man, i love watching videos about malls, it's so interesting how they're completely packed at one point then the years go by and they just get closed down or near being closed down

I’m glad you enjoy these kind of videos, more coming soon! When I think back to how they used to be on top of the world at one point in time now they’re just a shell of what was something popular.

The lost world Jurassic Park

Lakeside is sooo eerie. Parts of Macomb too. It’s pretty sad. The only one that’s busy nearby is Somerset… I guess only rich people can afford to shop for fun in this economy?? Or maybe it’s a social thing. Who knows.

Yeah my parents have photos from its hay day, sad seeing what it was and where it’s at now! Just have to remember it how it once was!

Spoiler alert: Every mall in America looks like this.

No not really, there’s one in Auburn Hills, MI. Great Lakes crossing outlets. That one’s decently busy. There’s one down the road from this mall called Partridge Creek Mall, that one is decently busy. Have a great day though!

@@Just-ZacBut other than those two, it seems like ALL THE MALLS in the Detroit metro-area are all pretty much dead or gone (much like most of Detroit is, I guess...) Which is sad because one of the malls _[Northland Center]_ was actually considered the first modern suburban shopping mall in the nation when it opened ALL THE WAY BACK in 1954; and was also Victor Guren's first gig or shopping center he ever designed. He (Guren) also designed Southdale Center, the first fully-enclosed regional/mega mall, in the nation that opened back in 1956; which may ALSO be the oldest currently still operating (with maybe the exception of _Cross Country Center_ in Yonkers, NY and a couple other minor ones; but that's an open-air center).

@@Just-ZacAlso more to add to this comment: I think Partridge Creek Mall (despite it being an open-air mall) is kinda struggling a bit as well lately. They already lost two major anchor tenants a couple years ago; but at least they're trying their best to stay afloat. I wish I could have said the same thing about this one in the video...

That’s because Detroit as a city is dead. Woodfield in Schaumburg IL is buzzing, Oakbrook Mall buzzing. Lots of Chicagoland malls still packed

Went downhill since they shut down the carousel

Just another dead mall. Nothing new. All malls used to be packed but no more. I never liked malls. Just went top the major department stores and not inside much.

Are there any anchor stores left on a mall near you? I saw a JCPenny today and I was taken back for minute lol.
