@@Djevan41598because of technology.. even having technology back then, it wasn’t used as much as it is nowadays. So people would rather have the convenience of being on their phones all day online shopping at their house. Which is where a lot of stores also love to use online shopping to keep their ‘exclusive’ items.
I just went to the mall a few weeks ago. Plenty of people were still going. I think part of the reason why so many are shutting down is because there were too many being built when mall culture was at its peak in the 80s, when people had less options for going shopping. Now, because we buy so many things online and more and more stores have been popping up in cities and towns, instead of the mall being one of the few options for buying things, it's one of many. People still shop at malls, but they're not doing it as frequently, because it's not as necessary as it was 40 years ago. So when there are too many malls and not enough people coming frequently enough, then those malls aren't getting enough customers, so shutting some of them down and only leaving a few in each area makes more sense, I think (varies from town to town), because mall shoppers can go to one mall and that mall gets more money and people coming in.
I don't understand usa. Here in Finland if big buildings are known to even close to be abandoned, then they have always been demolished. It's not only nature friendly but also ready new space for other things.
I remember going here as a child. It’s sad to see such a nostalgic and beautiful mall go through todays society… I just wish that maybe people would spend more time outside than inside now. But technology these days are so ‘advanced’ that a lot of people would rather stay stuck inside glued to their bed because of the ‘convenience’ even having a device, I wish people would still go outside. I hate seeing abandoned places, as a lot of them are abandoned because they succumbed to today’s technology, or they may have a dark past. But seeing such a beautiful spot go bad because people didn’t have the money to keep up a place people barely went to is sad.
i agree. im the same. never wanna be inside but every silly person i have come in contact with (weather they turn out friend or foe) just wants to text never visit r have a day out. always lets play this or lets watch that. i hate this new non functioning world. aghg take me away now lord!! i dont belong here, i need human interaction.
Mine did it’s called Stratford mall in Illinois the place once thrived and people with smiles on their faces said it all. But once covid hit they got swept under the rug some stores tried to stay in business even though the rest of the mall was closed. But they didn’t last too long the building and parking lot still stand but it is blocked from the public. rip Stratford mall 😢

So sad to see this reality that's happening everywhere and in every state I personally always love going to the mall to get out the house and look at stuff in person but I know times have changed people are more busy working they don't have the time to just go anywhere so it's easier to order online
The mall near me was on the ropes but then they were able to bring in a call center and let some turn into an event center for parties, weddings, conferences, etc. Makes me glad because I had so many great memories there.
How about converting old malls into a safe place for people with dementia. It could contain everything they need: barbershops, doctor’s office, dentist, drug store…. All handicap accessible with elevators included.
That mall used to be awesome in the early 80s. But thanks to little teen jagoffs trying to be in gangs, good people eventually had enough of it by the 90s. I’m surprised the mall stayed open as long as it did.
Bring it TYLER MALL in Riverside CA sells counterfeit perfume, cologne,shoes and purses and basically it's a junkie mall now,with no high end department stores ,it's basically a junk shop with overpriced movie theater and food court
There is very little malls left in America. I remember reading Seymour used to be the number one. Hangout when I was in high school. Now it's pretty much empty. I say to carry it down and build affordable apartments. For people who live there, we need more avoidable apartments for people who live, and they shouldn't have to kill themselves. Just to pay the rent, it should be affordable. And then people will live there and if you make it. Now it's infordable. These people will try their best to take care of that properly so we could be there for the next 4 years and 50 to 60 years. That's what we need more in Jacksonville, Florida, it's more affordable apartments. Houses condos employees for people to live mill class in the poor needs a lot is to live that are affordable. You're one better than an apartment. Should not cost a $1000 a month? That's ridiculous.
I think everyone knows that already, and it’s not that we don’t like to say where we are, we don’t mention personal details of certain places we visit for privacy and safety reasons for both us, anyone else and the place itself. That was not the case with this place.
@matt04eldorado76 it is being demolished soon people voted for it to be demolished. That's one if the reasons the covered like all the entrances roads near it
Why do jackasses have to always go in and destroy places? Why not just go in and enjoy yourself. Have fun... bring friends... The things you could do in a place like that without destroying it are endless... Such tiny little minds.
How can the biggest store in America close down. Imagine the amount of money they made. But sad because everyone who owned a store lost their business and job.
Century III , loved this place, west Mifflin pa. Was fantastic to grow up with , jc penny was the last forced to leave. Such a waste and shame. Every store you could think of.
Century 3!!! That was one of the best malls of the 70s 80s and 90s if you were from the Pittsburg area. It was ginormous, and really had no chance of surviving after South Hills became the main mall in south Pittsburgh and suburban development shifted away from the area.
My mall sucks. Its filled with parentless teenagers who cause trouble. The police are constanrly there cuz teens are either vandalising something or causinf huge fights. I remember when it was fun going to rhe mall.:(
My local mall just recently opened, like less than a year ago, before that I didn’t have a local mall. I could feel the people who’s local malls closed 🫡
This was my childhood mail actually . It’s Century 3 right outside of Pittsburgh, PA. When I was a kid, this was the place to be and It was really amazing to see around the holidays. It’s just crazy how it declined so fast
Sa America nagsisipagclose ng malls while sa Pilipinas na third world country eh ayu nagpapatayuan ng mga malls. At ang dami dami pa. Recently lang ay ang IKEA. Ano kaya ang dahilan?
Bro, every kind of mall that’s really big looks like the mall with the big statue watch that video. The statue is really scary and it’s in rec room two
If this is the superstition mall… it is my local mall. I used to go there every other month on a weekend with my mom and get candy and ride electronic stuffed animals around almost always crashing into people😂, I got my childhood security item there, a green tiger bear named greenie that I’ve had until I turned 12 and it went missing and we moved to a different part of gilder and we no longer go there. It’s sad to see that place get demolished and it being so bare.
All these people complaining about malls shutting down are the same people who haven't been to a mall in almost a decade and just buy everything online.
Its subject to vandalism??? Its a hunk of junk sitting there!. That's vandalism enough since they haven't torn it down and put use to the space with something else instead.
This was/is my mall that closed. Ik that there is a mine shaft under it but they should re-build it. Also google says it's the 2nd largest abandoned mall
I remember when going to the Mall was the thing to do. Kind of sad to see those times fade away!

Why can't something like this be converted to housing for the homeless...there should not be any homeless in America at all

Same. Grew up in Turtle Creek and we used to come here when we were sick of Monroeville
