- Yeah, Baby! 😜
...
Actually it is 1999 and this is footage of people meandering about at the second largest mall in Atlanta.
Shots of various retail outlets, including an EB Games store.
This video from May lasts around 11 minutes.

My jaw dropped at the Discovery Channel store. Pictures of that are pretty scarce, and here you are with a whole-ass video of it.
As someone who was born in 1998 , it's nice to see footage of people walking around the mall, not on their phones.
Observing life as it should be. I agree Carl.
1997 here and I agree but that's definitely the world we live in now.
oh jesus christ
1989 here, and I agree
I’ll forever love Malls and the good ole days of being outside 😢 I still shop at them but I hate how there’s not many anymore and that they don’t look like how they use to look.
it makes me sad that life will never be this simple again, i think we should all feel blessed we had the opportunity to grow up in such a time, even just the sounds...... it sounds peaceful compared to a mall these days.
Appearances are deceiving. Life wasn't simple in 1999. Life has never been simple in any era.
@@letthereberock1 The absence of smartphones and good meaningful conversations with people was worth it alone IMO.
@@letthereberock1life was simple compared to the chaos today
malls are actually stiil like this it just depends on where you go. The mall near where I live haven't changed in a long time. Just have new store in there with the classic mall aesthetic.
@@letthereberock1 but he right
Did you used to work for a news station ? These clips are truly a Time Machine back in time. I get so much joy from these
I think this is amazing.1999 is a throwback to the last good ol' times.if your looking for a good time,this is the year to do it.
In my opinion every decade has gotten steadily worse since the 90s. It's not even just getting older, it's the state of society, government, etc. At least in America. The 80s were magical. The 90s weren't as much so but still great, lots of fun. The 2000s started getting worse (9-11, unpopular wars, etc.), the 2010s brought massively divisive racial, identity, and governmental politics into every walk of life, the 2020s began with a health epidemic and a war that could have disastrous effects for decades, etc etc etc. The 90s really were the last decade that had any kind of positive identity that was free from crisis.
@@MiketheratguyMultimedia 2000 and 2001 (before September) were the only two good years in the 00s.
I can't believe you have coverage of a place I went to as a kid. This is amazing I might visit there today.
thx for the sub
Love seeing people again not on their phones
Seeing EB Games takes me way back. We had that store and Software Etc. in our local mall. Never heard of the Discovery Channel Store. And seeing those Now Hiring signs reminds me of something like today. You're seeing that everywhere lol
🤣🤣 Yes...they really are everywhere Mark!
LOL grew up going to that mall in the 1980's and watched it being built as a kid in the 1970's. Great times hanging out and meeting with friends from Chamblee HIgh at Perimeter Mall!
The good ole days!
This is my timeline take me back!!!
♥️
While I was born in 2001 and don't remember visiting this mall much, it's amazing to see old footage of it and knowing I was here once as a kid. I'm gonna have to share it to my siblings and see if they remember any of it! I just now discovered this channel and I know I'm gonna be hooked just watching these videos from here on. You're doing something amazing by keeping these archived.
Thank you for the kind words 😊
I would've only been trying to get my way to the EB Games store if my parents took me to the mall back then.
"The Herb Shop" has a different meaning now
phones really destroyed us...I'm convinced
So you gettin ridda yours?
I bet the wage back then is still pretty much the same today
I'm convinced this account is a time traveler
😂😂
For some reason these videos make me appreciate life more
I hope so. Some people get depressed 😔
Glad this mall is still open.
1:21 Malibu’s Most Wanted! 😂
So funny to watch, everyone is using cash...
I used to work at the shopping center across the street from this mall from '04-'07 and would always go there on my lunch break. Good times catching the last MARTA at the train station behind the mall at midnight in the winter.
I worked in the mall in 1999! And that Metabolife was banned. I remember having some!
I was running around that mall alot as a child back in 1999
When most back then hired locally at the store level, even for the chains. "see manager for application"
I live one exit away from perimeter mall and worked at a high end steakhouse out front for years. I’ve been in perimeter since the mid 90s and wow has it changed. This one hit me with nostalgia
😭where did the good times go ? You could go to the mall and shop and not have to worry about craziness an chaos
Can't thank you enough for all the uploads to the channel, these videos are truly like observing the past
Thanks Joe ... that comment makes me happy 😊
@@vampirerobot do you have any footage from mall of ga area?
Oh man, an AI upscale of this would look amazingggg
Yeah, I don't do that.
Classic time's
WOW, I live here, incredible, Thank You.
I was a senior in high school this year, and I was working at a McD's in a mall in NY at the time. The malls weren't about activities so much as shopping as there was barely any sort of internet shopping going on. We would get CRAZY busy Friday and Saturday nights due to the movie theater right next door to us. Plus a lot of theaters actually still allowed outside food into the theater. Back when going to the movies was still very much a big deal, considering the quality of films back then being better and having to wait months and months for it to be released on VHS/Dvd after its theatrical run.
I wish I could go back, as a kid (I was born in 1989) and buy all the first edition pokemon cards. I'd be the worlds first trillionaire. I have to build that time machine.
This was just as the Web was ramping up, digital cameras where becoming more widespread, mobile phones were getting pocket sized, personal digital devices, such as the blackberry, were appearing on the market, movie theatres were testing out digital projections while the majority of theatres were still projecting 35mm film, Star Wars Episode 1 was about to take movie making into the next cgi age, even if the story and acting disappointed everyone, retail stores still accepted resumes as applying on-line was just in its infancy, flatscreen tvs where still few and far between, Apple computer was releasing the iMac and was about to make the comeback of the century, renting VHS and DVDs at the video store was predominately how you watched movies at home, Netflix was pushing the digital envelope as you could watch movie trailers on their website and then rent the DVD which would be sent to you by mail with a return envelope so you could stuff it into the nearest post-office box to return it (no late fees). The cross-over from Analogue to Digital.
If astral projection is real, would I be possible to astral project back to the 90s? I was born in 2001 and would literally do anything to spend one day in 1999 😭
Do you have any footage of a Warner Bros. Studios Store? There used to be one in a mall by me. At its peak there were 130 locations. They were only around for 10 years, 1991-2001.
The whole interior was so colorful bay then
10:32... Oh Fruitopia... lol
Thanks for uploading these videos. Not a time machine but pretty damn close.
Before humans were replaceable by robots.
Some of those people are dead now :(
Blast from the past 😍💜
Pre 9/11 hit different
Is that Macy’s or Nordstrom at the beginning?
Who records these videos?
The playstation would have been about 25 hours of work for someone making minimum wage but in Georgia but currently would be 68 hours of work to buy a new PlayStation.... Ew
Looks nothing like it did. Used to go to perimeter as a kid
I just had the strangest feeling. Many of these people, especially the ones who here are elderly, now only exist in echoes etched in light. Except that this little record of them was created, they exist only in faulty recollection and photographs.
These people were entirely inconsequential on this day. But here they're a reminder of how things used to be, and that makes them special. In all the arbitrariness, all the unimportant babble. Just looking at it is nearly enough to take you back, right?
The person who recorded this probably never imagined future strangers would appreciate it the way we do.
from march 1999
why is no one on their phones. These days are the best any time before sucks and any time after is better. Things are way to simple now back in my say nobody knew cool fun stuff on the go they had to grab a book that told them fun facts. What a bunch of nerds. This mall is cool because of the fountains.
