Dan! Please go back to Signal Hill. The dead mall community would love to see your revisit to this place. Village Inn Pizza is gone, the mall is moldy and truly unsafe for anyone to be inside. I have visited several times over the last few years and just posted an update video. Please, Signal Hill needs you back. 😂🎉🎉🎉
Update: as of Sept 2023 the belk wing of the mall is now roped off. The belk entrance was walled off a while ago, now you can’t go down that wing. The rest of the mall now has kiddie pools collecting water. It seriously has to be close to the end… sad
Can't be a dead mall without the obligatory GNC and Bath & Body Works.
and radio shack.
+VOREVOX radio shack used to sell more than cell phones? lol.
At least you still have radio shack there, they died out here in Canada and were replaced with The Source witch is not doing too well anymore.
***** sheesh. Radio Shack was worth something at some point in time. I tried to find a power switch for my bass amplifier and they looked at me like I had a second head.
Victorias secret, Foot locker and Burlingtons also
A tiny child walks up to a fountain in a dead mall, that's like a metaphor or symbolism or something
Like his daddy might have before him, but will there be a fountain around for his kid to enjoy?
So existential, LOL
Next.
Better to have a few vague memories of a dying American pastime rather than just having none at all.
His parents could have been mallrats here when they were kids.
"i see a britney spears ad on the ceiling so that's probably been closed for a while"
*ad for 2013 justin timberlake album on other side*
Something... still 4 years ago
well come on, when was the last time Britney was relevant?
8 years. Holy shit
omg the flashbacks to that BLOCKBUSTER TRAINING VIDEO I WATCHED IN 1998 WHEN I STARTED WORK THERE. AHHH THE FEELS....
Next.
elchubbo Haven't seen it. Sorry.
elchubbo old person
My son works at.... BLOOOOCKBUSTER.
I regret donating my ugly Blockbuster uniforms to the thrift shop. That yellow collar, eeek. But now it's pure nostalgia. That was my first job.
The Blockbuster segment in this is perfect.
Bright Sun Films Funny thing is, this video was uploaded on the very same day.
Ironically there is a dead Blockbuster across the street from this mall. I used to work in the Sears in this mall
What is it from?
got blockbuster back in the uk
I love the single-frame flicker epithet at 1:38
Get drunk, watch dead malls, bask in exquisite melancholy.
I miss Blockbuster... it was such a fun experience to just walk around trying to decide what movie or game to rent, and then buying some pop corn or ice cream to eat along. Good times.
Lau me and my ex best friend went to block buster to get snacks then sneak them into the cinema or eat them while we wait
Omg I remember Blockbuster, I was maybe six or... seven. It was around the final days of Blockbuster. My family used to rent movies and games all the time. There were always big bins filled with candy, I used to beg for Mike and Ike's each time we went. Good times :)
He we still have family video here in Statesville
blockbusters - i did have some good experiences at them. But they were overpriced and pushed out the cheaper and friendlier mom and pop video rental stores. I'd rather go to the mom and pop ones. Blockbusters were a bunch of bastards no different than jeff bezos and amazon. I'm actually glad they're gone, but yes I agree video rentals were the shiznit back in the day. I just preferred the local joints instead.
It's a shame. I liked the experience of going to a video store.
The "Laughing Blockbuster Woman" will become a meme.
That's her in 7:15. Old & withered before her years... waiting... waiting for the Blockbuster to reopen.
Carla Vidal What a prediction. A year later, all I see is the “Laughing Blockbuster Woman” meme everywhere I look...
I love that laughing girl. Not only was she a joy. But she was beautiful & somwhat cute.
7:08 Legend has it she's been sitting there since 1982 waiting for her husband to come pick her up.
lmaoooo
Bwaahahaha!!! Legend also has it that I peed a little from ur comment!! OMG! TOO FUNNY!!! 😂😂😂😂
I need oxygen XD lmaoooooo
Legend says the man obsessed with cleaning his nose been walking without destination in search of his woman since 1982. 😂
I laugh so hard men. DAMM!!!
Background music is so perfect, it sounds like it is echoing through the mall.
The baclkground music was aewsome
Cinematic 😍
Mallsoft
I was the store Manager at Claire's, across from GNC. I brought it out of the hole and trained a manager how to keep profits up, and I moved to do the same to another store, and we transfered once again. The 3rd Claire's manager tanked it, and it was closed. RIP Signal Hill Mall. You were a great place to work.
Edit: the hall down JCPenney is haunted by a woman wearing a red sweater. She was angry her fine jewelry store was turned into a kid's store. She would knock things off shelves, without a single customer inside.
"Once upon a time at Signal Hill Mall... There were people." lol
Next time : Silent Hill Mall.
If that mall is open in a few more years I'll make sure to roam it myself!
Lol 😂 XD
Yep
That sounds like a song lyric
this gives me the weirdest feeling watching this it's like nostalgia??? but not really cause I haven't been to these places. it's just weird.
It's probably nostalgia of the time period the mall represents, but not nostalgia of the physical mall itself
Same.
Every North American city has a place like this. If not more than one.
Fauntleroy Eh, debatable. I live in OKC and the malls here are fine.
I'm 16 I can't be nostalgic of that lol.
that opening was 10/10, Dan. the subliminal messages and IM'S had lolling
I love the dead mall series, but it seriously makes me nostalgic and very sad :-(
That poor old lady. Has been sitting there waiting for a ride from her husband since 2004 when he passed away in the parking lot.
She might be security.
I think she was scouting families out to rob
Yes the older lady made feel sad for some reason. I felt for her.
😜🤣 That was funny! 👍
She’s a stunt granny.
love your music choice, dan.
Thanks!
I was gonna say
the music goes well with these mall vids.
really gives it that retro feel from back in the days.
i actuly miss music like this, when i was a kid in the 90s i enjoyed this kinda music.
you dont get it anymore sadly.
+This is Dan Bell. There is a dead mall in my hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin called The Shops of Grand Ave. It's an urban mall with about 45% occupancy rate. It's good court is full but there are barely any shops at all. I would really appreciate if you would visit. Thanks.
whoa you like dan bell too! far out, it's a small world I guess, I dig both of your channels.
Artzie! :) I didn't know you liked dead malls too 💕
ah. Friday night relaxing with Dan Bell. life is good.
Yes!!!
Thanks!
This is Dan Bell. Love your work Dan. Did you see ace's adventures. He has a video behind the wall at century 3. And a good rolling acres video. He got inside the movie theater. For some reason as a Clevelander that place fascinates me. if you make it back here I owe you a beer. I don't have cable in my house so your channel gives me hours of entertainment.
Exactly how I feel every time I see a new video from him.
+b juardo That mall is still alive
Hello from Tokyo.This is happening only in US?
No,No,NO,same things are happening in tokyo as well.
We don't have any big mall in Tokyo.But small retailers are shutting day by day.
Preparing for 2020 olympic here in Tokyo,but who will feel happy for seeing this situation?
Ko Hoshino 😎 a
Ko Hoshino I agree.It won't be attractive to people visiting but I hope they do something about it
Ko Hoshino everyone is switching to online shopping
Hello from America. Some cities in America don't do so well, and businesses go under. People shop online a lot today, and stores find it hard to compete.
That’s understandable, small businesses around the world close all the time. Just normal economics, I guess. I remember, from the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, businesses would make big investments, and some would go out of business afterwards due to a lack of funds. Also, your English is not bad, Ko.
1-that fountain...you can see the erosion of the outside edges 40+ years of water. Kinda neat.
2-It really upsets me to see the malls that have all these plants, because when they close, they just leave the plants to die. They could have a "come grab a plant" thing, but instead they just stop watering them. Then when you go back as the closed mall is rotting, you see all the dead plants. Such a waste.
Koioseter I thought the same thing.
Actually in some of these dead mall videos, the water seeping in and the broken skylights have caused the plants to grow really huge. Jake Williams has some videos of malls like that; he tends to do malls that are in a later stage of abandonment (i.e. moss growing on the floor).
Ex blockbuster employees: tell us your best war stories. Were dying to hear them.
[ignore this comment]
There was this one time that this customer came in asking if we had any pornos. That's... that's it. I actually never worked there, nobody answered so I thought at least someone could get something. :) lol
People used to defecate in the VHS boxes and put them through the drop box after closing - that was fun...
I was hired in high school and the college kid assistant manager tried to get me to sleep with him day one. I quit. Obviously lacking a sexual harassment training video
Nina H Wow!
I'm really enjoying the Vaporwave and the 80's/90's video footage edited in to the vids. Good stuff.
v a p o r w a v e
Meghan murphy gotta love it
Dustyn Lyon it is awesome
A e s t h e t i c
The besst
The best way to tell if a mall is on its death bed:
Count the number of older Buicks and PT Cruisers are in the parking lot.
>10 total = That mall is dead.
Also, if you see a guy walking about with a videocamera & listening to vaporwave, it's an omen of impending mall-death.
Kinda like the banshee in folklore as a sign of imminent death...
PT cruiser belongs to the Bed & Bath store manager. The buick is the mall walker with the clean noise and bright future...😜
Old Dodge pickups from before 2005.
😂
I've spent the whole weekend watching all Dan Bell videos! I have no life!
Correction: Dead Mall Series IS life! We are all consuming this series very quickly. Lol You are not alone, my friend.
Ya, well I'm not far behind. I'm watching this vid on a Friday night. Me and the dog... Want a join me for a mall walk?😜
maybe no life but great taste for sure.
Its given life new meaning
You should’ve patronized your local mall instead.
The fountains are always my favorite!
Mine too
I'm also a fountain fan ;)
i miss those kind of malls cos today malls are to weird for me is not the same plus ppl dont go to the malls where im at like b4 now is quiet places in the malls and i was born 1984
+Buggy fan Same here. They don't even build malls here anymore. They are all strip malls now. I miss the old ones too.
IKR THAT CRAZY WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGE ALOT PPL PLACES FOODS ECT
when the jc penney is closed you know it's dead
That's what its like at my local dead mall, Tanglewood Mall, Roanoke VA
The Sephora is keeping some foot traffic at my local dying JCPenney. 😐
jcpenny closed at eastridge in 2017.
Oh fuck, I JUST started working at a JCPenney’s and was told it’s shutting down in 3 months
@@ArtistTheArtist05 Well, it's a Chapter 11 company, that was kind of to be expected.
that thing you referred to as a “stage” was sitting for chick fil a. I live in Statesville. I used to go to Signal when everything was open. The barn looking thing was a child playground thing. And across from bath and body works was a book store.
And before that, the barn-looking store was a Hickory Farms. My Mom and I used to shop there in the late 80's. Loved that Chick-fil-A!
@@packaok Before it was Hickory Farms it was a locally owned clothing store where the more fashion forward folks shopped.
11:16 I love how you captured that mall walker on camera as if he's an animal in a wildlife safari lol.
They should turn them into Amazon distribution centers.
Or not
+Sky Yukna correction: an Amazon showroom! Since that's exactly what a sizable amount of "shoppers" do in this day & age... showrooming!!!
I actually live near here, and let me say, this mall used to be booming. I remember going shopping in Sears and JCP and Belk during the holidays! FYI, Santa was always done next to JCP on that stage with the US Flag. So many memories. Couple of my pennies are still in that fountain
You must be young. I am almost 50 and was born three months after the mall opened to the day. Santa was at center court where the fountain was. Then he was by Woolworth's where Sears was. Only in the later years was Santa on a stage by JCPenny's.
a clean nose and a bright future, just what everyone aspires for :)
Roy Mustang - hahaha- couldn't stop laughing at that one!
mallwalker confirmed 😀
my nose is so not clean right now. at least its not crack. allergies
To keep my happy side of life. I'd avoid that mall at all cost...
That old 'Doris' has been there since 1984, waiting for 'Bill' to come out of Sears :P
That old lady is tripping me out !
I felt sorry for her.
Kinda made me think of the time my grandmother took me to a Dead Mall in Brantford, Ontario, it was called the Eaton Centre (there were many called that not to be confused with the big one in Toronto).
It was like 10+ years ago, i think now it is just business and medical offices.
She is a mall sitter. LOL
+Chris AA me too
Is she alive or memorex?
The retro stuff with the blockbuster stuff is so cringey but I love it lol
That was an employee training video, I'm pretty sure every employee training video in existence is cringey.
If you saw some of the training videos for RadioShack from the early 90s ... a lot of the same. And just laughably bad.
I worked a few summers at McDonalds in the early 1990s. Their crew training videos were just as cringeworthy and hilarious as Blockbuster's! I clearly remember the saccharine-addicted blonde in a McDonald's visor asking the customer "How are your fries and Big Mac? Would you like a free refill of Coke?" LOL. My first thoughts were "What have I gotten myself into?!"
I had to sit through a couple for some grocery store jobs, and they weren't so much cringey as boring (although they were cringey as well). Nothing will top the rapping Ames lady though.
He's a cutie
Wow, America really do have a lot of dead malls. In Europe malls are quite popular, always crowded. Especially in Denmark, I think our oldest mall is from 1966 and it's still going on, good business, crowded everyday and still looks super nice with a bunch of awesome stores.
really sad to see a mall die down.
Faye you know how they say, we Americans are fat and lazy, so we shop online instead of walking to the stores lol
Online shopping is also not as easy in Europe, I think. In America is all just one click away and everything is there the next day. We still don't have that mentality in Europe.
The main problem with American malls is the concentration of malls in certain areas and many of them offer the same stores. Paramus, NJ has 3 large malls and a number of smaller plazas that house larger stores. The malls are no more than 2 or 3 miles away from each other. One of the malls was dying until 2011 when it was bought out and extensively renovated, expanded, and rebranded as an outlet mall.
u.s. wages haven't gone up since the 80s, so the bulk of the u.s. population has barely enough money to survive on, let alone spend on random crap without at least researching the shit out of it first - hence, online shopping
I think online shopping is made primarily for the US and the rest of the world just tries to keep up.
came here for the dead mall.......stayed for the music
When your most popular store sounds like "belch" you might have a dead mall.
Belk is actually a quite successful department store chain with locations at most malls in the southeast.
They need to travel up to MD, Marley Station could use a little belch.
+Jacqui Mayton there is a Belk in Westminster, MD
Belk is a pretty okay store, they are trying really hard to please and keep customers with exceptional customer service.
Delma Church hail corporate
Some say that old lady still sits there to this day.
xYALE70x Tbh, she's probably remembering the good times. You know, like when you go to a rememberable place that you went to when you were younger? And you get that warm nostalgia feeling.
i wish they had kept the 1980s jcpenney entrance sign aesthetic. it's so damn pretty!!
At least that training video accurately portrayed the typical blockbuster experience. :P
Love the soundtrack to this episode. Brings back so many memories of mall shopping as a kid of the 80's and 90's
The lonely granny shot is perfect for this series.
That lady from the Blockbuster video is something else!
I’m obsessed with the beginning aesthetic.
Great video! How funny is that - two working fountains in front of two closed anchor stores, but the one that's open has a non-working fountain. haha
Can someone please explain why I love these videos
We are all standing in the same line. We have NO life!!!🤣
dead malls are my A E S T H E T I C
I swear to the Almighty Cosmic Creator that everytime I watch your D E A D M A L L S E R I E S on this channel, I get a relaxing and spooked sensation as well as sadness when I see a HUGE building with so little businesses. Plus, the music choices is just top notch (especially the sound quality, I honestly thought at first the mall was playing the music.)! I'm really blown away by how wonderfully crafted your videos are! Congrats! You've just earned a new subscriber!
I know..
whenever i watch you or the proper people im just reminded on how exploring with josh doesn't deserve the amount of subs he has. you both are so amazing compared to him!
dont even get me started on that idiot and his weird friends !! They tell alot of b.s. info.
he just gets views from his clickbait titles its so annoying
+Claudia Powell well what really irritated me was a few months back he posted a vid in Tx about a abandoned ghost town. That town is is Bartlett,Tx its in the County i live in. its not a ghost town just a small town. he was completely wrong about the Tx. chainsaw massacre house in Granger,Tx. He needs to get real facts and not just google shit.
agreed
I agree!
It brings a tears to my eyes to see malls like this fade away in modern times
Not all of them will disappear. Malls of which are convenient to city residential areas, and busy highways will remain popular. What we are seeing is the death of portions of the overbuilt malls dedicated to Suburbs, and remote areas.
It's like walking inside a 1980's fallout shelter. It's so strange to walk into old but preserved buildings who kept their aesthetics. What a Time Capsule trip, Dan. I'm hooked now. *THANKS!* XD
"Once upon a time at Signal Hill Mall............There were people" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
the Titanic at the end was the f'in best, love your sense of humor Dan Bell
Absolutely love the old, heavy looking stone used in those benches, planters and fountains. Lots of twists and turns; really quite a unique design. Definitely an architectural feat during the 80s! Love the music as well. Nice as always Dan!
Blockbuster: A great microcosm of shopping's demise. I used to go there like everyday to browse the aisles. Just like shopping at the mall, I sort of miss that relaxed experience. There was something about the trip and anticipation of watching the movie on the way home-even looking at the video box when pondering whether to select the particular movie in question.
For you kids, if you want to see what malls used to be like watch Fast Times At Ridgemont High.
I miss those days to.
the main reason this mall declined was valley hills mall's success and the growth of Mooresville.
This mall actually had 4 anchors at one time with peelbles next to the jc penny. There was a chick fila and a music store next to it. What keeps this mall operating at the moment is ihop
Oh, bad food at the the dead mall.
Great job Dan! Love the Dead Mall series. And I caught the subliminal message you put in there. ;)
Hi, fan from the UK here. Love the Dead Mall series of vids. It's so fascinating as it's not so common here. Feels a lot of the time that consumerism kind of cannibalised itself by having way too many of these places with only so much disposable money floating around.
Anyways, keep up the awesome work!
Cheers, Craig!
Craig, part of the problem with malls is that they have a lot of competition from department stores that are stand-alone locations and not near the mall. Places like Kohl's will provide you with a similar experience to a Macy's department store in the mall, and it's much more convenient. Stores like Target and Wal-Mart are go-to places for typical stuff. They sell almost anything, and the clothing is decent these days compared to the 1980s when the clothing was subpar.
I also get the feeling that Americans are not as materialistic as they used to be. People don't seem to feel the need to go shopping as much as they once did.
There are thriving malls in the U.S., but these are typically the ones that led to the demise of the "dead malls".
It doesn't help when millions and millions of people have lost their jobs over the past 25-30 years, either. People who are still lucky enough to have jobs have snapped their wallets and pocketbooks tight.
Plenty of dead malls in the UK, although they're more like undead malls. Shops are occupied but with gold-buying scams, ultra discount plasticy clothing, musclebuilding supplements etc. There just wasn't the number of malls that you got in the states. In the UK the more blatant example of the death of retail is the high streets. Charity shops everywhere -they get a discount from the council, selling the dusty old tatty belongings of dead people. Course if you live in London or one of the big cities, everything might seem great, but It's Grim up North. ;) (And west. And east.)
Also, parking can be really bad in the UK, so even when a mall is undead, people will still use the multistory carpark. Reminds me of Dan's video on Gallery 1 connected to a train station. Lots of thru-traffic, nobody actually buying anything.
"Once apon a time, at Signal Hill Mall... there were people". This has been my favorite Dead Mall episode. Excellent narration and well filmed as usual. The giant book with the 1 senior seated in the background: pure gold. Should have made it the thumbnail.
The clean nose and bright future comment is legendary.
"And there he goes..... With a clean nose, and a bright future" XD Dan you never fail lol
Why am I addicted to this Dead Mall Series? I don't know but these are fascinating …. I lived in Statesville for a while as a teenager and spent many weekends at this mall... I remember buying Communion at the WaldenBooks, alien posters everywhere... so weird that all these malls are now dead....
The "waiting grandma" sculpture was a nice bit of artwork.
I absolutely love the Blockbuster thing, good work!
This guy deserves more subscribers
Actually I live in that area. I remember when it was huge but now it's gone down hill. Happy someone made a video for this sad mall...
That sweet little boy looking at the fountain ❤
I've watched 9 of these videos today. What is my life?
Dead...😜
Get out to your local mall instead
thanks for another Friday night date at the mall Dan. always a good time! same time next week?
Friday night at the mall. man those were the days.
Friday nights are sometimes a "double mall night" for me: I go to one of my local, lively malls with my mother just to hang out for awhile, and then return home to see the latest Dead Mall Series episode!
Thanks, Sassy! Perhaps. Haven’t decided yet.
+This is Dan Bell. haha typical man.... playing hard to get! lol I'll be at the orange julius stand just in case. I love the videos!
Nice! I checked out their website today.. they have a counter that says "Christmas is just around the corner" and it says it's 365 days away. Sounds accurate! lol
I did the same thing and thought that also!! how crazy!
I saw that too. What the hell?
Their website must be on all the drugs. ;)
LOL.. I just moused over it. "Christmas, August 20th 2017" Also, the footer says (C) 2016 Default copyright text. Come on! It's not that hard even with the little money they have.
bwahahaha.
A clean nose and a bright future is what all warriors strive for, mah boi!
Every once in awhile I come back to these to remember why I loved Dan Bell♡
Dan your videos are awesome! Binge watching the whole dead mall series right now.
Had to share...
Yesterday my husband and I were getting out of the car and he had to wait for me to blow my nose. When I was finished he said "There ya go with a clean nose and a bright future"
I could barely get out of the car I was laughing so hard. The couple who were with us, now think we are a few generic decorations short of a dead mall but that's ok. We are Bellheads and proud. LOL
Omg the beat to this video is amazing. Makes me wanna go on a search for more and add these to my ipod.
You need to revisit Signal Hill mall now in 2022.. no words ...just unimaginable grossness..
gnc lives forever!
I'm convinced both those stores are fronts for the mob, Al Qaeda, or the CIA.
It's the South; every Belk in the US is packed to capacity with old Southern women during hours of operation. I think it's a law or something.
With the pile of belk coupons in their purse. The only way to get a good deal...They no longer have big hair just big asses....🤣
The static shot of the grandmother watching children that may or may not be her own in front of the closed NBA store was perfect art and a well framed shot.
Another awsome video from Dan Bell i absolutely love it when you do the old 1960's and the 1970's retro malls. You have a Australian fan that absolutely love the American malls that are really different the malls back here in Australia.
holy shit! ive been to this mall
+VOREVOX dude....I see you everywhere. lol small world
+VOREVOX Subbed back. 😀👍
The “stage” use to be a place for tables on each side for people to eat. There use to be a Chick-fil-a right there by the area.
@Aimee Webber ahaha if you want to say that. Belk is still open.... about the only thing other than little shops here and there. Other than that, it's a ghost town.
I feel sick after watching these so depressing but I cant stop watching!
Dan, you should come to visit Illinois sometime. In the suburbs of Chicago alone, there are an increasing number of malls falling into "Dead Mall" status. One in my backyard is the Huntley Outlet Center, an outdoor mall currently down to just 8 retail stores, with a completely empty food court. If you do come check it out, I'll buy you a coffee!
Dan, you must check out the Fairgrounds mall in PA. When I was a kid, it used to be FILLED with people..sadly, it's very empty, and there's only a few stores left in there.
Dan, my 7 year old son and I love the dead mall series. Keep it up :)
Your voice, the way you develop your narrative, the music... Time travel. The best urban exploration I have ever seen.
"Clean nose, bright future" I need that on a t-shirt lol
Mall Walker Confirmed!
Clean nose and all
I jump for joy every time you upload a new video, it's amazing to experience another mall I've never seen
i love the old woman sitting, waiting, staring down at the empty corridor and probably thinking about how empty it's become
I love the sweet old lady sitting alone
We've got a walker!!
I really can't feel sorry for malls. My memories of malls, are a huge task force of "mall security guards" who ran around pretending they were cops, harassing the kids... It's no wonder those kids grew up and NEVER WENT BACK.
That's more of an indication of what's wrong with this country. If someone can't grow up, look back on their childish stupidity, and realize that the adults weren't being out of line, then they have not moved beyond childhood. This country's adult citizenry is mostly overgrown children.
+Tim Ramich that's not true, kids are targets.
P A U L B L A R T
Because it's impossible for adults to be out of line, right? Must always be the kids fault. Seriously though, why do you think it's so important to grow up and move beyond childhood? What do you see stupid about childishness?
+Link Judging by your avatar, which is a cartoon, and that you have a Japanese fetish, you will never think objectively on this subject, just as the child can never come to the realization that they are the common denominator when it comes to adults supposedly giving them a hard time.
I used to go to this mall when I was a teenager. Back then in the late 90's it was always busy and lots of stores. I haven't been there in years and seeing it was weird and nostalgic at the same time. Those planters and bench used to be ashtrays when you could smoke in the mall. I really enjoy these videos. Very interesting!
thanks to this video i stopped by this mall a few months ago... it was every bit as beautiful as this video made it out to be. One thing i didn't consider is how much the whole mall would smell like chlorine. you can hear the fountain from all over the mall.
You know its bad when JCPenny is closed.
I've been to the USA countless times and I've never heard of Belk 😮
Dan's music choice is impeccable. It's so funny how this type of music could be used for an 80's throw back film.... or a Grand Theft Auto trailer. Talk about polarity.
