    This is the first video i saw of yours.
    You do a great job. I love your style and your comments throughout the vid.
    By the sound of your voice I'm gathering you're not that old yet, but you're already doing an excellent job!
    Keep up the good work and greetings from the Netherland's. 🇳🇱

    Awesome video! Please be careful when exploring abandoned malls. By the looks of it, this mall appears to have possibly been updated in the late 80's (I'm basing my presumption on the carpet in the lobby/fountain area). I remember vividly shopping in malls from 1989 until the mid-2000's.
    Indeed some of the interior of this particular mall screams 70's (possibly it might even have been one of the first "indoor" malls) built during the late 70's. Before indoor malls there were strip malls with outside access to shops. It wasn't as pleasant to shop during terrible weather. It wasn't always fun, especially when it was cold, snowy, and icy outside or rainy.
    Indoor malls are (*were*) the best when everything was booming business and anchor stores remained strong. The food court was packed, people milling about, etc.
    Nowadays there's really nothing good in the mall that would appeal to me. And most stores I love are now in the past. I loved Claire's Boutique during the 80's and early 90's. I also have wonderful memories of buying all of my cassettes and my first rock n' roll shirt at Hastings music store when I was a teenager. I miss those days.
    I miss the carefree, relaxed, fun atmosphere of just walking around the mall. In fact, it was at a place in a food court that sold bulk cookies and candy that my sister and I got to sample those gummy Coca-Cola bottles and Sour Patch kids in 1989. At one time, Sour Patch kids weren't sold in huge bags at the nearby dollar store nor were they sold in the boxes. At least I never seen them prior to the early 2000's being sold in bags, etc.
    I think what I miss most is hanging out with my sister and having some awesome times growing up with no worries about what the future holds.
    My sister and I. styled our hair big, wore door knocker earrings, layered on the thin black jelly bracelets and bangle bracelets, rolled our pant legs at the ankle, threw on our favorite shirts, scrunched our socks, pulled on our acid-washed denim jean jackets, and asked our parents to drop us off. When we were ready to go home, we'd place two quarters into the payphone's coin slot, lift the reciever, and dial our home phone number. We'd wait near the entry doors in the food court for our parents. Those were simpler times. Thank you for sharing this video! 😊

    This mall has definitely had some updates. All of the red brick, the cushions and some of the stores you went in is most likely from the 70s. Where the pink marble on parts of the mall floor was not a thing in the 70s and was probably originally polished concrete up to the red brick. The mall probably would have been a bit darker than this originally too, Part of the updates in the malls in the late 80s or early 90s was to lighten them up more.

      Yeah, it's sad how "save-able" a place may appear, but it's not feasable.

      Looks like they're just trying to keep it from caving in. There's mold everywhere, all over every surface. Those fans are there trying to dry everything out and keep the air circulating. It looks to me like there was major flood damage at one point. My guess is the owner was just trying to keep it standing with the hopes that someone would buy the property. You'd have to spend millions (and I mean millions) to get that property restored. And that's pretty pointless since malls are dead anyway.
