    So cool to be able to show this to my grandma, who went here a lot. Thank you

    My Mom worked at Buster Browns in the 80s then at JC Penny. We also use to eat at The Patio Restaurant in the Hess's department store. They had gigantic food protons there.

    Nice video man! I’m really upset I never got to see this place in person but this video at least provides a look at this beautiful gem. Thank you for documenting.

    Great job on the video. Interesting mall-looked to be in good shape at the time it was closing. Similar layout of the local mall in my hometown.

    It's always the crimes that kill malls then people stay away.I have this in my city at one mall and it was built 25 years ago and still is nice.A third of the stores are empty inside and almost all of the shops outside are,that's about 20 businesses.

    Balls were such a big thing and fun thing while growing up! Another social event, stripped from generations to come…

    Reminds me of Metrocenter mall in Phoenix AZ, that opened in 1973 and closed in 2022

    The research you did for this was amazing! How'd you find all this information? Google doesn't turn up a lot of the things you cited in the video. Curious to learn so I can do more research on the topic.

    What a shame I was just there last year and now it just closed down and it's going to be demolished. It's a good thing I did cause now I have something to remember it by since I took a lot of pictures when I was there. Very nice mall so sad to see it go.

    Bummer. Blame online shopping. Weird to think how computers have impacted our lives. Oh, well, that's life.
