    I don't think the decore has changed since the mall opened iirc. It was a glorious sight to behold back in the early days for a small child. Now like so many other places it will go into the records as some place that once was. Thanks for the video. Now I'm gonna have a drink.

    My wife and I visited in 2021. It's a cherished memory. Walking around, we were warned the Security Guard might try to harass us for documenting the Mall, the NY owner's marching orders for fear of people seeing how dilapidated the place is, but we kept a decent walking pace and only went where we were allowed. The bathrooms were well kept per my wife to both our surprise. This was the best abandoned Mall I think I could wish for and my only experience, wish I would've gone again in 2022. The escalators smelled like dry electric which to me falls in line with the 12.22 'fire hazard' and the old empty fountains did seem like maybe a switch had been left on somewhere, back to the smell. Beyond that to avoid break ins to places, presumably the theaters and back halls, the exits were sealed, which isn't legal. The theatre was visible at my visit, the old poster light boards had been vandalized. Insulation was coming out of the lobby walls presumably due to water damage. Would have greatly enjoyed Paid tours, but I understand that'd be a waiver in and of itself.

      I heard horror stories about the security harassing people just for taking pictures. I haven’t gotten harassed here. Except for one time when we were walking around the old Biggs market outside. The mall is actually closed now, Brass Pro Shop moving out and the mall is scheduled for demolition any day now.

    The existing Bass Pro Shops will close and relocate to a new 150,000 sq. ft. building at the “Streets of West Chester “ in the Union Centre area of West Chester, Butler County, Ohio.

    I remember coming here as a kid and recently when Arcade Legacy was still there. I have a picture when a decently sized smash bros tournament took a lot of space around the pig gazebo

    I really love the bright colors in this mall. It’s a shame that stores couldn’t be brought back and the mall revitalized. It looks kind of creepy with the shadows. Isn’t there a bounce place and arcade still there or did they move out as well.

    The mall closed a few days ago due to health code violations. I’d say that was the death blow to this place. It’s not reopening at this point. If you never seen this place but never got the chance you won’t be missing much. Just an empty building with buckets collecting rain water is all that’s left. If the visible parts of the mall are that bad…I’d hate to see what the movie theatres look like.
