This mall was the best as a kid in the 90's. You had a movie theater, right across from the movie theater was a big comic shop, right next to that was a giant arcade, right next to that was an EB games, and a few doors down was a music store. A little further down in the mall was a Discovery Zone.
you are from my era of hudson mall. i used to shop and hang out in the music store, arcade, watch movies in the theatre, and ride the little ries in the middle .
I've had fun memories visiting Hudson Mall during field trips with my local YMCA to Discovery Zone in the early & mid 90s. Me & my brothers had a blast going to the movies & playing at the arcade. It was a smaller but fun alternative to Newport Mall located on the other side of Jersey City. Good Times.
I grew up going to that mall to hang out in the 80s and 90s. It used to have a movie theater, huge arcade, eb games, etc. That whole area was booming during Christmas in those days. There was also a Bradlees next to that mall and a Toys R US on the South end. Throughout the years, that mall was slowly dying. It only got worse when Newport Mall opened in downtown because the people on the Westside of JC could take a bus (now the light rail) to go there instead of Hudson. I'm surprised it took this long for that mall to be demolished.
@@jrzygrl2012wow music was like the Revolver records of Jersey City. They would have official albums by the bands of the day and bootleg concert albums behind them. I used to get those black and white cotton rock shirts there and Grateful Dead patches for my jeans jacket. There was a Cole’s Books and that theater showed The Rocky Horror Picture Show every weekend. There was a tv and appliance store in one corner, and they sold a gigantic magnifying glass on a stand that you put in front of your tv to enlarge the picture. We were there a lot in the 80s. Sad to see what it turned into.
i used to go to this mall a lot when i was younger. it used to be so full of life. i remember getting some adidas shoes at footaction and going to the movie theater (the place with the neon lights). the more i went the emptier it felt. the buffet was one of the reasons we kept going with my family. the last time i went there was last year with some friends. they went in the bath and body works and i remember standing outside just looking around and realizing we we’re basically the only ones at the mall. one of the reasons many people don’t go to that mall anymore is because of newport mall which is another mall in jersey city and it’s much bigger with more options. rip hudson mall.
Growing up in the 80’s my friends and I loved hanging out at the Hudson mall, especially at Good Times which was the arcade….now the mall is on life support and has been for years.
Oh wow! I worked at Thom McCann AND Kinney shoes in The early 80s -I even Remember this mall in the 70s before it became a mall and it was only a strip of outside stores like a plaza…
This was my mall growing up. The only picture with Santa I ever got was here in 1975 ( I was 6) and I still have it. I also still have the stocking my parents had made for me here. Hung out here in high school all the time. This was the only mall that was open at the time in the 70s and 80s until 1986 when Newport Mall opened. First place I ever went shopping by myself. Theater had $2 movies and midnight Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd laser light shows. I think it played Rocky Horror too. Not sure as I was too young to go. The stores I remember from the 70s and 80s there: Hudson Mall Cinema, WOW records, the Gap with the original logo that sold t-shirts that you could pick an iron on and have them put it on ringer t shirts in front of you as you waited; Lerner; Chess King; Mandees; Casual Corner; a wallpaper store; a pizzeria where everyone used to hang out; A book store; Thom McCann; Kinney Shoes; Good Times Arcade; Pants Place Plus; Canadians; Singer sewing machine store; A store that made homemade chocolates where everything was amazing and they sold chocolate ice cubes at the register (if you don't know what those are google it); a bank; a store that sold gold jewelry; that religious store was always there and I can't believe it's still there; same with that Asian shop on the other end that sold a lot of interesting stuff. Also, a convenience store, Stuart's womens clothing; Petite Sophisticate; Ponderosa Steak House; Donut King. Going wayyyy back outside was a huge Two Guys that had absolutely everything. When they went out of buisness they broke it up into: Consumers, a dentist office, an eye doctor, Bradlees, a shop that sold discount items, La Pizza, and Shop Rite. Eventually they all went out of buisness too and they knocked everything down. On the other end of the parking lot was a free-standing Toys R Us. All the kids got their toys at either Two Guys or Toys R Us. And across the highway was Garfield Dinettes and Grandma's Pancake House. So sad everything is gone now. As you walked down the mall I was seeing each store where they used to be. Wow now I'm throughly depressed lol.
When I was a rookie cop in the late 80's, my foot post was the Hudson Mall. I remember every store that you've mentioned Anna, thanks for bringing back some fond memories.
I use to work across the street at the Ford dealership about 20 years ago and swung by the Hudson Mall a few times and it use to be kinda busy back then. Now I drive by there in my truck a few times a day and cant believe how dead it looks. Thanks for the video
I grew up in Jersey City that was a cool place at one time. The Rodeo Steak House was there and the arcade I think it was called Good Times... Thx for the tour of my old home town. Moved to Tobyhanna, Pa. In 2014
About 20 years ago. I used to go to that arcade, get a burger and fries, I think it was called Pinocchio's,. or wok and roll, and go to the movies. All for $10.
This mall was what i grew up going to. The Regal Cinema movie theater, Good Times Arcade, Heros & Villans comic book shop, Shout! Clothing store, Pinocchio's Pizzeria, and can't forget Wow Records. The blonde guy that worked there was there forever and very knowledgeable. I remember people humming a song to him and asking who sang it and he always had the answers. I also remember in the 80's Ricky the Dragon Steamboat WWF wrestler was there for autographs and photos.
That's a shame. That place seemed to pack quite a lot of personality in such a little building. Thank you for documenting it for us before it's changed completely!
Today’s my birthday. This was the first place I was allowed to go to alone with my friends as a kid. Movies, arcade, and Villagio Pizza. So many great memories Thank you
OMG! I was just there today and I literally broke down into tears! Hudson Mall was the got to place for many of us that lived around the area. It was where my dad had his first job in Jersey and my first job when I was in HS. I remember going to the Bank, Wok N' Roll for lunch, Foot Locker, the arcade, New York and Company, Payless, Jimmy Jazz, Rite Aid, Afterthoughts, Sam Goody, Radio Shack, Lerners, the Pizza Place, Jennifer Convertibles, the coffee cart, the nail spot, HR Block where I also worked for a brief time, the movie theater, some small boutiques and it was booming! It was always packed on the weekends. And after a day of shopping and browsing, you'd hit up iHop! Memories! I'm 38 and it makes me so sad that there are so many things leaving. I guess all good things must come to an end. I was told that there will be a Target around that area soon. Hudson Mall would always have a special place in my childhood memory. Hopefully Newport Mall is doing what it can to stay in business too.
I live a mile from here. They have been de-malling this for like 10 years. That place with the neon signs was a theater. It took them like a year of 2 to reno it. They then opened back up for 10 days. Sandy hit. They some months later. Than the company went out of business in 2018.
Heck, I remember going to the mall when I was a kid in the 70’s. We used to have Arthur Treacher‘s fish and chips, the candy Emporium, Baskin Robbins, a record store, and before the movie theater there was this steak restaurant I believe it was called Bonanza. The best four dollar steak money could buy with a big potato and a big slab of Texas toast. not as good as Al Newman‘s down the road in the parking lot of Great Eastern, but was really good. and how many of you remember when they set up the pool in the middle of the mall filled it with trout and you could go fishing with those silly rubber worms?
I have fond memories going to this mall as a kid the movie theater the arcade the Philippine restaurant…it’s really depressing to see it like this like a bit of your childhood died. This mall was really the best back then
You missed where the bathrooms were. They had photos of all the old school activities and generations of kids who’ve participated in them. All the Easter and Christmas fun. I remember tediously looking through them to find myself and my friends
They used to have a Burget King with Neon and Hollywood memorabilia in the malls parking lot but sadly it closed. There were from what I gathered 5 BK’s like it but Amityville NY is the last one left. Also there is a Military themed Burger King in Linden NJ
I'm putting together a Burger King video in the future. It will be a compilation of unupdated BKs, mostly in NJ and Eastern PA. I'm including the Linden one you described. I would like to check out the Hollywood themed ones you mentioned, I know there's one like that in Brooklyn too. However, driving to NYC/LI is a pain in the ass for me, so I don't know if I'll make that happen. But there will be a cool Burger King video out in the future, I can't really say when though
That mall was awesome back in the 90s. We’d go to the movies, play in the arcade and then eat at the Pizza Hut. There were always teenagers there. So sad to see it now.
2:41 yes that did infact used to be a movie theater which was really good by the way and was the first ever cinema I went to but one day it just closed down with no warning or explanation.
When we were kids, this was the mall to go to in the 90s. We’d walk for 30 mins to get here but it was worth it. Newport was on the other side of the city and you had to take a bus ride to get there. Hudson Mall has been dying the slowest of deaths for 20+ years now. Always wished Simon or Westfield would buy the property and build it up but the money is at Newport.
A mere shadow of a once thriving mall. It had a book store and every other kind of store you would expect. Went to that movie theater many times and then could walk over to the Toys R Us next door. It really is a shame to see it like this.
Was this mall located on Route 440. If so there was a Two Guys store located nearby. Further down was a Pathmark and still further going south was Roosevelt Stadium.
This was once a cool place to come to as a younger kid toys r us n kids r us use to be there along with a catalog store where years ago we'd go look through a catalog order items n then go back there to pick them up.. the ShopRite was where we shopped on Saturday nights then over the the pizza place not pizza hut though ..it was another pizza place that I can still taste it was so good the popcorn was delicious it's changed so much since the 80s great memories miss those times
The room with the neon was a Movie Theater, right across from there was the Arcade. The GameStop is so bad you can tell they don't care and the only place with a consistent flow is the Bath and Body Works store and food places
It would be nice to have an arcade again but I guess you will need extra security because teens may cause trouble. The Chuckee Cheeses there is very popular with younger kids and their parents.
Great tour! I remember this mall from many many moons ago. It's too bad it's dying. Did you ever go to The Millcreek Mall in Secaucus? Haven't been there in years. I wonder if it's still alive.
I went to the movie theater there back in 2015 and it was horrible the worst movie theater I ever went to. It was dirty, uncomfortable and the projector screen wasn't set up right, which make watching the movie hard. I don't even remember it looking that nice, I was there at night and it was really dark and dingy. Being there actually made me depressed.
I remember when there was nothing there, back in the 60's. Then they had the Theater and a few stores that were not enclosed in the mall. Then later the mall was built.. I use to work in Mandees when they first opened that store, we set it up before the opening. I haven't been there and recently moved from Jersey City so this mall basically just had stores come and go. I lost interest in the mall long ago.
Is this the Mall that had a Steak House restaurant with flashing yellow lights on the outside? I can't remember the the name of the place, it was so long ago, but, someone please tell me I'm not crazy & that my memory is correct?
I believe that the Bonanza was the 1st place with the Texas toast. You ordered at the conter cafeteria style. Everything was flame broiled and was great. I think ponderosa took over from them.
i remember 2 guys, great eastern, drive in theater, in the early 70s.i took my written and road test in Roosevelt stadium.i saw this mall built,and now it will be gone ahahaaahaa im showing my age.
I don’t get why that property isn’t being demolished and replaced with highrise buildings like neighboring properties. It’s very strange to see it left as a dilapidated strip mall that’s in a flood zone, billion dollar highrise developments all around it.
@@RayOutThere I know.. I remember the Arcade back in the 80s Against All Odds clothing store the C.D music store which was right next to the Arcade.. I'm very surprised Hudson Mall didn't close down yet
I think I might have gone inside that place three times when I lived in Jersey City. The Taco Bell, an outparcel, was about the extent of my patronizing that property. It was SO ghetto and I didn't feel safe in there. Just not a good location for a mall anyway given several better malls not too far away, should have been a more mundane shopping center with more boring stores and no interior corridors. Figures it would have had a gnat infestation. Good riddance. Looks like even the most unsavory characters have abandoned that place.
the neon was a movie theaatre. in front of it was an arcade center, and good fortune has been in that mall since i as a child in like 1998 or something. I dont know how they are still open and making moey ';/ they are usually empty.

Back when I was kid in the 80's that mall was always packed from the arcade to the record store unto the movie theater
Worst thing they ever did was get rid of the arcade and movie theater
Good video! Thanks!
Was this mall located on Route 440. If so there was a Two Guys store located nearby. Further down was a Pathmark and still further going south was Roosevelt Stadium.
Omg where everyone learned how to drive after they knocked Roosevelt Stadium down.
Yup this is the mall. Consumers use to be there also I loved that store

The room with the neon was a Movie Theater, right across from there was the Arcade.
The GameStop is so bad you can tell they don't care and the only place with a consistent flow is the Bath and Body Works store and food places
These malls continue to fade it is sad
It really is
I used to go to the record store at this mall in the 90s to buy my metal shirts.
It would be nice to have an arcade again but I guess you will need extra security because teens may cause trouble. The Chuckee Cheeses there is very popular with younger kids and their parents.
Loved going to the record store there when I was young
Pretty awesome mall with the old school charm. It sucks that they are going to demall the corridor for yet another big box center.
Yeah it's a bummer
Hey. I've been there. ONCE! It was super dingy lol
There are still some stores there but not like the Hudson Valley Mall in Kingston NY which is totally empty
Great tour! I remember this mall from many many moons ago. It's too bad it's dying. Did you ever go to The Millcreek Mall in Secaucus? Haven't been there in years. I wonder if it's still alive.
They de-malled that one and now it's a big box strip mall. I never had the chance to visit that one
@@RayOutThere Aw that’s sad. I had a feeling.
That was completely demolished years ago. Now it's just a bunch of stores like Kohl's, Best Buy, TJ Max etc.

For some reason I thought this video was going to be about the Newport Centre
2:01 It used to be an old movie theater I think.
Sounds like Coventry Mall. Very sad 😔
I go there all the time. Love the hibachi.
The dude who played the black ranger in power ranger use to work at the arcade
WHERE ( What Streets is located on?) Is the Mall Located?
This is not the Route. 440 Mall is it?
Yes, it is 440 mall.
I remember before it was an enclosed mall, it was a strip mall.. I guess it was back in the early 70's, they decided to close it in.
Me too. 1970s and Pants Place was my store for my high school wardrobe.
I used to go there when I would visit my family in Jersey City
This mall may very well house the last vintage Bath & Body Works in New Jersey
You're probably right about that
Worked there many many years ago
i remember 2 guys, great eastern, drive in theater, in the early 70s.i took my written and road test in Roosevelt stadium.i saw this mall built,and now it will be gone ahahaaahaa im showing my age.
me too
Yes movie theater
My dad hangs at this mall everyday
I don’t get why that property isn’t being demolished and replaced with highrise buildings like neighboring properties. It’s very strange to see it left as a dilapidated strip mall that’s in a flood zone, billion dollar highrise developments all around it.
I bet condos are going to replace the mall
That Mall ain't go nothing but Shoe Stores now.. and a few places to eat.. I go there for the Buffet that's it
It's really not much of a mall anymore
@@RayOutThere I know.. I remember the Arcade back in the 80s Against All Odds clothing store the C.D music store which was right next to the Arcade.. I'm very surprised Hudson Mall didn't close down yet
Listen it went downhill once they took out the arcade
It's simple. You want stores to move in! Lower the rent. I remember TWO GUYS. Why did they close down? Maybe Malls are a thing of the past.
I think I might have gone inside that place three times when I lived in Jersey City. The Taco Bell, an outparcel, was about the extent of my patronizing that property. It was SO ghetto and I didn't feel safe in there. Just not a good location for a mall anyway given several better malls not too far away, should have been a more mundane shopping center with more boring stores and no interior corridors. Figures it would have had a gnat infestation. Good riddance. Looks like even the most unsavory characters have abandoned that place.
the neon was a movie theaatre. in front of it was an arcade center, and good fortune has been in that mall since i as a child in like 1998 or something. I dont know how they are still open and making moey ';/ they are usually empty.
