Hi I used to work in this mall from 1996 to 1997. I was a manager for Northern Reflections. The mall was kinda dead back then too but we had a loyal customer base and we're always steady. I had to walk in a fashion show in fall 96 with clothes borrowed from the Jimmy Stewart museum in the center court I remember there were tons of people there that day. Thanks for the video!
It’s 1983. You’re a grade school kid in the early part of summer. You’re home for the evening having played outside all day, just had dinner and the AC+fans are running, dad turns on the TV and the HBO feature presentation comes on… in your impressionable young mind, this is not just a movie night: it’s an event. Obviously, your intro triggers something deeply sentimental, and not just for myself by a long shot. Very nicely done Anthony, and perfectly on brand! 👌😎 By the way, I did get the notification; I look forward to your latest release as much as 40-years-younger me looks forward to tonight’s Feature Presentation.
I just watched many of your videos even though I didn't exactly subscribe yet, so, quite miraculously, that was enough for me to get a notification for this recent video. I guess I should subscribe soon because your future visits, even other than malls, definitely sounded exciting. I hope for the best in your upcoming videos. God bless.
Loved this video. Reminds me a lot of my hometown mall in Ohio that closed a few years ago. So vintage. Closing shot by the doors looks like there used to be a York Steakhouse in that hallway. So cool. Also those fountains and the cinema were awesome, thanks again. Please don't give up
That mall brings back memories. I attended IUP just down the road '92-'97. At the time, there was a second mall down the road (which has since been converted into a plaza), it used to be the "Regency Mall", but the Indiana mall was the "upscale" mall in that community as well as surrounding towns. It had the anchors you'd expect.. K-Mart, Sears, Penny's... I'm glad to see the Theater is still there. Thanks for filming it once again for an update. After what happened to Century III and so many others.... there aren't many left. Even Harrisburg (East) mall is gone, Camp Hill (Mall) has returned to merely a plaza, and Capital City Mall seems like it's dying a slow death.
The Regency Mall had "Hills" as its anchor store. Hills went bankrupt around 1991, so it was already collapsing around your time. My sister told me that a "Giant" food store occupied the Hills space afterward, but I'm not sure if it is still there or not.
My boyfriend and I randomly happened upon this mall while we were in Pennsylvania looking for abandoned places, dying and dead malls. We just so happened to have stayed in Indiana for a night, and the next morning we learned about a mall that was right near our hotel. This was one of my favorite out of the four malls we visited while in the state.
im getting notifications when your new videos are out. probably because ive watched 10+ of them recently. Thanks for keeping the channel alive, always interesting to see. the intros are rad!
Man, the HBO opener... They never topped that. I've always loved that in its variations. These videos are experiences in their own right. I still love the vaporwave music with them. It is now kind of nostalgic for the pre-pandemic years. Imagine that! I'm grateful for these, but I do hope the world starts getting better so that nostalgia won't be so necessary to just feel good. In the meantime, maybe I'll go check out some old Double Mint commercials. Remember the Double Mint Twins?
I get notifications from you Ace and everyone as I make sure I have all haven't missed an update. I like that old HBO theme awesome videos as always Ace.
I shopped in this mall different times in the past but it has been a while ago. It was a really nice mall. It is sad to see many places empty. It has a lot more stores open than most malls. I hope that most of the stores be able to keep their heads above water and keep the mall open. Good video. I did get a notification about this video but I haven't gotten many about other videos though. I just rechecked to make more sure that my all notifications was still on. Thank you for sharing another amazing video.
Omg I remember that HBO showcase presentation theme back in the day omg I am old l😊I love your videos ace your the best keep doing whatbyour doing and I only ate two BBQ hot dogs with chess puffs.😋
Malls like this should have a little donation box at the entrance saying something like “We are glad you like our mall and welcome you to film and take pictures but please consider donating some cash to help keep away the wrecking ball - mall management”
Cant phathom how the mall can even keep the lights on? So very sad knowing as kids in westdale gardens at 294/roosevelt road growing up riding bikes to yorktown mall or growing up at a young age going to golblats and the hillside mall which had woolworths, old style counter and seating at counter and some booths. Astroids and pacman there and can still remember the smell. Santa at christmas dressed in his finest hand sewn suit on . Soo many memories. So sad i cant wakup from a dream and still be a kid. Would have gone a whole different route.
What a beautiful mall and fountain, wish I had visited it when I lived in the mountains in the 90's. I haven't heard the HBO theme in so long. Does anyone know why the RUclips shorts doesn't have the word Comments anymore even though there's still comments in them? It's getting outer space irritating when I have to go through other comments just to comment 😠.
Your new uploads do come up in my feed! I know you’ve got a lot going on with a kiddo on the way and everything, but I’ve been a longtime enjoyer of your content. It’s a shame that the algorithm is screwing you over; you’re one of the best in the dead mall space and it’d be a shame to see you go. Very excited to see what non-mall properties you explore!
I disabled notifications since I am subscribed to 300+ channels. I just browse the subscription tab each day tonsea what's new and most of the times watch it. Thumbnails might make a huge difference.
Vegas Vacation is prime cinema and I hope your video about The Mirage will reflect that. Also, when you're walking around any mall, does this quote run rampant in your head: "I need to go someplace where a man can think." "Oh, I wouldn't do that here, Ace. The stalls are awfully dirty, and...they're backed up all the time."
wow so cool video i just watch you video what was that store you ehow was light was on not andy thing inthere?? be waiting on lastvegas aero 51 too ty video
I like the new camera. I have notifications off but your videos do pop up in my feed. I’m looking forward to the new content. Happy Memorial Day weekend! With this mall, it’s definitely dead but hanging on. I love the aesthetics here.
Hello, I've owned a couple channels with my time on youtube, (One having around 30k subscribers) and I will tell you that subs after a while just go inactive and stop watching content or forget they're subscribed to you. Sad way to put it I know but that's how it is. Another thing I'd like to mention is you don't use search term tags in your youtube background/analytics. I highly suggest downloading socialblade as an add on so you can see what other creators in your niche are putting in their tags and see if that helps. Also, I suggest giving background information on the malls you visit even if you've already covered them once or twice. Just so it gives something for the viewers to stay hooked as they watch your video.
Whoa this is weird to see. I grew up hanging out here back when I was in school. Used to have a GameStop and Kmart/Little Caesars where I use to spend most of my time.
I get notifications for replies from people on comments I made on videos like yours. But no notifications on premieres of your latest videos. Just saw your video on my feed today as I logged in to make a comment on another creator’s video. Anyway, enjoying your videos as usual. Glad you’re back making more content. Love your work Anthony.
Was the cinema 4 open? I wish dead mall people were filming those too. I love old 4 screen or thereabout mall theaters or strip mall theaters or 2-4 screen standalone
Nice video when you’re in Vegas Vegas does have four shopping malls like the one you just showed but they’re none of them are dying. They’re all alive and well. And you’ll be close to one when you go to the Mirage. It’s called fashion show
I remember when this mall had an Orange Julius, York SteakHouse and a French Fry Factory. The golden age of the American mall. Good idea in theory, but with ultra capitalists running the show, most of those spaces are unaffordable by most people who could set up a reasonably profitable business. I worked with someone in that area who talked to the Indiana mall management team there (20+ years ago) to setup a PC repair shop in the mall. The cost was thousands a month, plus a hefty percentage of your profits thanks to all the foot traffic they bring you. If these spaces were nationalized by the gov, then they could be repaired and cheaply rented out to encourage more growth. There's no need for someone to make a killing on rent at these locations simply because they are convenient for citizens to gather at.
I always get notified of your videos in the subscriptions tab. I would think that everyone else would also be notified that way. I think the real problem is that either people don’t check their subscriptions on a regular basis, or they don’t watch everything that’s being offered from their subscriptions. This would be especially true if they’re subscribed to a lot of channels. Plus, people are busy, and RUclips is not their priority. There’s really nothing you can do to change any of this-it’s all down to people’s choice. But don’t stop putting out videos just because of these people, for then you would be letting down your core audience that do regularly watch you!!!
I think people just follow so many channels yours can’t always be the one suggested unfortunately. Just keep at it! You’ll get there. I would have liked to hear some history or perspective about this mall in this video though.
Can't remember the last time I saw a movie theater inside a mall! Did you know twelve oaks used to have a movie theater before they had the food court!
Nice video, but very sad to see the mall in that state. If you ever want a breath of fresh air, go to Danbury Fair Mall in Connecticut. Business is doing well there. That might be out of your way, so there should be a few videos of the place online.
Hey Ace, I seem to be getting the notifications. I think the algorithm has just been screwed up over the last few years. I've noticed if I don't immediately click on small creators video it will never show me them again in the suggestion list, I have to go look for it. The algorithm seems to biased toward what they want me to see and not what I'm interested in.
I’m 76 years old and to this day love this HBO introduction

Northern Reflections was a cool little store
@@BlueJay6441talk about a blast from the past, Northern Reflections is something I haven’t thought about in years.
Wow!!!...a working fountain...so nice to see...well done sir.
Many thanks
Intro and music on this one were amazing! 😁
Glad you liked it!
I'm an Indiana PA local and our mall is slowly coming back actually. We are getting a rural king and a few other stores in there!!
That's good to hear, it's a cute vintage gem
Anthony please do not give up making videos. I love seeing your videos looking forward to it
The 1980s vibe had me expecting teens hanging out.

It still excites me thinking the HBO Fleetwood Mac Mirage concert is coming on
That HBO intro hit all the feels 🤤 great video as always! 👏

Thank you 🙌
Classic intro, top notch!
Same here, I recognized that intro immediately after seeing it about a billion times when I was young,classic!
Love the music and how all the old malls like Eastern Hills, this mall, Boulevard has foundtions and plants..great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Maaaaaan that HBO intro brought me back!
I don’t have notifications on for anyone, but your videos show in my Home Screen when you post a new one.

I used to live very close to this mall. Went there a lot as a kid with my family. So cool to see this. Thank you.
I didn’t get the notification for this video, Ace! I hate missing premieres
Got the notification as always, and likewise beautiful time capsule of a mall you captured!
Thanks again!
Finally catching up with this; I was at a high school grad ceremony when this premiered. More good work, Anthony!
From the UK love the videos as of today this is the first one I had in my feed. Why... No idea love seeing American malls etc. So thank you from me
This is great 2 videos so close together great intro. I got the notification

Glad you liked it!
Keep up the great work Anthony, it’s great to see new content. I’ll watch whatever you put out. Take care.
You always knew something good was coming when that HBO theme played. I have all of your notifications turned on, but I get none of them!
Yeah You always bring a great video but the HBO intro adds something that is Superfly!
I thought it was fun :)
Loving the update videos Ace, I love the fountains and tiles at this mall.
Glad you like them!
Malls like this should have a little donation box at the entrance saying something like “We are glad you like our mall and welcome you to film and take pictures but please consider donating some cash to help keep away the wrecking ball - mall management”
I would help lol
love the hbo intro & the seating area outside jc penney reminds me of the bottom of the stairs on the brady bunch
Cant phathom how the mall can even keep the lights on?

That's my mall, wish it wasn't in the shape it is. Good memories from it from years ago.
I did not get notified. Rarely do so I always check. YT needs to get their stuff together.
I grew up in Indiana maybe .5 miles or less from this mall and still live there. I haven’t been to this mall in a long long time

Very Wonderful Video!!!!! I LOVE THE FOUNTAINS!!!!! F+L, Corey
I randomly get notifications. I got one for this, but not for your last 2 videos. At least I have 3 to watch now.😊 I enjoy your content. Well done.
