    This is so sad. I used to go there every day when I was 5 (in 2001). We'd park outside of JCPenney, get chocolate at Gertrude Hawk, play with model trains at the model train store, look at the pet shop... one time we had family photos taken at The Picture People. So many memories...

      Unfortunately the mall management didn’t update the mall at all. Still seems like the 70’s and 80’s. And it’s in the middle of nowhere in voorhees. Not exactly on a major road.

      I used to go there during 2016-2018. It was so fun to be there. Would read comics at this one shop and then head for some chick-fil-a afterwards. Usually we’d head to Payless too.

    Ugh Jon....That one made me sad! You know I was born and raised in Jersey. So many fun memories going to that mall and the Moorestown Mall. We only went to Cherry Hill Mall every now and again, and never hit up Deptford growing up. I hate seeing this, but that's the way society I guess has transformed. Places like The Promenade in Marlton, The open air outlet shops at like the Glouscter Premium Outlets, the Atlantic City Outlets, etc is more enjoyable? I dunno, another video reminding me how lucky I was to grow up when I did....

    Since you filmed this , 4 new businesses have moved into the Voorhees town center . A candy/popcorn/cookie store in the food court, a Turkish mosaic lamp store , a party store and a furniture store is getting ready to open in the old Macy’s. It’s definitely not dead , still gets a fair amount of foot traffic
