    Im betting the mall is letting them use this for free in hopes it attracts tourists, Im also betting All the burger king and everything in there will remain after filming and may even become operational as I imagine it would attract lots of business.

    It was really awesome to see a Jazzercise studio in the show. My mom used to be a Jazzercise instructor back in the 80's. When I saw this in the show, I was cracking up and I had to show my mom, she was laughing too. She told me that she would do the same warmups that guy did in the episode. And wore the same outfits the girls were wearing. 😅

    I was in that mall 2 weeks ago. They have like 10 or 11 stores open there. Changing demographics in Duluth area have played a big role. Mall of Ga and sugarloaf mills killed that mall. This mall was very popular in 80’s, 90’s and early 00’s. This was the place to hang out back in the day

    Not sure why I haven't seen this before!
    Yes, they are real arcade machines in the Time Out, A friend of mine owns them and the production company rented them from him for the show. I am also a collector in the Atlanta area. If you have come to Southern Fried Gaming Expo or Dragon Con (and visited the arcade there), you have played some of my games.

    Thanks to the local news, everyone knows about it and now there's too many people watching to get in, including security. Oh well, great video! I may go find some other locations. Did you also find the prop bus stop outside? Upper level entrance near the old Ruby Tuesday, just outside. It features a "Hawkins public transit" sign.

    Time Out oddly was still around in the late 00s, but when I was 3 in 99 I loved that place. Jeppers Creepers however scared me badly, I still don’t know why. Time Out however was very cool but around 2005 Chuck E. Cheese and Dave And Busters took over completely which I think ran out Time Out for good...especially D&B (Honestly D&B is like TimeOut).

      It's entirely possible they moved it and that's my memory of it. I remember it last when it was in the larger space with the Walden Kids section of the store that had the blue slide entrance. I seem to recall it was close to Parisian and a big shoe store, upstairs in the newer wing that's now closed. I was just happy there were two bookstores where I could sit and read Calvin and Hobbes and Garfield while my mom shopped!

      @hadihatab3126 Před 4 lety +2

      Heru- deshet not really, malls used to be more like theme parks back then with many stores designed to fit the aesthetic of their brand and it was a hub of teen culture and excitement. Nowadays many stores are closing and lower performance malls are shutting down or being recycled for other purposes besides retail.

  • @gra-emed3617
    @gra-emed3617 Před 4 lety +1

    When you see malls in their former glory you realise why a lot of malls declined. They ripped out every piece of aesthetic awesomeness and stripped them to bare white operating theatres in the 90s/early 00s and they lost their appeal. Of course other factors were involved but who wouldn’t want to shop in malls with plants, colours, fountains, cool lighting

    • @hadihatab3126
      @hadihatab3126 Před 4 lety

      GRA-EME D blame the minimalism trend after the 80s and the rise of the internet. They wanted people to have an experience back then so they would design stores to fit their brand. Memphis design was also big back then so hence geometric shapes and neon.
