- čas přidán 2. 12. 2021
- Original Release Date : April 23, 2015
Landmark Mall Alexandria, VA
UPDATE : Mall closed on 1/31/17. Since closing the mall has served as a homeless shelter (In the old Macy’s) and most spectacularly as a filming location for the 2017 film Wonder Woman.. As of December 2021, the mall remains closed and is still in the planning stages of redevelopment. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
So depressing 😢 I shopped here at Lord & Taylor with my late husband when my kids were in grade school. We’d drive down from Harrisburg to go to the “big stores” in Alexandria. 💔 RIP to an era
The giant center part of the mall was used for Wonder Woman 1984. Patty Jenkins’s production designer decorated and renewed 65 different stores to make it look like an 80’s mall the stunt people had to cut into the columns to do the rigging and the mall was completely functional while they were filming. It was so cool to watch on the big screen when I saw it!!!
It’s interesting to see videos like these years after the malls have disappeared.
Not torn down yet, but soon. INOVA is going to build a new hospital there, and of course...condos.
Hi Dan, in case your question hasn't been answered yet, that center stage in the food court used to have a grand piano. When I would go on weekends, someone would be playing. Not sure when that ceased but I guess the stage had been vacant for quite awhile. Cheers 👍
Beautiful mall! Wish it was still open.
I’m saying it’s in great condition
Hey Dan, slight correction: in the description you mention the Wonder Woman connection. It was used in the 2020 sequel, Wonder Woman 1984
The last stores in the mall are always: nail salon, Chinese buffet, and that weird store that sells souvenir lamps and pictures of Marilyn Monroe.
I want to walk around a dead mall today! Yup, I’m going to Citadel Mall. I love it when a plan comes together!
So glad you were able to film this Dan. A shame such a beautiful mall has seen it's dying breath. Thank you for the #Upload🔥 Much Love 😘♾️🕉️🖖
I remember watching all these brand new like 2017 you always got me into retail and even back into kmart!! Always enjoyed and loved your videos!!
2017? Try 2015. Ancient. Haha.
@@dmsremastered I could not remember the exact dates dang ! Time flys ! When you get in your 30s 🤣

"Don't worry, kid. It just gets worse."

Thanks the algorithm for alerting me to this. I lived very near this in the late 1980s. I remember several attempts to renovate this.
I remember when these you Dan uploaded them on you tube, now that there remaster to 4k quality it's like I'm watching them again to see i remember, thanks for sharing.📹
I remember going to this mall before! It’s so sad to see it close forever…
In 2017 I was doing a contract job in Washington DC and lived in Alexandria, Va. I had seen Landmark mall from the highway going past it and it looked huge so I thought I’d go check it out. I had not seen any dead mall videos at that time and was completely unaware about how malls were dying all around the nation. The only place open was the Sears and the rest of the mall was closed. I was absolutely shocked. This huge mall right off a busy highway in a densely populated Washington DC area that was dead. It was absolutely surreal and this was when I first became aware that malls were dying. It was a bit depressing. I was hoping to see a big beautiful mall. I didn’t understand how this could happen.
At least someone's taking good care of the plants at this one. They look suprisingly nice
It was interesting seeing this mall in Wonder Woman 1984 as they made quite a few modifications to it including repainting it! :)
UPDATE: Mall torn down during Summer 2022; construction of 1st phase now scheduled to begin. My son and I were allow into the mall to take pictures about a week before destruction commenced. Landmark Mall suffered a long death, hanging on for years for the inevitable to occur.
Hey I've been watching your dead Mall series for sometime it's saddens me cuz I used to work in malls doing photography and this moment I just looked at I was one of the people that were in there back in the earlier '90s it's saddens me but there is two malls in the Bangor Maine area Bangor Mall and the airport Mall there's an aristic center Mall up in aristic county way up there that you should check out I think that you would find it interesting thank you and keep up the work bringing us these malls that are just dying it saddens me to the to my core someday they might come back but we all really know that will never happen thank you for the entertainment
I remember shopping in this mall in the 90s when I was a kid. Miss the glory days of it. The last time I went, only the sears was left and you couldn’t enter the actual mall itself.
I used to live right next to Landmark It was pretty interesting to see the place use to have business to housing the homeless. 7:24 was actually a jewelry store and watch repair and 8:53 had a taco bell and chick fill a and there was a Pocket Change (arcade) and Waldenbooks.
Remember when Brentano’s bookstore was there too, by the main entrance? The Gap was next to it.
Yeaa it's funny I noticed that alot of elderly people in my town go to the mall amd do like 5 laps and excercise in the main court? I'm assuming because theres not to many people and also its covered
Hey Dan, did you happen to ever do one on the Golden Ring Mall? Really dig your channel. Be careful in Bmore city.
This mall is in the process of getting demolished. Demolition began in May 2022.
I work about 10 minutes away from this old mall.
I'm sure there are people who would love to shop in the mall from Wonder Woman 1984. It's sad that it was only chosen because it would be so empty.
Italian Pizza is not the only one. There is Mexican Pizza, which is really good.
And now demolition has started... what a shame
2022 and this dump is still standing. Pretty soon you may be able to film one of these on Tyson’s Corner too.
Pentagon City mall is doomed, too.
I remember visiting Tysons Corner, Pentagon City and the Landmark the second time I visited the US in September - December 2006. The Landmark was already threadbare then. Pentagon City seemed to serve the nearby offices whereas Tysons Corner seemed to serve a much larger area. It's a shame to hear even the bigger malls are struggling too.
What brought me? Italian pizza.
What Brings You?
Its good for the mall to remain intact, designed to have them restored, repaired with new concept, since its atmosphere is 90s, that was 2 decades. It should catch up with the 22nd century. It can be designed with newer colors, aside from the concept and theme. Bankruptcy protection are always accorded to TAX payers, specially businesses and mall wide operation with the tenants and leasers, that are for permanency, as the options are also stated per mall agreements, attested by the building officers/building administrators and developers. Coordination between private and public sectors, while estate taxes are also realization standards for the building mall not to resort quickly in filing bankruptcy, since taxes are back up always in the businesses that both sectors attests in their respective operation. Taxes are designed for reconciliation of records and application of the measures and standards designed for businesses and consumers. Tearing buildings and demolishing are costly, time consuming and most of all not eco friendly. Its best to walk, visit malls from time to time, experience the standards of excellence.

Mall walkers usually have an app or some kind of device to count there steps.
There is a beautiful mall in Exton Pennsylvania call Exton Square Mall
that looks very similar to a mall we have here in the philippines..except the malls are packed with people and shops :)
You can tell a mall is desperate when they allow what looks like flea market stuff. Dan, have you been back to Marley Station lately?
Italian Pizza 😂🤣
Looks like the wonder woman mall from the movie
The Proper People just did an exploration of this (now abandoned and demolished) mall, filmed mere weeks before demolition! The difference is staggering. Watch here: czcams.com/video/L106fYg9H5M/video.html
I’m dizzy. No stabilizer.
No way this was built in 1965!
It was renovated of course but you would be surprised how many design styles/principals that look modern to most are actually very old.
This iteration of it opened in '90. Before that it was a one level open plaza.
10:40 Not really. Pizza as we know it was "invented" in New York. Then it was Chicago who took it to the next level.
Was a mini carousel where you thought the stage was? Maybe was one there.
