just recently went out of business again in a different location
Wow.. I knew that the Orange mall / "Village at orange" was going downhill for years. I haven not been over there in years. Sad to see if going down... Went there and other malls like Westminster and Brea Mall for many years when I was growing up.
@@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN Yep... I was over there a few months ago and also saw your video on it. Sad to see it go. Seems like the Brea Mall is still active though.
Hmm didn't know that the Best Buy was gone too. I think the one at Chapman and State Collage / City Drive is still there... and there is one in Westminster at the Westminster Mall parking lot that is open as far as I know.
Burlington coat factory in Whittier is closing down, the staples next to it , & some grill next to it. The lease is up & i know that burlington gets shoplifted alot.. Also vacant stores nect to it. Do a vid on that, its closing in 1 week i believe. Store is only 1/5th left of sn empty store.
Are they tearing down the whole mall to rebuild the property, or just the enclosed mall portion itself. I didn't live too close to it but I did pop in once in a while. I remember way back when it was called "The City", and that was one of two locations of an REI store in Southern California. Most memorial time for me was going there the Saturday afternoon after 9/11 to see the re-release of 'Apocalypse Now' (director's cut) at the theaters on the west side - literally tons of security personnel in and around the mall, and all the shops were open, but very few customers that weekend. The old Crystal Cathedral (independent Christian church) is off to the northwest of the mall property, even that's changed as the local catholic diocese bought it and uses it as the main cathedral/church - cool place if you've never been in it.
The notice says: demolish interior of mall, reconstruct & reface exposed walls so not 100% sure what their going to reconstruct yet. The City shopping center now The Otlets at Orange is in east Orange & is by the Christ Cathedral (now) vs The Village at Orange is west Orange. My old mall way back
This is old Orange Mall off Lincoln and Meats. The City became The Block which is now The Outlets. That's at Chapman and State College. I remember REI and midnight movies at The City. Rocky Horror, Dance Craze, fighting hippies from Song Remains the Same. Ironically, I love Zeppelin, but in the early 80s, punkers fought hippies. LoL
Thanks for the replies. With so many of them closing or re-branding I can't keep my scorecard up-to-date! 😟😟 I need to go over to the South Coast Plaza area, maybe I'll drive around there and see what's changed, especially where Sears used to be. I've seen some predictions that this Christmas shopping season will be 'down' and worse if a longshoreman's strike happens (October 1), so more malls might be closing in 2025.
14:16 July '94... 30 year old graffiti. Wow, says a lot. Most tagging has the life span of a house fly. Guess nobody cared to tag over it.... let alone clean it off.

My old stomping grounds. Your favorite thrift store was my old favorite also. I remember when it was a Michael’s Market ! Thanks for the memories

I do remember regal lanes & wonder what's in the building now other than toyota of orange using it?

Yeah now it can be seen empty it kinda looked small but its a walk to get to the other side. Glad they didnt cover the windows so it can be seen.

Way sad! Have happy Tennants vs an EMPTY strip mall. Greedy landlords that dont even upgrade anything
Great coverage brother ! TimTamS

The Joseph Eichler Homes are nearby, mid century modern. It's really interesting to see the neighborhood.
Yeah just down the street i think i passed them going to the mall after the abandoned strip mall
Schaffer park was my pop warner football teams home field in the mid 70s.
Remodeled now from what it used to look like
Great video! You visit all my my old stomping grounds. I used to work at Shaffer Park in the summer I would go across the street on my lunch to get tacos and go thrift shopping
@@mdillonscarlett newly re done Shaffer park & i liked those thrift shops back when they were open. I never went to the mexican resturant tho
@@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN when did they close all that down?
@mdillonscarlett the thrift locations, years ago & the mall in January
Damn These stores were all alive and fine before covid.
I used to go to the thrift shop all the time.
Me too but long gone now. Just about all of them straight up went out of business too. 1 of the places that moved just recently went out of business again in a different location
I used to go to all those shops there including the taco place, for like 10 years!
Did you ever play at the arcade that was across from the Carl's Jr next to the Sears? Spent many hours there with my kids when the were growing up.
Not that i recall but used to hit an arcade in Buena Park as a kid in a strip mall
Wow.. I knew that the Orange mall / "Village at orange" was going downhill for years. I haven not been over there in years. Sad to see if going down... Went there and other malls like Westminster and Brea Mall for many years when I was growing up.
@@glenn_r_frank_author Westminster Mall is a dead site to see before something happens to that property cuz it's still open.....but why?
@@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN Yep... I was over there a few months ago and also saw your video on it. Sad to see it go. Seems like the Brea Mall is still active though.
@@glenn_r_frank_author i need to check out Brea
Hmm didn't know that the Best Buy was gone too. I think the one at Chapman and State Collage / City Drive is still there... and there is one in Westminster at the Westminster Mall parking lot that is open as far as I know.
Yeah the Best Buy on Chapman & at the Westminster Mall parking lot are still open.
I remember back in the 80s when I was a kid there was an awesome Video Game Arcade there that I always hung out in.
I hear it was by the Carl's Jr / Sears
@@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN Yep... it was across from the carls Jr near the Searse end of the mall
Thank for the video. I used to go there and have lunch at the he Philipino place that made the best pork skewers. Sad that it's gone :(
I ❤Dead Malls

I posted this before but that is where my first job was and now I feel like an American Motors auto worker.
Things are definitely changing these days. Sad!
I thought I saw Best Buy closing down the street.parking lot is empty 😮
Yeah but you can eat at a food truck or trucks there now...lol
@@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN I love food trucks.specially the Latina ladies.🌮🌮😍
@@ralphbenites1312 you gotta hit it up and check it out.
There is stuff around back. I think people are still using it for something.
The old Best Buy would make a good spot for Aldi or Lidl. Do we know what the Orange Mall will become yet?
@@mikedanyurs5126 no, not sure yet on what the mall will be.
Burlington coat factory in Whittier is closing down, the staples next to it , & some grill next to it. The lease is up & i know that burlington gets shoplifted alot.. Also vacant stores nect to it. Do a vid on that, its closing in 1 week i believe. Store is only 1/5th left of sn empty store.
OP shorts -- forgot about those!
& hang ten too i used to wear. Lol
Hey i live up the street from here … I miss the thrift stores :(
@@Pedro-vh4rm yeah me too!

What the heck?! The Village seemed like a perfectly good mall. What overpriced palace will they build now?
@@stevepd1 we shall see cuz im not sure what's going there yet
Sheepfold Thrift store was there … I think 🤔
Yeah it was there then moved to Tustin Ave
Looks like they’re keeping the walls up for something else
Thank to Mr Heyman w Jayman👍
@@clamonvu655 no, thank you
Orange is on the downward slide.
Too many thrift shops = mall going out of business.
@@stevepd1 i do shop some thrift stores & retail
@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN me too. I've just noticed if too many thrift stores move in, the landlord is usually hurting for rent.
14:16 July '94... 30 year old graffiti. Wow, says a lot. Most tagging has the life span of a house fly. Guess nobody cared to tag over it.... let alone clean it off.
And that tagging was where the old Carl's Jr was too back then must of been up in the drop cealing back then
FIRST!
