    How depressing. I remember this mall being so busy. I once lost where I parked my car there. I miss Boston Store, Gimbels and Marshall Fields. I loved the Linden room at Marshall Fields in Mayfair mall.

    I spent nearly 25 years working in Malls from 73 to around 96. I think Southridge has a good fighting chance of making it and the mere fact that people are there and the many stores are there give hope. Nice video

    I live in Hales Corners WI just less than 4.5miles away from Southridge Mall I think it is AWSOME PLACE TO GO TO!!!!!!! For all the people who think this MALL is not great think agin it is next to (4 Wal-Mart Stores)(4 Target Stores) & (2 Meijer Stores) all under 5.0miles away from Southridge!!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

    I’m glad videos like this exist! It’s great pairing this up with the Northridge videos. The two were once remarkably similar, and you can really see how Southridge shows a parallel universe where Northridge never closed!

    I was a pre-teen when it opened. I would walk down 75th street there with my friends to hang out and shop. I have moved away but the early years have such memories. Thanks for sharing.

    I honestly like Southridge Mall. It's our local neighborhood mall, so I truly do not think it that it should get demolished for decades to come. There should be new tenants to open up businesses in the mall. Those businesses could be a new Barns & Noble Booksellers on the 76th street side of the mall, where Boston store used to be. And truly think that in the back of the mall, could become any store like a nice home store, and any good quality furniture store, in the former Kohl's space on either level as well.

    Me too Doomie, I am definitely NOT A FAN of the Modern Contemporary style of malls either. I totally prefer vintage malls or modern malls that have lots of creativity with colour and the interior and exterior design.

  • @mikem9856
    @mikem9856 2 года назад +4

    It may not be spectacular, but it's very clean and has a nice atmosphere. I was there last Saturday afternoon and it was busy with quite a few shoppers. Very encouraging to see.

  • @jacobsekela8691
    @jacobsekela8691 2 года назад +8

    I actually don't mind the modern interior as it still has some hints of the original. It looks like this mall might actually have a chance to survive and grow going forward, and ironically I think the new Macy's could keep it from going under, as well as the Round 1 and Dick's.

  • @iworkout6912
    @iworkout6912 2 года назад +5

    The mall looks like you said, it has a fighting chance of surviving. Not every mall is going to be gone, we just had way to many malls everywhere and the strongest survive. There are a number of those roll around stands that sell everything from sun glasses to remodeling companies bathtubs. A weak mall doesn't have them anymore, as they can move on if there isn't enough foot traffic. Great work Doomie, I like how you revisit some malls if you feel there is good cause to see the mall again.

  • @djm5k
    @djm5k Год назад +2

    It’s nice to see malls somewhat thrive in this day and age. The mall should remain in place and updated with the latest trends. I did notice there were some big box stores outside the enclosed part of the mall which helps keep it alive. With Northridge gone, they need to keep this mall alive. Maybe add some entertainment and nice restaurants for daytime and evening enjoyment? However, since the mall is so generic, it could be anywhere in the US. It seems like all malls in the US have the same exact token stores like JCPenney, Spencer’s Gifts, Macy*s, etc.

    3 things wrong with Southridge: expensive rent, weekend or holiday traffic, and the bus stops outside of the mall property making customers have to walk a distance to the mall

    Having been here around my birthday last year I loved this place. The nerdy store in the former Disney store was cool. That Mexican place you showed in the beginning was good and the MadChicken was excellent too. I went to the one in Mayfair Mall. The Macy's looked nice as well and I fell in love with the Round1. Southridge was one of my favorite out of state malls I ever been to.

    I wonder if the cold, corporate and stark appearance and feeling of modern malls is the way to go? Has anybody tried to make a mall more cozy with more "people" feel? Smaller stores but unique? A wild thought I guess.

    It looks like a thriving mall. It’s too bad its sister mall Northridge closed in 2003, 21 years ago. I don’t like the modern mall look but every mall looks like that now. It’s great to finally see a thriving mall! There are still a few out there.

    I wish I had noticed that hallway with vintage pics of Southridge, when I visited here in the past. I also remember Arby's used to be in its food court, but has closed since I was here in the 2010s. And I really like that HOME- Burning song you used, here!

    Once the Disney Store closed, there was really no reason for me to ever visit Southridge again. I was last there right before Covid and it felt so empty.
