- A final tour and full history of the Eastern Hills Mall the day before it closed forever. The mall has quite the history of ups and downs, a wedding in the food court, and a brutal murder in its parking lot.

This video is absolutely perfectly put together. Eastern Hills was beautiful.
I’m in Canada and we used to take trips down to Eastern Hills mall…lotta good memories there.
Excellent video! I really wanted to see this place one more time before it closed, but the weather screwed me out of it. Glad I was able to visit when I could, as this was an amazing mall, with well preserved DeBartolo architecture.
As always, excellent presentation. I've always appreciated the research you put into these videos; history and
the stories it holds are fascinating, regardless of the backdrop.
Thanks, folks.

Here in Florida some malls that have still survived are the outside type malls which is popular
Good video. Time marching on. There was a feeling that, when malls were in their heyday, that they would go on forever. Seems not so. You have to be unique, like century city shopping center in west Los Angeles, to draw a see and be seen crowd. Otherwise it’s just stay home and online orders. Well, malls had a, what, fifty plus year run.? That’s pretty good, considering.
Nice video man!
Wonderful Video!!!! Love the Christmas Decor and the Fountains!!!! F+L, Corey
I imagine all the shoppers over the years. These old malls make me sad.
Miss this mall, spent every decade of my life in here until it closed.
I honestly hate the future plans for it. They're trying to turn it into a more outdoor shopping center...we're in Buffalo. Do they realize it's cold, wet, and possibly snowing for half the year? A roof over that would be nice. So then it would be, you know, a mall.
Too sad to see unfortunately the way of the malls are becoming something of the past. I used to live in WNY and went to that mall a bunch of times...sad to see it go..
Is the voice from the Mall Perks commerical the same voice actor that voiced Garfield during the 90's cartoon?
So why the sudden downfall if this mall was doing good in 2022 where it was close to full did it go from 90% occupied to like 30% occupied in less than a year or no?
It wasn’t doing good in 22
Because 85% of those stores were secondhand/antique shops selling overpriced junk. There was no real draw for people to go there anymore. I understand why other stores and companies left to begin with (not enough money coming in), but without those kind of stores it killed the mall. I feel like people are starting to get over internet shopping and would want to go to a mall more these days, if it had those draw stores again.
