That takes the cake. Instead of fixing the roof and ceiling long before it got this bad... just let it get so bad you have to put a dollar store swimming pool out to catch the water. This was my favourite mall. I loved this place. This is way worse than my summer visit last year. I was just there this weekend and the decay got horrendous in the front corridor and it's being demoed inside. Thanks for the video.
And there’s Wilson the maintenance guy sitting and enjoying the mold. Very nice man, he was always friendly when we would stop by and ask how things are going. I seriously think the guy unfortunately did not smell the mold in the place after breathing that air in for so long. There’s no way he hasn’t gotten sick from being inside for hours a day.
Oh I was about to say how did you get in 3 months ago. But I realize this was October 20th May 3rd you just uploaded it 3 months ago. And they closed 6 months ago
Anyone in the comments know what the plans are for the structure now that it’s closed? I know Belk is still open, but are they part of redevelopment plans or leaving the site?
Belk is still opened as they independently own that building. The rest of the mall i can only assume will be taken down as it's now unsafe to have anyone in there. My best guess is it will probably sit a while longer but it being in such a prime location it would be used for non retail things. The interior where I was walking closed in January 2024
That sucks. I was never a huge into malls. However ones like this one suck to see go. It still has some character and charm that malls from the 70's, 80's and 90's had, (fountains, trees, a little interesting architecture. Now most malls look stale and soulless, hey here is another westfield mall, blah.

Wow, what an upscale shopping experience
So fitting that the music is playing Disco Inferno... "burn baby burn" 🔥 🔥 🔥
It's so sad, haunting and beautiful at the same time to see a place like this open for its final days.
Great Video!
amazing that the fountain was the last thing working in that mall
Malls are no more…….Where did the time go???…..😢😢

I watch a lot of this type of video's. You leaving backwards and letting the door close in front of you was top notch!! @kanepixels
They closed it now.
Yeah the caption says this was back in October of 2023 it was already closed 3 months ago. It was closed I believe 5 months ago in February
Back in the 80’s and 90’s malls were hopping but not anymore unfortunately……

That place needs to be torn down……it’s gone……
It's getting torn down as we speak. I stopped by this weekend. Inside is getting demoed. Especially down by Belk.
@@WallieB26 that’s good to hear….
It is being demolished it's going to be replaced by housing and other stores according to alexa.
