You did a great job! I remember the mall from the '90's when it was still new. I enjoyed the before photos which is the Mt. Berry Mall that I remember. Taking out the trees, plants, fountain, and carousel sure made it bland. Those things broke up the space but there was still plenty of room for people to walk without being crowded. The gray stripe around the edge right in front of the walls and stores was a walking path. People were walking it just about anytime of the day and evening. I don't remember the distance, but those who used it knew how far it was so they would know how far they had gone with each lap. It sure is strange seeing how it is now compared to what it used to be. I'm very surprised it's still hanging on. Belk has been struggling for a long time now, and if they go out of business it will be a huge blow to the mall. I enjoyed your video and getting to see it as it is now. Thank you very much for the shout-out and linking my channel! I really appreciate it! 👍
@@AmericanExplorer thanks for the feedback and extra info. Yeah, it’s incredible that this mall can keep on keeping on. They will need to get creative to save it.. and so far they haven’t demonstrated much creativity.
Yeah, they definitely don't have much 'heart' in it. There's zero character left in the building. I think the best thing to be said about it at this point is 'it's clean'... and that's just not enough.

Great video ❤
@@Ramenxofficial glad you enjoyed it. Have you ever been to this mall?
Yes I have many times I loved it so much if I ever had the money (which I probably won't) I would try to restore it to its former glory
If you have any memories of this mall you could share, I'd love to hear about it.
It's frustrating just how hardheaded the owners are. Like... I would simply like to ask them "Is this as good as it gets?"
