Hey everyone! This video is BLOWING UP...and I'm overwhelmed by the number of comments you've left! I read every single one. Share this video out on social media if you enjoyed it!

Crazy I remember being 14 and shopping at this mall by myself for the first time. I felt so grown up. "The Mall" is where every kid wanted to be or coming from. So sad

This video feels like the perfect send-off for Akron’s middle child mall. A slightly hectic but graceful ending.

Most kids will never know the joy of a Friday night cruising the mall

I'm 57 yrs old and been going here ALL my life.... how sad. Thanks for the memories Chapel Hill Mall... rip Archie the snowman. 🥺

I appreciate the hopeful tone towards the future, and your proper use of Akronites. I'm glad you got to see it before it closed. My video is forthcoming on the last year of the mall. You were right about the nostalgic/sad vibe of the day, it was very sad but not surprising. You did it justice, I give you a standing ovation!

As someone who grew up with mall from opening day, its almost like a death in the family. Glad it's being repurposed and I hope the new facility will include some restaurants for new employees and a the public. I'm glad the carousel will be relocated to downtown Akron where it can be enjoyed by a new generation. I have such wonderful memories from many years.

There used to be a Brown Derby restaurant in the mall. Loooooong before the food court was added. Good times. Great video! Thanks for making it.

What i loved about the 70's and 80's..We never said ''There is nothing to do'' Always had the mall

This is really sad to see I’ve now seen two malls just die first Rolling Acres and now Chapel Hill. Watching this has brought back so many memories. Sad to see it’s now gone.😔

I met my wife at the Chapel Hill JCPenney. We were both employees. We’re sad to see it go as we have so many good memories there.

i am 60 and grew up walking and shopping in this mall. RIP Chapel Hill Mall - thank you for all the holiday and fun memories.

Fuck man, that hurts. i can remember almost every Christmas spent there and the neighboring stores as a kid. Its really sad to me that my son will never get to have those experiences like toys r us. Thanks for the great video.

This was the closest mall to us and a Big Thing when it opened. Every store was full and it always had people in it. School clothes every fall, Christmas shopping was Special back then, a real experience, the whole family went.

My happiest memory of this place is seeing “Jaws” at the huge cinema there in the summer of 1975 with my brother and a gaggle of neighborhood teens. RIP, Chapel Hill.😭

This mall was a big part of my childhood. We used to kind of get dressed up to go ‘n all. An overall awesome experience.

Weird this video made me tear up. I’m glad Lock 3 was able to save Archie and the carousel. Reminds me of my late grandparents taking me there during my childhood.

Thank you for making this video. I’ve not gotten closure over the loss of this mall, as it has been with me since childhood through my adult years, until now. I appreciate the time you took to film everything slowly and give its history for those of us that will truly miss it and the memories we have here. ♥️

Thank you for the long drives you make to film these malls. You give people a chance to re-live their happy memories. It's sad that the malls are dying, but we all know it's our own fault. Malls were such a big (and enjoyable) part of our lives. It's a tragic sense of loss when they die.

I slowly see things from my childhood disappearing first rolling acres now chapel hill mall . Kids today will never know how wonderful the mall was
