- Dead Mall | Signal Hill Mall - Statesville, NC. Touring around the Signal Hill Mall and remembering all the time I spent there as a child. This mall opened in 1973 and was never updated. It still looks like like it did when it opened. Sadly it is more or less abandoned now and the only only stores left are Belk and Wooten Jewelers.

Cool video man. The Record Bar was the same record store you were videoing asking about. I remember my mom got me the Michael Jackson Billie Jean 45 in there when I was like 6 lol. It had 4 or 5 different names. I remember it was called Tracks or something at one time also.
I spent hours in that place....worked at Hills in High School. It's a shame the owner just lets it rot.
That is a cool story about the Michael Jackson 45 record. I can't recall my age at the time. But my first non country album was purchased at the Record Bar. It was Michael Jackson Thriller!😆 Thanks for watching.
Memory lane for me too buddy. 90s. So much gone so much time passed
I was so shocked to see the mall in this condition. Thank you for stopping by my channel. Next time I am in the area I will try to film something else.
Great to see a vid from someone that grew up in the mall! The maintenance guy keeps the place clean, but the ceilings are a mess and he can’t help that…
Walking through the mall that day really tugged at my heart strings. It was sad to see how little was there. And for the ceiling and mildew smell. I wish they would fix that for the sake of the maintenance man working there. Thank you for watching.
By gone era... Sad to see indeed. Interesting video...
Thanks for watching. I revisited a month ago. Here is the newest video czcams.com/video/x7KLb6lCLK0/video.htmlsi=m9uzdTQ7lvuuSx6t

The Record Bar was exactly right there. That was my after school hangout spot in the 80's. Great memories in that mall. So sad they let it get this way.
Hey Angie! Great memories indeed. Thank you for watching.
I have watched this place dwindle down to nothing. Spent my childhood and most of my adult life there. Sad to see it go!
I agree with you Scott. I hate to see it waste away. The mall was a great place to hangout with friends or just do some shopping. It will be missed by our generation. Thanks for watching.
It’s amazing how much this place has changed over the years
Yes it is and unfortunately not for the better. It's a travesty for the community.
Spainhour’s, Sage Sports, New York & Company(formerly known as Lerner), and Pearle Vision Center are some of the other stores. Foot Action was once on the same end with Radio Shack.
Thanks for watching Lynn. Have a good day!👍
Omg… so many memories here. My godmom worked at KB toys and I remember playing in the store waiting for her to get off. Ahhh… the water fountain, the bookstore, the Tuxedo shop, the pet store - JC Pennys where they would have performers in front of the store… wow - so many memories.
Thank you for sharing some of your memories about this place. Have a wonderful rest of your day. And thank you for watching.
It was the Music Bar then Turtle Music next
I appreciate your information on that. It was so long ago. Thank you for watching. Have a great rest of your day.
Record Bar was in the mall. I used to work in that mall. Good memories.
If you don't mind me asking. Where did you work? Thanks for watching.
@@HitchHikingYeti I worked at Woolworth in 1980. I worked at Mom and Pops in high school. I also worked in 1981 at JC Penney wrapping presents at Christmas. And I worked another Christmas job at Mr. Sport in about 1988. I grew up in behind the carwash. When I wasn't working on my dad's shop or public work, I lived at the mall. I could write a book about things relating to the mall. I remember buying my 45's at Woolworth and just about everything else. I'm older than you, so you may not remember a couple of those stores, but when the mall first opened, the stores ( some of them were different)
I was pregnant with my daughter when I worked at Woolworth. That store alone holds so many good memories. I watched your video teary eyed. Thank you
@@aspenreed6932 That is so cool. I remember my parents buying my first Nintendo from the Woolworth store. Thanks again for sharing your memories. Have a great day my friend.
That first store with the green pieces on the wall was probably a cell phone cricket wireless place.
Thank you for the thought.
Surprised that place is still open? I was thinking that Sears was one of the last ones left in the state? The Sears website was showing that store as open a couple of years ago? Amazing that the fountain is still on.
I agree Dennis. I think the Signal Hill Mall is just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Thank you watch buddy.
The old Arcade used to be the Record Store.
Hey Ron thanks for the info. Thanks for watching.
@@HitchHikingYeti I remember when the Mall used to be a empty field. It took them about a year to build it back in the early 70’s
My first job was at Eckerds Drug Store when I was 17. Back in 1978.
@@ronedwards2584 Was Eckerds Drug Store down in the Newtowne Plaza area?
@@HitchHikingYeti yes
The amount of mold in that place is crazy. I was there early summer 2021 and the mold kicked me in the face….
It will still kick you the face now lol
Yes it was the record bar
Thank you for watching.
