The convivence store was called Dodies, and I lived in that 3 story right next to it.

It’s slowly starting to get better again but will never be the same and most the stores are never open due to staff reasons but there at least getting some more restaurants the arcade is opening one and there is ruby Tuesday that is opening there will probably a lot more for traffic with ruby Tuesday being there

Bostion?

That section of the mall was the center, there main corridor extended through the tech school and the bowling alley. The anchors were at the ends of the layout where the supermarket and the odd ball shops on the opposite side.

I live on Elm Street right next to it, I never played there but I remember all the kids parking in my neighborhood and walking up to the field for ball games. One of my fondest memories is getting to sit in the big booth above home plate and watching my friend play.

some people debate it's not really the original that would be nice if completely the same somewhere else

🏴❤️🇺🇸💥🎉

Im gonna sleep now but im gonna think of something stupid to say tomorrow maybe.. 🤙

I lived nearby Harvard Business School, rather close to the Arsenal Mall. It was a great place, in good taste, drawing from a pool of middle class and upper middle class. Lots of Harvard and Boston University Grad. Students regularly patronized the Mall. In 2002, revisiting Boston , I went to the Arsenal Mall. Don't recall if it was still a thriving, successful comercial center. However, in 2018 I spent a couple of weeks in Boston. The Arsenal Mall was in the process of being transformed into a Residential area and Office Center. Thank you for this video, a trip through Memory Lane.

Went to Suffolk just about every day when it was open in the 80s, Great track to make money if you knew how to handicap

I always preferred that mall over Manchester, far less crowded. I wouldn't put much faith in Penny's with as many of them that are closed.

Wanted to let you know that the developer is going to keep the JC Penny and some of the other shops that have outside entrances. The rest is going to be torn down to make way for the developer plans of a COSTCO and other shops. There is a whole article on this on CZcams.

The food court is almost empty

Having the same issue with my 2019 rubicon. Dealer says it's the power steering module $2300 fix hopefully that's the problem

It's completely demolished now

I love this Ames, I pass by it everyday

Hope it don't I going to 🙏🙏🙏🙏 big time it doesn't close

We worked on the Silver City mall not that many years ago.Now its gone.What a waste

Thats nothing 😂😂😂

What was the reason for your death wobble? We took ours in & they had to change the steering damper & then all these lights including service shifter have been going off

The poor kid missed decades of dominance. But he has his youth so I think most of us would trade places with him anyways!

Wut 😮

Santa Elevator Express to the North Pole

The anchor store on the left side was Porteous, a dept store.

Respectfully, I think you mistakenly said Newington is *10 miles* west of Portsmouth. Portsmouth is the next town over.

Im 39 years old and spent alot of time here. When you first walked into pirates fun park to the left was the oddesey big yellow dome. The himalaya was i believe to the right, right before the bumper cars. Then all the way back dead center was the fireball. Behind the haunted ride were the bumper boats. I loved it when they had ferris Wheel facing the ocean. Sad, it will never be the same. Also blue ocean music hall used to be an arcade and bumper cars inside, parking across from blue ocean had a haunted house and i think mini golf course. I remember they had the wwf wrestling shows next to the discount store on christys side. 😢

MISTAKE IN VIDEO: Union Sq. (D) branch uses Fitchburg line right of way, and the Medford (E) branch runs along Lowell Line right of way.

It used to be a really great mall back in the early 80’s. I think the Papa Gino’s is the only remaining original store. They had a great arcade back then called The Dream Machine, pure 80’s which was right across from the movie theater at the time. Rumford Pet Center was there, Hickory Farms, The Roast House, Chess King. I may be mixing it up with RI Mall (originally Midland Mall) but there was a piano store where there was always a guy playing the piano which you would hear when you walked in.

What’s the 3-way…cheese mayo bbq-sauce Or is it beef mayo & bbq-sauce?

Great work tracking it down 👍👍 i remember seeing it as a kid. If I remember correctly it had Day Industries Toronto on the bottom of it too.

Good beer, I just left there.

I worked at the original Filene's Basement (1992-1993), which was near the shopping center before they moved it to the temporary location. I would get my lunch from the Stop and Shop, in the shopping center, when there was one in that area. I took the 400-something bus (behind Sears), to Malden station. I believe there was a Pet Centre there in the shopping center, but maybe in the 1980's? I remember the old cinema that closed in 1985. I don't know the details. Although there are no photos available, Cinema Treasure web page (I can't post the link, here) has an interesting discussion about it. I don't know about the shooting you talked about - wasn't that at the nightclub, in 1989? How is the Square One, now. I haven't been there, since 2006. I never liked the mall.

Ik❤😂🎉🎉😊❤iuilike

The amount of people with their wheels not turned properly scares me

this mall is now demolished

I saw you down 495 ❤👍🏽 maybe add a QR code it would be easier to find your channel.

I was born in 1960 and my Mother and Grandmother took me to Salisbury and Hampton Beach at least twice a week. I was so Happy going to these beaches. I pratically grew up here. It was sad to see it go down hill but since this video was posted it seems like they have added a lot of new stuff. The Salisbury Discount store was one of my favorite places besides the beach itself where we ate sandy bologna sandwiches and koolaid.😊Some of the best times of my life were on this Beach and Hampton Beach. Love Tripoli's pizza too! So much fun! Thanks for the Great memories🥰🥰❤❤

Been in this area 25 years… seen allot of changes at Edison.. no more Sears, Macys closing… I never go there any more… too dangerous

Same issue! I’m 6k into “fixing it” I’m so sick of this! Why hasn’t Jeep figured this out?

good vid. 2:19, that's my fav seat at my fav bubble craps in Vegas. People watch along the strip as I'm chilling with my glasses of Bud Light. Sure gonna miss Casino Royale.. I never stayed there but would walk the strip to that lil place. Footlong hotdogs too..

The Auburn Mall is not dead, you know. I've drove by that mall millions of times and I saw the JCPenney store and rest of the mall still open.

Hi we had one in Victoria B.C. Canada where I live it was only here a few years it closed in the early 1990`s.

Thanks for the walk back in time..

there were some closures around 2014-2016, but 2017 was really when the bangor mall’s rapid downward spiral happened

I live and always from Seabrook same as my parents my grandfather said that was built around when he was a little boy early mid 60s

Looks like you went here during December. This mall is apart of my childhood n will always have a place in my heart with memories.

True, be we... can go swimming during winter. 😅 ~ I would love an ice rink to be honest.

Id rather not get dizzy and be cold

I would rather have Florida’s 75 degree temperature in January than have an ice rink.
