  • DEAD MALL: Colonial Park Mall - Harrisburg, PA. Enjoy a walk through this old mall which may very well be closing soon. The mall recently went up for auction online with a starting bid of $2.1 million. The future of the mall is in the hands of the new owner once the auction is finalized.

    An awesome video, Wallie! 👍👍👍👍 One of my sisters lived in Harrisburg, PA for 15 years. In the very early 1990s I went to Harrisburg to visit with my sister and I went to the Colonial Park Mall while visiting my sister. I really liked the Colonial Park Mall and the mall was really thriving at the time I was visiting my sister. My sister doesn't live in Harrisburg, PA anymore. She resides up in northern Maine.

    I remember very well going to this mall in the early 1960's as a kid with my parents. I continued to shop there until Sears shut down. Now, there's not much left! SAD!

    Man i miss the malls. When me and a buddy of mine was in our teens,we used to go to the mall on the weekends just to check out all the pretty girls. It was great! LOL.

    Been following you for a long time Wallie and I'll say this, this is getting pretty scary the rate all these malls are closing I fear by 2030 we won't have any malls left to go to and that would be a darn shame.

    Boscov's is the best department store ever. They're remodeling the one in Camp Hill, it's busy often. I'm there probably once a month.

    Im in central PA and we pretty much only have Logan Valley mall (Altoona) and then there's Nittany Mall (state college) which nittany mall might as well be closed down as it has next to nothing. Sadly we lost Lycoming mall ( muncy) awhile back but had fond memories of it .

  • @marshmallows5641
    @marshmallows5641 Před měsícem +2

    Some really good aesthetics! The planters, the pillars, the title, and that fountain!! You can really tell it's a 60s era mall around the back.

    It was such a a nice mall. No one shops at them anymore. Park City in Lancaster still has traffic but even it is going to be redeveloped as a mixed use property. Strange to think of a time when there weren't malls. They decimated city centers and now they're all going to die as well.

    I was never a big fan of the Colonial Park Mall. I used to frequent the Capital City Mall in Camp Hill. I remember Colonial Park being run down at one point and then they revamped it and it really looked nice. But good looks only get you so far with crappy owners/management.

  • @otpmetairie4862

    It was pretty 🌞. I don't know, but I still walk around our mall. We used to have lots of malls and they closed down too.

    I use to take my girlfriend here all the time, it was one of the busiest places in the state at one point... I just went there a couple months ago and it made me sad.

    I'm wondering if the same company that owns this mall owned the chapel hill mall in akron ohio too many similar things such as not paying the utilities and letting the properties run to the ground

      Yep malls never learned how to compete with online stores. That's what happens when you refuse to evolve and adapt. You fade away.

    The only mall left in the Harrisburg area is the Capital City mall. That one is oddly still bustling with a packed parking lot during peak hours. The area as a whole is growing more than almost every other part of the state. It's just malls are a dying breed that can't sustain themselves in the current environment. They never adapted and evolved.

    • @SliderFury1
      @SliderFury1 Před 15 dny

      Couldn't have said it better, came here to talk about the Capital City Mall. Place is a madhouse on weekends and around the holidays, it's nice to see.
      We don't need multiple gigantic malls anymore but a few smaller ones with good layouts and the right selection of stores and restaurants will continue to do well.

  • @austinblackwell7091

    I live pretty close to this mall and it’s dead nothing ever goes on in here I think they need to knock down the mall and put in a walmart cause there is only one in the harrisburg area and its overly crowded

    • @SliderFury1
      @SliderFury1 Před 14 dny

      Walmart+Sam's Club would be sweet.
