  • Today I am exploring the Pennrose Mall. This mall was opened back in the late 1960’s. How many stores are still open? What kind of condition is the mall in after all these years? We are going to find out NOW!

    I think growing up in the 70s 80s and 90s was the best time to grow up. I feel everything after 2000 just changed. People do shopping online. People have their groceries delivered to their homes. Its like people dont get together and hangout like they used to

      I agree with you. When the internet became embedded in most households after the 2000. It really changed the landscape of day to day life. Have a good day my friend.

      I feel like we skipped to an alternate timeline in or around Y2K. I actually feel like it was a bit later, maybe as late as 2006. People changed. Not everyone tho.

    The “kiosk” was The Peanut Shack. Snacks, drinks, candies, cookies, and the best item… ICEE’s! Past that was JC Penny. Across from the Peanut Shack was CATO and CATO PLUS, women’s clothing. Hibbet Sports came later. Before that it was an Eckerd Pharmacy that had a small food counter. I remember eating grilled cheese sandwiches there.

    So sad seeing malls like this now. You know back in the day it was probably the place to be. I miss the excitement that malls use to have. I love seeing the old pictures when malls would be full of shoppers. Usually people were dressed nice. It was an event to go shopping at a mall. I've been to quite a few malls that have so many empty stores. Thanks for sharing.

    I was truly impressed by how long Signal Hill stayed on life support. We all knew it was coming, but it was still really sad when I stopped by to see it was finally closed.
    The fact that the JR building now has the red x of death on it surprised me too. Hard to believe it's in that bad of shape now.
    I'm going to check out this mall soon. I was also lucky enough to get to go in the eden mall right before they closed it for good. It was the same as far as temperature. It was so hot inside because the I'm sure the AC was off.

    I like Reidsville, but yes....a lot of the businesses closed after the tabacco industry left. It is getting better and there is a lot of new development, but there are still a lot of shuttered businesses in town. NC is currently turing route 29 into Interstate 785 and its expected to bring a lot more industry and jobs to Reidsville. Myself and a lot of other people living near Reidsville wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

    You should see the remenants of the "mall" up the way in Eden!! They've sold the ends of the building but the middle used to be just terrible, they may have it blocked off by now.
