THE RAW SERIES: #44 Witch City Mall - Raw & Real Retail
This is the 44th installment of our RAW SERIES, where we pull back the musical soundtrack and let the mall sounds free, warts and all!
This is the Witch City Mall in Salem, MA. This is a very small, very local mall located in the heart of Salem. It is VERY quiet here. Many of the businesses here, as throughout town, completely run with the whole "witch" motif made famous from the Salem Witch Trials from the late 17th century. Lots of references to witches, ghosts, psychics, and other such paranormal tropes abound. The center was formerly called Museum Place and just recently was changed to Witch City Mall, but none of the old signage was removed, making it hard to see the name of the property unless you are already walking in the door.
This tour was filmed on March 6, 2019 at around 3pm.

    You have a really good memory. I used to hang around this mall in the early eighties. Sometimes we would sneak up on top of the roof and look down through the skylights at the people in the mall. I do remember Papa Gino's jukeboxes. Spencer gifts in KB Toys. I used to work at York steakhouse in friendly's at one time. When the minimum wage was $3.25 cents per hour. Do you remember the plastic furniture that had in the middle of the mall for people to sit down on. I do remember they had a music store that sold albums. And radio shack. I'm sure you remember strawberries records and tapes across the street, Add service merchandise. Thanks for the memories.😢😂

    5 years later (June 2024) and there are no major (regional/national/international brand) stores left. The 99 Restaurant is the only big-branded anything left. There is still the movie theater, but that's been independent for several years now. There's also a bingo hall that seemingly has decent traffic in the evenings. Otherwise it's random alibaba clothing stores and amazon pallet stores (there's just boxes scattered around for you to sift through. There are two remaining small eateries in the food court, which I imagine can be sustained with the NYS tax center and the remaining traffic they have left for the theater, few stores, and whatever events they hold at the mall (carnivals during the summer, themed holiday events throughout the year). Comparing it to other dead/dying malls at the time this video was taken it still had a little life left but was definitely trending down, and the pandemic was the absolute devastating blow. It's on life-support now, I imagine it has a few more years left, but I don't think it can sustain itself without some sort of miracle tenant coming through, which I don't think I or anyone else really sees happening.

    This was the mall I grew up visiting as a kid. We live like an hour and 15 minutes from McKinley so it was an all day adventure when we went. We did all of our Christmas shopping there. I can remember those snowy nights enjoying the arcade before we left the mall to go to dinner. I remember thinking in the arcade that I never wanted to grow up. I really loved this mall and the memories it represents for me. I’m 34 now and I can’t believe where time has gone. Seems like yesterday I was with my family laughing on the car ride to the mall, excited to get there and spend the day with the people I loved. It’s crazy though. My dad passed 2 years ago and these videos always make me remember those amazing memories. Back when everyone was healthy, happy, and I didn’t know so much about the world. Sorry for rambling on haha.

    Sadly, this mall is being demolished as of March, 2024. The wrecking crew has started on the side facing Forest Drive where the former Parisian Store was located. As of April 12th, a good portion of that side of the building has been completely torn down, including the elevator and the skylight. Part of the parking garage will remain for condo/apartments being built around it. There will be green space allocated for the public. There will be a smaller mall with stores.

    The original mall had a personality. This is just a big bland white box. Stark and boring. The original mix of stores was so much better too. Growing up went here at least monthly. Now I've only gone there once in the past two years. New isn't always better.
