I really liked this! I really enjoy watching dead/almost dead mall videos. I have so many memories of Manchester Mall. I remember being a little kid in the late 90s & going there with my family. I remember there was a KB Toy Store next to Sears, I remember later on in my teen years going to the movie theater next door with my cousins & we'd arrive early & walk to the mall & walk around. I remember the carousel, Red Robin's, Gottschalks, Anchor Blue, M fasis, the food court etc. We would walk into Sears & spray on tons of perfume samples & then take off to the movies. I remember there being a pizza place in there that had arcade games. I miss those times. Also I think it's now called Manchester Center.
Hi LuLu thank you for hanging out with us. That sounds like a classic 90s mall and so awesome. I totally forgot about KB Toys. I wish malls were like they were back then. Maybe a better look but idk the stores and vibe was different. It looks like the outdoor type of mall is the trend. Thank you so so much for your time and hanging out. Keep being awesome and see you on the next adventure.
@@doodwithacru That's interesting that outdoor type of malls or shopping centers are more in right now because back when indoor malls were more popular my parents use to tell me that outdoor malls were more popular when they were kids & teens & that indoor malls killed them lol. Now they're back to being popular. I actually prefer indoor malls.
@Lulu seriously it's crazy how trends never actually go away. They just go into hiding till it becomes popular again. I like the indoor mall look & it's a perfect place to hangout on any type of day. Mall of America in Minnesota is huge and a must visit
Even in the 90s Manchester wasn't as popular as fashion Fair or River Park. I used to live by there and as a kid and my grandparents went to Hometown Buffet a lot. My brother and I got jumped by some kids walking home from there once, and I remember none of the cars stopping as I waved them down... Fun stuff amirite. Fresno isn't such a happy go lucky place but I'm glad I was able to make it through those crazy times... Later wrote for the Fresno Bee and other local newspapers so I have done all of the exploring you're now doing, but at least now you can document it and share this!
Thank you so much for hanging out. That sounds crazy!!! Ppl suck sometimes. Glad you have made more for yourself, working at the Fresno Bee sounds so cool. I feel Fresno is in need of a major revamp in everything. I'm loving checking out all these spots and sharing it with you all. Thank you for hanging out and your time. Keep being awesome and see you on the next adventure.
Use to come here in the mid 80s. This mall would get packed on the Saturdays and Holidays. The surf shop was cool. And the place where they sold different colored popcorn that they had on display.
I miss the carousel that was at the old main entrance, it was abandoned prior to SEARS leaving, i remember Gottschalks being a anchor store then leaving. On the outside there is chipotle, its boba time, habit burger …recently Ross and DD’s opened and they get a lot of traffic. I really shop Amazon, Temu, Shein, and i look for online deals that i can pick up locally.
First thank you tons & tons for watching and hanging out. We really appreciate your time. I've gotten quite a few comments of all the stuff that use to be there. It sounded like an amazing mall. It sucks that it's how it is now cause it seemed pretty popular before they started to change things. Hopefully they see ppl want it to come back and they remodel it all. Thank you again for sharing that and thank you again for hanging out. Keep being awesome and we'll see you on the next adventure.
I miss the good stores that used to be in that mall like Gottcharlks. Kaybee toys. Sears . woolworth's.. millers outpost. Party tips . Longs drugs . Also in food court was dairy queen . Also i miss jeff Gordon !
Hi Charlotte thank you so much for hanging out. Miller's Outpost was a classic. At my childhood mall we had a Discovery store, Warner Bros store, a huge Disney store & so much more. Malls are very different now. It's more about shopping, back then going to a mall was an experience. Much more lively. Thank you for Cruing along with us. Keep being awesome and see you on the next adventure.
I hope it all comes back. Losing another shopping center in a city is like losing something nice to see. Aside from business cities would have nothing other than homes.
Omg i remember when i was younger i went there was so much people but now it looks so sad and deserted
My sister used to get her jeans air brushed there! I miss the ferry go round!
Hi and thank you so so much for Cruing along with us. That's so cool. She got that done at a cart or inside a store? I've gotten a few comments of a lot of things being here awhile ago. This mall sounded so cool in the past, especially with a ride inside. I really hope this mall can make a come back soon cause it sounds like a lot of people really liked it. Thank you again so much for hanging out with us. Keep being awesome and hope to see you on the next adventure.
I miss this place before corona. It had a carousel and it was fun and had some stores I liked
Thank you so much for your time and Cruing along with me on this mall adventure. Yeah I've heard lots of awesome stories from this mall. It sounded like it had a lot inside at one point and also sounded like a lot of ppl really like going there. I was really hoping they would begin to clean it up and bring things back but I've also heard that's probably not gonna happen. I really appreciate you sharing that with me and I truly appreciate you choosing to hangout with me on this adventure. Keep being awesome and we'll see you on the next adventure.
I remember stores like Sears, mervyns, Montgomery wards, gottschalks, Payless, I grew up with those stores
Hi Manny and thank you for Cruing along with us on this adventure. I remember getting lost in all those store and going to toys or games section. At Payless I would get "lost" in there hahaha The malls then were just different. Thank you again for hanging out with us. Keep being awesome. Hopefully we'll see you on the next adventure.
I remember when my dad would always take us to Sears back when it was still around we would always go there to shop for new shoes and clothes and then make our way to a pizza place that had some delicious pizza and arcade games I kind of forgot the name of the place but yeah it was a very good place to go to eat play
Edit: I found out the name of the old pizza place that used to be inside the Manchester Mall it was called Goodfellas Pizza
Hi and first sorry for replying way late. Thank you so much for your time and watching. I have heard of Goodfellas but I've never tried it. I felt like malls back in the days had so much more than just clothing stores. It was kinda like a small amusement park. I believe they are remodeling this mall but it's just taking a bit longer than expected. Again, I really appreciate your time and hanging out with us. Keep being awesome and hopefully we'll see you on the next adventures.
Yeah when I was there around a younger age were talking about the mom early nineties they used to be a big arcade on the second floor and he was humongous shows nearby and then there was the warehouse music store to across back in the food court was full of restaurants to I used to go a lot with my dad and my cousin.
Nothing has ever happened to me when I hung out out there
I remember going there in the 80's . There was a Safeway, The Upstart Crow for trendy Liberals (before Red Robin.), A Werehouse records upstairs, I remember the food court too.
Hi and thank you so much (x a million) for your time and hanging out with us. I didn't know Safeway was around in the 80's and especially in a mall. That's awesome. I've heard so many stories of this mall in the 80's & 90's, I wish I coulda seen it then. I think malls back then were just different and much better. I hope they begin to do a lot more with it and around it soon cause Fresno deserve it. Thank you so much again for every moment of your time, I really appreciate you. Keep being awesome and we'll see you on the next adventure.
I live fresno, and the mattress or mall is not that bad
7:26 thats where the Merry go around and Red Robin used to be, our first time here in the 1980s the Toy store is upstair right on the right of this screen. everything is disapearing since we left Fresno Ca and moved to Phoenix AZ in 2005
I woulda really loved to see this mall when it was very popular. I've read so many awesome stories about this place. When I spoke with the security guard he had said there were plans to remodel it. I hope that's still happening and we can see this mall popular again. I do think there was a phase where malls were not so popular but I think they're making a comeback in ppl wanting to go again. They also gotta fix up a bit around the area but I think it could happen. I'm hoping one day I can visit Phoenix, there's so many amazing places out there and tje scenery is so beautiful. Thank you so much for hanging out with me on this adventure. Keep being awesome.
I can already imagine this being closed and probably abandoned in the next 3-4 years, cause look how dead it is, same with the sierra vista mall.
Hi and thank you so much for your time and comment. Yeah sadly I think your right. I'm hoping soon there's a boom in Central Valley entertainment including at least some sort of amusement park. Sierra Vista Mall is going the same way like you said. I'm actually surprised Manchester Mall the building is still standing. Thank you tons again for your time and hanging out with us. Keep being awesome and hopefully we'll see you on our next adventure.
@@doodwithacru for sure man 👍 you earned yourself a sub
@MetricalRed thank you so so much we really do appreciate it. We hope you enjoy the adventures.
I hang out at manchester mall
I finished high school there in 2008. It's even more dead than it was then. Workforce connection was there then
Hi, first I want to say thank you so much for your time and hanging out with us and thank you so much more for subscribing. I guess that mall hasn't seen much popularity since so long ago. I'm surprised the whole building is still there after all these years but other businesses have taken over. Thank you again for hanging out with us. Keep being awesome and see you on the next adventure.
Sierra Charter? Same. Graduated 2010.
@Tony F hi Tony and thank you so much for hanging out with us. I didn't even know there was a high school there. So crazy when you search what some places were used for around the valley. Thank you again for your time and hanging out. Keep being awesome.
I just explored this place, it’s so cool!
Right!!!? I mean I know it doesn't seem like there's much but I thought the place was pretty cool too. Thank you so so much for hanging out with us, seriously you hanging out and giving us your time is something you don't gotta do and we appreciate you so much. Apparently they are trying to remodel the mall but it's taken longer but hopefully it'll start looking better with more stores. I love exploring these Fresno and surrounding areas. Again, I really thank you so much for hanging out with us on this adventure. Keep being awesome and hopefully we'll see you on the next adventure.
@@doodwithacru The Escalators don't work anymore though.
@LittleToyBonnie dang that socks. I really hope that mall can somehow come back. I know a lot of ppl don't like the area but if it gets fixed up I'm pretty sure it'll be a very popular spot. Things here in Fresno have to stay not go.
Does the city of Fresno still have their office there? I didn’t see you film it. Thanks
Hi and thank you so much for your time and hanging out. I did see some sort of Fresno offices in there but I wasn't sure what kind. Thank you so much again for hanging out with us. Keep being awesome.
I recently read that some of the vacant stores will be converted to low income housing.
Hi and thank you so much for your time and hanging out with me on this adventure. That's a good thing cause housing costs in CA are pretty crazy but also kinda a bummer cause I would've hoped they would revamp this mall. There is so much potential for this area if they just cleaned it up more. I really enjoyed checking it out though as it looked. I've gotten comments on many awesome stories from this malls past. It sounded like a fun place to be at. Again, I truly appreciate you choosing to Cru along with me. Keep being awesome and hopefully we'll see you on the next adventure.
Montgomery Wards was a stand alone store on Blackstone near Barstow
Hi and thank you so so much for hanging out with us. This mall was more dead than I thought. I was thinking maybe one big store was there but I guess not. That entrance to that building looked exactly how the Montgomery Wards where I grew up looked like. It was also it's own stand alone store but yeah the entrance looked very familiar lol. I'm hoping this mall get a revamp in things. Thank you again so much for your time and Cruing along. Keep being awesome.
@@doodwithacru I loved this video. I have fond memories of Manchester Center.
I think that store front you saw was Gottachalks
@AlreyExJW I've never been in that store. Honestly when I first heard of it I thought it was another version of a hot topics. I was completely wrong. It's crazy how when things crumble away the only thing we have is memories. Thank you again for your comments.
S/W corner of Bullard and Blackstone.
@LNR B-Rock thank you so much for hanging out with us. The Montgomery Wards was a fun place. My brother and I would run to the electronics department and play the demo game systems. Super Nintendo, N64, Classic Gameboy, Game Gear and Playstation. Good times. Thank you again for hanging out.
It use to be a good mall.
Bro thank you so much for hanging out with me on this adventure. I've heard a lot of awesome stories about this mall and I really wished it coulda stayed like that. I'm really hoping at some point soon they begin to make the changes it deserves cause it looks like it has so much potential. Again I truly appreciate you choosing to hanging out with me on this adventure. Keep being awesome and we'll see you on the next adventure.
Wow pretty died. Haven't been there in years
Hi Jackie that you so much for hanging out. The actual name of the mall now is The New Manchester Mall but there's not much new about it. I'm surprised it's actually still standing. Thank you again for hanging out. Keep being awesome.
Maybe gradually they will add new stores
Manchester mall has a beautiful entrance on the Shields side to nothing it's a scheme mall the man's bathroom is nice I guess the owner takes pride in it from what a cop said I started a fire to the toilet gaskets and did time the detective that came out was like I got your phones the ones they said they needed for evidence with all my music it's all washed up god bless the 50 though
Hi Coy and thank you so much for hanging out with us. That's a crazy story, im glad all is well now lol The mall has so much potential, it's sad to see it going to waste. It definitely looked clean just not much inside. Thank you again for hanging out. Hopefully we'll see you on another adventure. Keep being awesome.
@@doodwithacru dude I'm a mess life's at a crumble for me it seems like I'm emotionally lost but near nor their I just had hope at a point for Fresno and the mall people should have their own family owned business in their new stuff my plan at one point was to have enough stuff to ware everything will be at a stand still in want of nothing because with all the companys started can just circulate through each other and help others that don't have nothing and just keep on helping people so eventually everyone gets fed Fresno is lost just like me idk even fashion fair wouldn't have what that mall would have the cops are good people and people are thankful for them the school is a good thing to but all the doors are closed it's a flawless scam sounds crazy I no but people are hurting in Fresno God bless
@Coy Jackson I know what you mean, life is always crazy. That's why I try to always look at the positive parts in it. Hopefully our adventures can add some sort of light in everyone's day. We really appreciate you hanging out with us.
