Everything Left - Abandoned Shopping Mall in Arlington Heights, IL
Shopping centers and malls are usually full of people, but in a small town in Illinois this shopping center is the exact opposite of that. Only a few years ago this complex had over 20 stores, restaurants, a gym, and so much more. The slow decline began due to online shopping and the rise of amazon. One by one businesses started to struggle and slowly moved out or shut down completely until only 5 remained. With the lack of businesses renting out spaces the owner began to struggle and decided it would be better to sell to a developer and demolish the building and make way for a new apartment complex. Today we are exploring everything that was left behind before the building was demolished.

    Imagine turning this into a combination apartment complex and mall. It could be like that building in Whittier, Alaska.

    There’s an abandon steel mill here in Denver about 3.5 miles from my house I’ve been wanting to check out. I found out about it several years ago, I used to do ride share and took a guy that worked for the company that owns the building now verified it’s still empty.

    Went to the Hollywood Casino in Aurora back when the boats had to pull away from the dock and get into the river before gambling could start. Never ate there until many years later when the casino was on land and i was doing a consulting job at a nearby bank.

    It's a prime example why everything costs so much. Wasteful corporations that pass the buck onto the consumer and never taking responsibility.
