- Miami Valley Center Mall's darkest hour has come, and might go, should the redevelopment plan go through. Hopefully the property doesn't sit so vacant for much longer.

You know a mall is officially dead when the Bath & Body Works is closed up for good at it
Same same all over the USA.
Online shopping is drastically changing brick-and-mortar retail.
Thanks! Another great video and "Keep em Rolling"
It’s pronounced “Pick-Wah”, my mom’s from there- I stayed in the attached hotel to this mall for my grandma’s funeral a few years ago!
This. Pick-wah.
Correct. I live near there.
Watching a Doomie mall video is like watching an old 80s movie wondering where did we go wrong?
This mall wins for most places to sit. Benches everywhere!
Yes true, there's a bench at pretty much every angle.😊
You see the same benches in every mall Doomie visits. I wonder if they all came from an Amish furniture place somewhere. They look well made and are about the only thing left in the malls, along with the gumball machines, and the vibrating lounge chairs.
I always wondered if you would get to visit my childhood mall. I remember that mall being absolutely packed with nearly 100% occupancy in the early to mid 90s. The large arcade was always bustling, the attached theatre and busy food court. Oh the memories. I remember Hills, Steve and Barry’s, Elder Beerman. I remember all of it. I still feel like I can go up to the same stores today to buy whatever I need but that’s not the case. Where did time go? I’ll always remember that mall, the smells, the noises, the atmosphere , another piece of my childhood gone forever.
Not even a Bath and Body Works! Keep up the good work Doomie and Keep em rolling.
There is actually a Bath and Body Works. Pause at 3:13 and you'll see. You're welcome.
@@ms.zelman3032 When i first viewed the video I did see it and I was surprised that it was not lit up and opened and one of the first in a dead mall. Ashtabula, Richland and Midway Malls in Ohio are still open. Beaver Valley, Cranberry and the Clearview Malls in Pennsylvania are open in those dead malls also.The display cases are empty and looked un stocked and un lit. Yelpers verified it was closed.Usually they are the ones that turn off the lights. I have always wanted to visit this mall and I hope to get a chance before it gets changed. I am up in the Akron area.Thanks for the critique.
Like another said, its "Pick-wah".
Other then going to Dunhams, I haven't been in that mall in ages. I always use the Dunhams main entrance.
Rip the upper valley mall in Springfield
I fell like this mall was built in the wrong town. It should’ve been built in Troy, OH.
Troy probably would have bought it time, but malls are dying regardless.
For Sidney driver to mall in piqua and Troy driver too! Sidney not want driver to Troy is snob !
mall walkers arent necessarily signs of mall death but mall walkers that feel so sure no ones coming in that they leave their personal belongings on the benches/tables might be
Too many empty corner stores, in great premium locations.This place is doomed!
Damn, never would have imagined I would see this in my recommended. This place was dying when I was a kid in the mid-late 2000s so I can't imagine how desolate it is now. It's kind of a shame, because this place is in an excellent location. Right off I-75, surrounded by gas stations and restaurants, and basically the last decent sized town you're gonna see for awhile if you're headed north. And no, Sidney doesn't count. That place is a zoo exhibit of urban decay.
piqua is worse than Sidney by far
It was an odd place to put a mall.
Doomie another great blog. If you don’t mind asking you Is your a nickname?
Used to go here in the 80's with my grandparents when they had work up that way, I distinctly remember shopping in the Hills. They had a good pizza place in the food court and one of the first dollar stores in a mall in that part of Ohio.
Why didn't you go when the mall is actually open during store hours?
I don’t see this mall staying open next year. I remember this mall as a kid and it was not the best mall, but the closest one to me. Also that GameStop store was legendary
Peequa? Try a short i.
Thank You
Too many memories to list. @7:53 you can still see the colors of the old walk up Burger King. The banquet hall in the food court used to be an arcade. That janky arcade on the corner of Dunham's used to be a GameStop.You did a good job on this video! !!
Cute
that looks worse than I had imagined
What camera did you use?
Nice video lol
For this video I ate Uncle Ben's garden vegetable style rice along with vegetable soup from Campbell's. I also had a glass of orange juice to go along with it.
Ah, back when Uncle Bens was actually Uncle Bens with his picture on the front.
@@iworkout6912 Oh my gosh, you're right. The package I opened did not have his picture on the front. Sad. I wonder why they eliminated it.
1st. It looks like you got caught in a downpour?
Dang ya beat me
Doomie, I would never call you a moron.
Yes, I was kinda thinking the same thing too.
its pronounced P "I" qua. not P "ee" qua
This is a pretty nice mall. It sucks that it looks like this. A rainy day is the perfect day to visit a dead mall or visit a mall and shop.🙂🤍🛍🌧🌂☔💧
Why was this mall named Miami Valley Center when it's in Ohio that made me think this mall is in Miami and this is another Florida mall?
Because there's a region in Ohio called the Miami valley.
If you like that, theres also a Miami University in Ohio too.
Big Brain 🧠
The Miami Indian tribe is where the name come from.
It's also in Miami County, and the Great Miami River is right next to it.
The Miami River Valley in Ohio and Piqua (as a city) existed multiple decades before Miami, Florida was incorporated as a city.
I’m surprise you weren’t harassed by the ego-tripping rent-a-cop.
