HI Sal I'm a Security guard in a very old facility I deal with trespassers all of the time when I find a explorer I'm more worried about there safety I only call the Cops if I need help with a thif or a fighter if you are taking pictures i remind you of the dangers of the property and tell you something like you are lucky I'm the nice guard the ether guards are mean please don't come back
Great fountain. The general decor really speaks to folks my age, I suspect. The announcements are brilliant. Kyle thinks he's in a Dirty Harry movie, wotta maroon. Also, the Help Wanted sign at the end is ** chef's kiss **
The crazy thing is the state troopers are usually pretty cool. They probably would have been like are you kidding me?? How bout I arrest you for harassment and false reports instead. 🤣🤣🤣
The Ketchup Gremlin Security Sure got his bag moment of Fame here! I like it towards the end where he looked like a Giant, popping up from behind the building! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
They're mostly afraid people are trying to case the joint, I suppose. Also, some of the passersby might find it a nuisance and be angry about getting filmed.
I think for the dead ones (and even the living ones) so thieves can't see anything relating to the layout, but I think, for the dead malls, that's just pure crap there because I doubt anyone would steal from such a barren place. Dead malls on the other hand, I feel they don't want anyone filming it because they don't want anyone to see their failure. (Pride and Vanity) If I owned one, I would allow filming in the main areas, the for the occupied stores it's up to their management. The video that results from it may bring in more tenants, instead of scare them away. (also would bring more staff like maintenance.) Alas, that isn't the case though because when mall owners get enough money, it just becomes poison to the mall and kills it a majority of the time. They really should be putting it back into the care for the mall. (I saw that one green looking spot (must be algae) on the floor in one of the seating areas)
Any faults the camera finds might be used against them in a court case. Any risk the mall can take to avoid being sued is a worthwhile one, even if nothing comes of the footage.
@@FIXTREMEFORTNITE TIME!! blasted security guard and ran off before anyone could see it. “Player’s name eliminated guard with a pistol “ flashed on bottom left hand corner of the screen
Having been in the Great Gulag of Indiana County in the past, I can only say that the mall security cop pretty much summed up the local business mindset.
8:20 That "No pictures" voiceover reminded me of the "NO POMEGRANATES!" video that went viral a couple of years ago. (It went viral because people took it out of context)
That's problem sal, you get power hungry idiot's in those positions sometimes. They think they can violate people's rights because there security. But fortunately we live in America where we do have civil rights. That's good that little man got fired, because he cannot take your phone or get in your car because you need a warrant from actual law enforcement or it is against the law.
Lucky. Where I'm from, the Bill of Rights against warrantless arrests and searches only apply to law enforcement, not to security guards hired by private entities
Yet you slap on a mask when the tv says so. Its called private property. Get a clue and stop shreaking about how you ruined someones livelihood because you were trespassing. Spoiled rotten.
This is awesome Sal! I just discovered your channel. This video brought back memories as I attended IUP from 1984-1989. Indiana Mall was a staple. I remember seeing "Dead Poets Society" at the theatre there. Thank you so much!
God, this is a flashback and a half. went to IUP, so that drive up. hell, I've walked to that mall, then around it to wait for a movie showtime so many times, and there was a killer arcade that use to be there. that pizza place is great, and there was a great hibachi/sushi place called the Shinobi. the K mart bathroom had a gloryhole for a while, creeply enough.
Back to watch again thanks to the short! I totally forgot to comment years ago about that amazing York Steakhouse facade you showed a few times in the video. I grew up with York at the Brunswick Sqaure Mall in East Brunswick, NJ. 🎉🎉🎉 It’s been about 20 years since I have been to this mall. I doubt I will get back.
That is a great time capsule of a 70s mall . I once had a manager , a smart lady at JCP in the 80s say some people should never be put in a position of authority. That’s always stuck with me . Obviously “Kyle” was one of those people and not an example of most security . Sad
Poor Kyle the mall cop. I bet he cried when he had to turn in that one size too big polo shirt, knowing he'll never again feel that godlike power like he had as an Indiana Mall First Responder. A true hero. A first ballot inductee into the Indiana Pennsylvania Retail Hall of Fame. All hail the Kyle !!
I live by that mall, man I was there once. Mall was so sad. Pretty cool you cover malls in Pa. they where a big part of my childhood. Especially century 3 and uniontown mall.
Once again Sal, you absolutely KILLED IT with this one!! 👌👌👌👌👌 And I LOVE how you edited in those "ghosts" of that greasy little Paul Blart wannabe. 😂😂😂😂😂
I was here during the christmas season last year, and they had a choir set up. That was pretty much the only thing going on in the mall, alongside a model railway that had set up in one of the inline tenants. A couple of interesting local tenants in Indiana, glad I got to hear more about it!
I was hoping for a chase scene: Sal on his powered board, cape fluttering majestically in his wake, hotly pursued by Mr Blart on a Turbo Segway, yelling obscenities
"Hurry they're coming they're comin (weird pause) Ahhhhhh!!!" Definitely, you should apply for the Blart position Sal. The public of Indiana need you!!! :D
That wall at 12:08 is what's left of an old York Steak House location. I remember my grandparents dragging me to the location in Westview Mall on 40 when I was a kid in the 70's.
Amazing video Sal! I've recently subscribed your channel and I got hooked instantly! I've watched all the abandoned mall series just for a week. Greetings from UK and hope to see in Europe soon! Keep safe !
I used to work at a Bed Bath & Beyond at a strip mall. That strip mall had a Target. One night while I was working, a member of Target's security team chased a shoplifter out of Target. There was a river behind the strip mall & it was pitch dark behind the strip mall at night.The shoplifter fell into the river & drowned. Any mall cop/store security member with half a brain should know that you NEVER chase anyone for any reason outside your place of business. If anything happens to the person being chased, it's on the business/mall they are being chased from.

Thank you for another wonderful video Sal! I appreciate your work! Also that security gaurd, man...wow that's like Paul Blart mall cop levels of dumb stuff but as you know there are bad apples and he was one of them! Glad you were able to be peaceful when Kyle could not.
Great vid man... I live in indiana and found this vid very well put together .. next time u go there look in the bathroom stall ima right something down and hope u get it in the next vid .. 💯😂
The last day I visited Charlestowne Mall on its final day in 2017(aside from Carson's and Von Maur, never mind Carson's has since closed), I remember being confronted by mall security there. One of the 2 guards was an older guard who was IMO nice, and the other guard was a younger guard(probably like the age of 'Kyle') who was more on the rude side. Who at first warned me about not taking photos, so I played it on the DL and quietly took pics after that. At least when I was kicked out was when I finally had taken all the indoor pics of the mall hallways I wanted, and a la that stupid Indiana Mall guard, he told me the usual threat that if you're seen back inside, police will be called. I had the last laugh that day at that younger guard, since I quietly was taking photos of the exterior after I was kicked out that day. And also quietly went into Carson's and Von Maur, without any issues. :) The guard Kyle at Indiana Mall was on another level(vs. the guard I encountered at Charlestowne), of being rude and being a jerk! And who I remember did that both to Doomie Grunt, besides yourself. It sucks you had to deal with that, but of course any guards like that will never stop any of us from taking photos! Finally you picked the best movie clip yet, since to me I think Mystery Science Theater 3000 could've parodied that movie really well!
I don't know why but I really find this mall a esthetically pleasing. Thanks for the heads up on bon Tom, I'm shocked that thye have an internet presence and might be making a comeback to say the least.
Sal, I was just up in the Southern Tier of New York. Binghamton has three places of interest that figured prominently in my childhood: the Oakdale Mall (rapidly dying), the Metrocenter Mall downtown (has to be dead but it's still standing), and a massive standalone downtown Boscovs (in a building that dates back to the early 20th century as a Fowler's). Figured it may be a trio that would interest you. Not sure how much longer the mall will be around and I'm shocked that Boscovs still exists today.
Sal, it just felt like this particular "mall cop" is the kind of guy that has the "everybody is a crook" mentality quite a lot of security people (and even some store employees and management) exhibit in "poorer neighborhoods", whether it's the people's fault or not. Glad he was shown "the pink slip" and got the good people of Indiana, PA "out of their misery"... PS: Googled about that "Terminator II" (as originally sold as) movie story... Interesting.
10:24 - 11:00 = I remember going to K-Mart in Bismarck, ND back in the 90's with my DAD SIDE Grandparents MY GRANDMA LOVED THE BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL: I just went for the atmosphere of it all and a SLICE OF PEPPERONI PIZZA: MANY TIMES!! It made me laugh inside when the announcement came over the intercom and the IN STORE Little Caesars, DESIGNATED STAGING AREA, would clear out faster than if yelled FIRE IN THE BUILDING!!! It was fun to chat with the people waiting for there spouses to return from THE HUNT as well.... GOOD TIMES!!!
I've always found the best strategy is to not engage. Never tell them anything, deny you were doing anything. Ask for their name and who they work for, etc. Always remember its more than their job is worth to actually do anything and police response time in rural areas is abysmal.
Hit that Like button upon arrival here, and show Sal your dedication to his Channel, A like followed up with a genuine comment, goes a long way for us explorer creators, Thanks Y'all
I am from Indiana, PA, I also have worked in the Mall in 1990,as a Sales Associate at the Former BonTon, I don't remember seeing any Mall Security. OMG, I was a Cashier at one point at Capri Pizza ! This is exactly how I remember the Indiana Mall ! It was a Gorgeous Mall, Not only to work in but also to be a shopper. !! I'm sorry, What did You just say ? The Regency Mall is now demolished ??? You have to be kidding me !!! Let me guess iup bought the Regency Mall and built dormitories.
What an idiot that "security" guard was. Probably didn't want his wife or husband to see him chatting with some ladies. Anyway, great video Sal! Thank you
i used to work at the Things Remembered kiosk in this mall. and i SPECIFICALLY remember that security guard being creepy towards me every single day that i worked there.
our kiosk was so small that only one person could work in it. and i was full time, so i was there 90% of the time. i remember him coming up to me literally every single day and making me feel super weird.
I loved the aesthetics of this mall. This is why we need to declare structures from the 60s and 70s historic. The original New York Penn Station was only 53 years old when it was demolished, not much older than this mall. Look at what was torn down, look at the monstrosity that replaced it. I would hate to see this space turned into a power center, or even worse, just a Walmart. Once vintage architecture is gone, its gone forever.
I saw that security guard at the mall. Yeah yesterday I was at the Indiana Mall. The water fountain was off. It was sucks. That’s what I saw was turned on.
So there isn't much in the mall but most of the candy machines are broken. The train one is the best, don't put quarters in it as it just eats them, turn the knob counter clockwise, then turn it clockwise, and repeat and it just keeps dispensing candy. I still do that there when we go there
I hope he got a chance to go there while filming this. I always loved those coin operated TV’s. Unfortunately they closed their mall location now. They moved into the old Pizza House location by IUP and were doing OK until the whole COVID thing. Their new location has been temporarily closed for a while now. Nobody knows if they’ll be reopening or not. If they are out of business, that would be a shame. Great pizza and wonderful owners.
I just had to deal with a similar kind of person... I was trying to be kind and calm and this guy was so into his own "power", he was relishing every moment of holding it over me... too many people in those kinds of positions are like that.
It's a Zamias-run mall, I'm not shocked that they 1. hire people like Kyle, 2. pay abysmal rates, and 3. the mall is utterly dead. I grew up with the Johnstown Galleria running the already existing Richland Mall (which is where Richland Town Centre is now) out of business. Since the Richland Mall closed, the Galleria started to go downhill, which is the case with any Zamias property. I had spoken with (and known) several business owners that were tenants in the Galleria, and the common theme is that Zamias' started jacking the rent up to the point where most businesses either chose to ditch, or just couldn't afford to stay at the Galleria. The popular rumor I've always heard was that Zamias had strong mob ties which kept his dead malls still open; now I don't know if that's true or not, but it would make some sense considering the amount of power that him and Ed Cernic had in the area. Whenever Wal Mart moved down to Richland Town Centre around 2002-2003, rumor also had it that they struck a deal with Richland Township where they would deny permits to any other store (*ahem* Target) that would be in direct competition with Walmart...which explains why Walmart is the only option in the Johnstown area.
Wow! That sucks! Kyle the Mall Cop reminds me of the City of Provo when they wanted to charge me with Criminal Trespassing for filming a walkthrough of an old movie theater. Problem was...I touched nothing, took nothing, left nothing...just filmed and photographed and left it exactly the way I found it.
I felt like there isn't a lot of the mall's history that's known, since you mainly talked about the anchors the mall had. That means as recently as about 2015 the mall was doing well?
Mall cop got fired. I got an application to work there as security. Let me know if I should go through with it. Love you all.

You would be the coolest mall cop!
Sal you should go with it it will be a great job for you
Busting people's balls because we are fans of a fountain in a vintage Bon Ton. That had me rolling. Keep up the good work man.
The music that goes with the confrontation is perfect
Holy crap! I needed this laugh! Truly the textbook twit!
Great fountain. The general decor really speaks to folks my age, I suspect. The announcements are brilliant. Kyle thinks he's in a Dirty Harry movie, wotta maroon.
Also, the Help Wanted sign at the end is ** chef's kiss **
Lmaoooooo that ending with the mall cop poppin up in the sky has me in tears 😭🤣😂
Ok Karen, calm down with your state police threat. 😂
Yea, can you imagine the State Police Officers reaction? " Dammit, Delbert down at the mall is calling for back up again.....wtf!"
The crazy thing is the state troopers are usually pretty cool. They probably would have been like are you kidding me?? How bout I arrest you for harassment and false reports instead. 🤣🤣🤣

Your fade in of the mall cop is just the best ever! Thank you.

Ahhhhhhhh man.... SO fuckin funny!
Why are malls so against pictures and videos? I’m genuinely asking.
They're mostly afraid people are trying to case the joint, I suppose. Also, some of the passersby might find it a nuisance and be angry about getting filmed.
I think for the dead ones (and even the living ones) so thieves can't see anything relating to the layout, but I think, for the dead malls, that's just pure crap there because I doubt anyone would steal from such a barren place. Dead malls on the other hand, I feel they don't want anyone filming it because they don't want anyone to see their failure. (Pride and Vanity)
If I owned one, I would allow filming in the main areas, the for the occupied stores it's up to their management. The video that results from it may bring in more tenants, instead of scare them away. (also would bring more staff like maintenance.)

They really should be putting it back into the care for the mall. (I saw that one green looking spot (must be algae) on the floor in one of the seating areas)
I think the dead malls don’t want pictures or videos online showing how dead they are which could repel shoppers
Any faults the camera finds might be used against them in a court case. Any risk the mall can take to avoid being sued is a worthwhile one, even if nothing comes of the footage.
Malls frowning on photography goes way, way back...
At least that mall cop isnt allowed too have a gun. Could you imagine?
Probably can’t even pass the federal background check to buy a gun
Too much of a liability for the property owner.

Sal, it just felt like this particular "mall cop" is the kind of guy that has the "everybody is a crook" mentality quite a lot of security people (and even some store employees and management) exhibit in "poorer neighborhoods", whether it's the people's fault or not.
Glad he was shown "the pink slip" and got the good people of Indiana, PA "out of their misery"...
PS: Googled about that "Terminator II" (as originally sold as) movie story... Interesting.
10:24 - 11:00 = I remember going to K-Mart in Bismarck, ND back in the 90's with my DAD SIDE Grandparents
MY GRANDMA LOVED THE BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL: I just went for the atmosphere of it all
and a SLICE OF PEPPERONI PIZZA: MANY TIMES!!
It made me laugh inside when the announcement came over the intercom and the IN STORE
Little Caesars, DESIGNATED STAGING AREA, would clear out faster than if yelled FIRE IN
THE BUILDING!!! It was fun to chat with the people waiting for there spouses to return from
THE HUNT as well.... GOOD TIMES!!!
I've always found the best strategy is to not engage. Never tell them anything, deny you were doing anything. Ask for their name and who they work for, etc. Always remember its more than their job is worth to actually do anything and police response time in rural areas is abysmal.
There is a small roller rink in it now :)! It occupies two vacancies, i think.

Omgeeee,,Sal...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But the application....🤣👍
Can never mistake a classic 80s/90s Sear anchorfront.
I am from Indiana, PA, I also have worked in the Mall in 1990,as a Sales Associate at the Former BonTon, I don't remember seeing any Mall Security.
OMG, I was a Cashier at one point at Capri Pizza ! This is exactly how I remember the Indiana Mall ! It was a Gorgeous Mall, Not only to work in but also to be a shopper. !!
I'm sorry, What did You just say ? The Regency Mall is now demolished ??? You have to be kidding me !!! Let me guess iup bought the Regency Mall and built dormitories.
Your video editing and script treatment on the gremlin security guard was brilliant.
That movie in the beginning looks good
What an idiot that "security" guard was. Probably didn't want his wife or husband to see him chatting with some ladies. Anyway, great video Sal! Thank you
Still laughing at Mall Cop Douchbag. Simply Amazing. Love your videos :o) Thank You.
The JC Penney at Fingerlakes Mall is one of the stores that is closing.
I think Sal has more fun editing the movies than the malls
Gave you a "thumbs up" Sal for a great head of hair!!!
i used to work at the Things Remembered kiosk in this mall. and i SPECIFICALLY remember that security guard being creepy towards me every single day that i worked there.
our kiosk was so small that only one person could work in it. and i was full time, so i was there 90% of the time. i remember him coming up to me literally every single day and making me feel super weird.
This bad movie clip from the beginning reminds me of the Aliens franchise. lol
Turbo molecular decomposition. Aliens has sex with terminator and has that living mistake..lmao!
I loved the aesthetics of this mall. This is why we need to declare structures from the 60s and 70s historic. The original New York Penn Station was only 53 years old when it was demolished, not much older than this mall. Look at what was torn down, look at the monstrosity that replaced it. I would hate to see this space turned into a power center, or even worse, just a Walmart. Once vintage architecture is gone, its gone forever.
Kyle probably had the Fountain drained to deter future shoppers from using cameras.
I saw that security guard at the mall. Yeah yesterday I was at the Indiana Mall. The water fountain was off. It was sucks. That’s what I saw was turned on.
Was the scifi movie filmed at this PA mall?
Hilarious. You should use his image to close out your videos or sneak his picture into your videos just to see if he can be spotted. So funny.
2:26 - 5:55 = Ah, 80's Limburger, MY FAVORITE!!
The mall in Tyler Texas was doing well in 2019 and then COVID happened and now it’s a nearly dead mall
Ending is hilarious> LOL
So there isn't much in the mall but most of the candy machines are broken. The train one is the best, don't put quarters in it as it just eats them, turn the knob counter clockwise, then turn it clockwise, and repeat and it just keeps dispensing candy. I still do that there when we go there
Great job on the video Sal.
The Havanera from Carmen of Bizet? Noice choice
Shocking dark, wow..
used to love Capri pizza when I lived there
That security guard looks like a dolphin, NGL
Meanwhile, somewhere in the mall, there's an opportunity to shoplift.....
Did you go into Capri Pizza? They have little coin operated TVs in their booths. I can send a picture if you didn't get to see them.
I hope he got a chance to go there while filming this. I always loved those coin operated TV’s. Unfortunately they closed their mall location now. They moved into the old Pizza House location by IUP and were doing OK until the whole COVID thing. Their new location has been temporarily closed for a while now. Nobody knows if they’ll be reopening or not. If they are out of business, that would be a shame. Great pizza and wonderful owners.
I just had to deal with a similar kind of person... I was trying to be kind and calm and this guy was so into his own "power", he was relishing every moment of holding it over me... too many people in those kinds of positions are like that.
I live in elkhart Indiana and i have a local mall thats still packed
That movie needs the Rifftrax treatment.
It's a Zamias-run mall, I'm not shocked that they 1. hire people like Kyle, 2. pay abysmal rates, and 3. the mall is utterly dead. I grew up with the Johnstown Galleria running the already existing Richland Mall (which is where Richland Town Centre is now) out of business. Since the Richland Mall closed, the Galleria started to go downhill, which is the case with any Zamias property. I had spoken with (and known) several business owners that were tenants in the Galleria, and the common theme is that Zamias' started jacking the rent up to the point where most businesses either chose to ditch, or just couldn't afford to stay at the Galleria. The popular rumor I've always heard was that Zamias had strong mob ties which kept his dead malls still open; now I don't know if that's true or not, but it would make some sense considering the amount of power that him and Ed Cernic had in the area. Whenever Wal Mart moved down to Richland Town Centre around 2002-2003, rumor also had it that they struck a deal with Richland Township where they would deny permits to any other store (*ahem* Target) that would be in direct competition with Walmart...which explains why Walmart is the only option in the Johnstown area.
sad to see my local mall become a husk of what it used to be
Wow! That sucks! Kyle the Mall Cop reminds me of the City of Provo when they wanted to charge me with Criminal Trespassing for filming a walkthrough of an old movie theater. Problem was...I touched nothing, took nothing, left nothing...just filmed and photographed and left it exactly the way I found it.
I felt like there isn't a lot of the mall's history that's known, since you mainly talked about the anchors the mall had. That means as recently as about 2015 the mall was doing well?
