This mall was packed when I was a kid in the 90s and even through the 2000s and early 2010s. They had a nice arcade in the 90s, candy store with tons of beanie babies when that was the big craze, huge lines to sit with Santa in winter… Sad that it is now a ghost town.

Note that the reason for the name "Golf Mill" was that the mall was located at the intersection of Golf Rd. and Milwaukee Ave.. The water wheel was one of my favorite places to visit as a young child.

The real OGs would remember the bowling alley that was in the parking lot by JC Penny’s.

GOLF MILL, not "MILLS". I grew up near there it was never called MILLS, EVER!!!!!

All the fun memories I had when I was younger. Eating panda express after shopping with my family. I hope this mall doesn’t die ❤

I used to go when it was open air. Shopped at Jackies Circle, Albert K, Woolworth. Vwhen I was 13 /14 years old I'd go to JCPs candy counter and get 25 cents worth of m&m's or the red died pistachios, The candy lady would scoop them into a white paper bag. I'd then go sit by the water mill and people watch. Went to the Mill Run theater now and then too.

Its so sad to see the state of it now. Growing up I remember when the theater was seperate where that workout place is now. They also had a grocery store in the backlot area.

This was one of my childhood malls. I haven't been there in forever. I live in Chicago but I don't drive. The last time I was there, I saw "Kingsmen". Wonderful video!

This video is freaking incredible bro!

Totally cool revisiting

Thinking about coming here in the fall! Hope they keep it some parts of 2025 especially the golf mill professional building with the Otis touch sensitive buttons!

The Panera Bread was to your left behind you, when you were outside by the butterfly garden.

Any idea when this mall is gonna close? Thinking of coming here in the winter.
