Jesus Dan, this place is horrifying ...
Oh my gosh I remember going to that toys are us and riding on those cars in that area i do remember that mall always being dark in the inside even when open (2010s)

Man I remember the yum yum bar. I swore this place was amazing when I was a kid. Now I’m like wtf lol 😂
I live out there in 08 good times
every episode is my favorite episode
The mist is the ghosts of pizzas past. 😂
Everytime I see Rolling Acres, I wonder if Lebron ever shopped at the foot locker. I like how they never renovated it and has the old sports photos on the wall.
The Layout of this mall reminds me so much of the Toronto Eatons Center. Even down to it being attached to a station.
Maybe it's just me, but there are four names that I think of in regards to "Dead Malls": Macy's, JC Penney, Sears and Payless Shoes...
Also GNC store, Bed & Body Works and Nail/Beauty salon.
They really didn't research the demographics back in the day. The Mondawmin mall was a beautiful mall just in an area that was not desirable.
Loved this mall as a kid they have it all blocked off now from the entrance shown in this video with a huge false wall.
I worked in Philly for about a decade and remember the gallery at its peak in the '90s. It was impressive.
9:47 you can hear a woman go "Who is it?"
Was Rolling Acres the only dead mall in America? It sure seems a popular one with all the videos done on it.
That's crazy to think we still have that Motorola razr today in 2024. It came a long way from looking like that to being a smartphone model that it is today. Just think shoppers back then at that mall were shopping for the Motorola razr and shoppers today at your local mall right now 2024 can still shop for that same Motorola razr smartphone edition 4:10
Realizing this must of been the mall I had to run into to buy a new pair of jeans in 2000. I was visiting the area for the week working for my cousin's hydrogeology consulting business. My job for that week to tromp around the woods in all random places as safety backup for the actual geologist working for her (way before cell phones actually had coverage). Tore my jeans to bits plowing through brush. Walked into the store with destroyed pants, walked out in the pants I bought and asked them to throw away the old ones. This was completely novel for the girls working there.😆
Omg, it's still here with stores open and a fountain running! Yet in reality it's currently being demolished. Actually it's probably gone as you're reading this. Yes, specifically you.

I tend to watch more of Dan Bells videos from 7-8 years ago. Why? To get a last glimpse of what shopping malls were like when the malls were still open and had a few stores still open. It’s sad that smart phones didn’t exist in the 80s and 90s because there is woefully scant footage of these malls back when they were thriving. You needed an actual video recorder back then and they were expensive and cumbersome. Most of the footage you can dig up from the 80s and 90s are either from old commercials or still photos. Nobody did film recordings of a mall back then in the form of a documentary of the mall. I suppose it’s because back then nobody contemplated that malls would be dying en masse one day. If there was a mall near where I lived that wasn’t a pain to get to I would shop there, but that isn’t the case. The closest mall for me is 30-40 minutes away. Not because of distance but because of traffic. So I don’t shop at my nearest mall because I don’t wish to spend half the day just to do that. Online shopping isn’t what killed malls. Horrible planning by state and local governments allowing roads going to the mall to get too congested is really what has killed them. Americans simply have less time and money than they did decades ago. People have moved away from congested areas and thus away from malls. Media blaming online shopping is a cop out and cover for irresponsible and corrupt local and state governments as well as cover for corporate America shipping American manufacturing jobs overseas. They’ve given Americans no choice but to either shop online or get cheap crappy products from their local Walmart.
In 2017 I was doing a contract job in Washington DC and lived in Alexandria, Va. I had seen Landmark mall from the highway going past it and it looked huge so I thought I’d go check it out. I had not seen any dead mall videos at that time and was completely unaware about how malls were dying all around the nation. The only place open was the Sears and the rest of the mall was closed. I was absolutely shocked. This huge mall right off a busy highway in a densely populated Washington DC area that was dead. It was absolutely surreal and this was when I first became aware that malls were dying. It was a bit depressing. I was hoping to see a big beautiful mall. I didn’t understand how this could happen.
9:10 Arby’s.
great work mr bell although i would've loved even more if it wasn't for those very very rude people from WTAE that you decided to put on this video! but on the other hand thanks for the tour. my rating 6.5/10! I LOVE ENDANGERED MALLS!!!!
Demolition of the mall has been ongoing for a while now. Sad.
Please omit the cruncing glass sounds 🎉 I love everything you do! It's just a me problem! Eames chairs are phenomenal! I love you 💞
Pittsburgh's biggest mall
How did his cam work when he stepped in front of it
What is remastered?
Old video footage but great stuff I can’t believe the mall closed in 2019 been 5 years
I REALLY MISS GOING TO LOCAL MALL, FOR ME IT WAS/IS GURNEE MILLS IN GURNEE, ILLINOIS. IT'S A SUBERB OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
Does anyone else notice that the viewing is a little too dark? How would I adjust the lighting?
Whenever I'm struck by the nostalgia bug, I watch the Dead Mall series. Kind of my heralding into spring and summer. Abd speaking of ferling nostalgic, I'll never forget driving down the road and hearing the announcer on the radio saying Wards woukd officially be no more. When they mentioned that MW had been in business for over a century, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Surreal moment.
Thank you so much for this video. I met my husband when I worked at Bath & Body Works and he worked at Gold Buyers at the Mall in 2012 and I just never thought to capture photos or videos inside before we moved away and before it closed. Now I can always come back to it. Thank you again.
That’s amazing! Also, and you may or may not be aware of this, but they are now officially demolishing the mall.

I wonder what that music in the beginning was ? I’ve heard it before somewhere .
In 2019, following the property's demolition, it was rumored that Amazon planned to develop a distribution facility on the site of the former mall. On July 22, 2019, a statement was issued by the city of Akron that Amazon had officially acquired the land. Construction on the new distribution center began in September. Approximately 1,500 jobs were to become available when construction was completed. The center opened on November 1, 2020.
Dan , This Mall is finally being torn down as of 3/26/24 . You might want to keep an eye out for future videos !
Seems more like a slow mall than a “dead” mall.
Owings Mills is nice and boring mall. Owings mills mall needs some pizzas
DAWN of the DEAD
I love the use of the music also used int he Dawn of the Dead mall MUZAK
Best into ever❤
Walmart pulled out. We got a Lowes, Costco, Burlington, Homesense and some others. It was a beautiful mall.
It different now 3/2024. Brand new movie theater. Bowling Alley is coming soon. There is talk of getting skating ring and go carts.
Was out Lakeforest Mall too. Dead!
Always nails the door opener
Dang. I'm from Fairmont but I haven't been there since 2011, and it's funny to see the most random stores that are hanging on... That high roller lounge, subway, Regis, and d&s collectables have been there since at least 2008! How the heck have they specifically survived, I wonder?
8:10 i've been trying to find out what that song is called
Nice remastered video. The video SAL has on this location gives some more information, on top if the good info Dan gives in this one.
Dan Bell should do a video on the Northtown Mall in Spokane Washington
