That poor mall went down hill so fast. It used to be the place to hang out and go. I went every Friday night. I’m happy it’s at least being used for something at this point. It’s sat for a very long time.
@@sham9505Mall is just called the Charlestowne Mall. It is located in St. Charles Illinois. From what I know only Von Maur and a movie theater is actually open in it.
true, I get the waitress getting depressed from the department store part. All the other clips had some insane nostalgia + wild feelings though, not as much "desecration" (BTW I dont conciously care about the mall fr, but I am talking about weird subconcious feelings that happen when you literally had so many memories in a place & then see it for the first time in a decade like this)
It definitely is, but if it's actually abandoned it hasn't been long... I was at the theater there just last year. It's always been fairly empty but not completely vacant. Looks like Wikipedia says its demolition was announced 11/21?
@@NoahWL1 I think there’s only one store technically left but you can’t access the actual mall anymore. I think the theater relocated to a different side of the mall but once again the main mall is walled off
i wonder if Mr. Papadakis would like a pupil, cars are a passion of mine that i have been locked out of due to inability to find a teacher, besides the point, Donut media showed parts of how this gent built the world's first 1000hp supra, brilliant man to say the least
So what you're saying is all those amazon boxes I told my wife I needed, is going to be really helpful this weekend.... :P Not bad to the GR survived with minor reclipping needed. If that S2k in 2f2f had boxes, it wouldn't need a new front end :P Also just repurpose abandoned malls as drift circuits!
Is this Toyota sponsorship we should be able to see you more. Hint hint maybe like Ken block and Audi you know. I don't know just a thought. You were one of the greatest drag racers NIHRA in the late 90s
Why didn't you guys tell me you were in St. Charles 😔 I could have been there to pester you guys, make you feel awkward, and see cool drifts in-person.
Now we know you can jump a GR86 better than you can jump a Tesla
That Jordan guy is saying Too Soon
I dont know this reference? What happened? How can I find more about this?
@@darekmistrz4364 a TikToker jumped a Tesla a few days ago on public streets in California and hit a parked car.
Lmao wow
@@darekmistrz4364 idk if it was a tic toker but Alex choi is the guy you’re looking for he got the video up
Ma Man James Smith looks exactly like the kind of guy that makes a living jumping cars, and then retires pleasantly to tend to his land
"if you need some demolition in mall, call Papadakis Racing"
*Renovation at it's finest*

What’s it called?

Words cant express my love for this channel and the toyota car series.
fa real
Been here dozens of times since the early 2000s and it’s bizarre watching this and seeing the emptiness of that place.
I wanted an 86 since the first gen in 2013. Such sporty little cars.
Amazing cant wait for the GR Corolla drift event reveal!
It's amazing how all malls look the same
The teasers for the GR corolla on that ad are crazy, I'm curious as to how it looked on set!
This was my local mall it’s really strange to see it look like that now
what is/was the name of it? because it looks alot like my local abandoned mall
Charlestown mall in St Charles Il

What a guy, he's build the ramp and Jumping the car too!. Is that St Charles mall? That's very close to me, I had no idea that mall was abandoned.

The theater is still there and open, as is Von Maur, but the rest of the mall has been closed for years.
My childhood mall AND my first car was the first 86! Hope you enjoyed my hometown.
Hard to believe I used to shop here with my mom as a kid
That's local to me! Was at that mall many times lol. Wish I knew you all were there.
I was really hoping you might “accidentally” show a teaser of the Corolla GR
Good old Charlestown Mall, it's been dead a while, only the movie theater was keeping it alive last time I was there.
I live a few minutes from this place. I’m glad it’s being put to good use lol.
I lol'd when Larry suddenly became a "car repair guy"
This was incredible, thank you for sharing!
Papadakis can pass as the real life Toretto lol
lol if he were a bit taller
I worked at this mall. It's about time they did something with it.
I so wish I'd known this was going on! STC IS MY HOMETOWN! WOOOOO!!!
Epic my Friend, absolutely Epic!
Amazing! We live in St. Charles and it’s about damn time someone did something with the mall!! Rad!!
Open "track" day? I'd soooo sign up for that!
@@heatherhodge1590 You bet!!
Thanks for thr invite. I live right behind there!
The precision, that's awesome
Salute to my guy Jhonnattan from DR🇩🇴✌🏾… great vid, great car content
Very entertaining and simply GReat advertising. 👍😎👍
Saweeet... especially since the Mall where this was filmed is just down the street and is where I "hungout" as a teenager!!
This was such a great BTS video! Loved the commercial!
Epic !!!! would not expect any less from Pap!!! doing just cool shit ... and smart !!
dope...i also LOVE that Larry was there!
I used to go to this mall religiously it was the spot back in the day
Well, that was pretty awesome!
Great job
From Argentina 🇦🇷
Keep it up
Thanks for all the help my friend!
Cool to see Andy Bell from Nitro Circus there.
I worked at this mall for a few years! It's surreal to see it like this, nothing has changed at all.
Salute PR good video 🙏👍🔥🇵🇷💯
Amazing.
Andy Bell! Haven't seen him since the original Nitro Circus days!
Absolutely awesome video. I work for TMNA and it is fantastic to see behind the scenes of this great ad, which we at the company all love. Thank you!
Wow that looks fun
That's awesome!!
This must have been fun! 👍
1:06 - so that's where all my Amazon packages keep going 😪
Harkens me back to the movie, 'the blues brothers" when they destroyed the Dixie mall in harvey Illinois.
Best commercial ever
Poppa docks carpet installation 🤣 🤣 🤣
What an absolute dream!
Well... GR86 💗
That mall still looks in great shape - what a shame it's abandoned.
wicked!
That’s my mall! Skate there all the time
Inside or outside, and how the hell do you get in there?!?!
Savage 🔥💯
Malls like this one should be used as training or playgrounds so much room for activities.
So dam cool
Larry goes from photo guy to car repair guy.. That a character arc right there
that 86 was so durable! literally drifting around a whole mall, jumps onto some cardboard, and only has a loose front splitter!
*Coconut Mall theme plays*
drifting a mall?!?!?!?!?! AND JUMPING!?!?!?!?!?! like whoa

Is that the same spot for Hoonigan's Black Friday vid?
Damn, this looks alot like Stratford Square Mall.....alot of malls it seems went under in that general area.
It’s Charlestown dude I thought the same thing but it’s another mall like 20 min away
This was sick and depressing at the same time, all that wasted space tho.
Exactly how I felt
I bet it sounded like heaven in there.
Yes gr corolla confirmed!
So what you're saying is all those amazon boxes I told my wife I needed, is going to be really helpful this weekend.... :P Not bad to the GR survived with minor reclipping needed. If that S2k in 2f2f had boxes, it wouldn't need a new front end :P

Millimeter precision jump....
Simultaneously it is the one of the coolest and most depressing video I have ever seen, if I were toyota I would not use this footage
Man I live 10 mins from that mall, I remember shopping there years ago
Was this the mall at the end of the last season of Ozark?
I know this won't get answered but how close to Aasbos corolla would you say the GR Corolla design is?
That's fucking amazing! Wish I could do something like this lol
Is this the same mall that Ozark was shot in? Looks very similar.
wow is the footage at 3:40 raw or final edit? it looks amazing
did you get to drive the GR Rolla?
That mall is in St. Charles, IL.
damn, the new mario kart 8 deluxe dlc looking fire
Haha "Larry chen car repair guy"
Dudes really sent a few Toyotas to the back rooms
I guess LMAO
Hello papadakis are you from Greece?
So sad. I used to shop there. The footage is awesome though.
Show us the corollaaaaa😩😩
Καλησπερα από Ελλάδα
I’d be a bit depressed if that was our home town mall. Well not anymore because it sucks! But it used to be a cool place as kids.
Is this Toyota sponsorship we should be able to see you more. Hint hint maybe like Ken block and Audi you know. I don't know just a thought. You were one of the greatest drag racers NIHRA in the late 90s
Is it a stock 86?
The gr Yaris would have been awesome
Shoutout st Charles
I just saw this commercial like an hour ago on Instagram😆😆
also a glimpse of the camera shot in the mirror reflection 3:43😆
Senior management - perfect depiction of how clueless they usually are.
The new oldsmobiles are in early this year
Wait, is the mall where Tiffany shot the music video "I think we're alone now" ????
lmao i went skating here with my homies a lot back in the day. shits been empty since at least 2014.
Dream team, dream job, dream car. Even that jump is like dream.
where is pizza?
this is the mall where i go to see movies 😭😭😭
Why didn't you guys tell me you were in St. Charles 😔 I could have been there to pester you guys, make you feel awkward, and see cool drifts in-person.
Lol
Dude did literally the same thing with a Tesla the other day, no carboard boxes tho!
