Ha Ha! I love that old look!

Thanks for watching!

Right on, I remember the days of the late night launch parties. Sad to see Cary Town Center close; that was my childhood mall for sure. Glad to see Crabtree and Triangle still going strong it seems. Trying to capture as much as I can since I neglected Cary Town Center when it was closing. Thanks for the comment and hope you have a beautiful weekend!

I’m genuinely crushed I didn’t check out Cary Towne one last time before it was gone. To tell you the truth I didn’t find out it closed until well after it was demolished. I thought it was still standing, I remember seeing the gigantic outline of the circular mall entrance between Belk and JCPenney in 2021 driving by on Cary Towne Boulevard and saying to my mom “oh wow, I gotta check that place out!” I went to the fenced in property a couple times to get photos of what’s left upon learning what happened, not much left really. Only the old Belk anchor structure. A collection of lamps, cracked and splitting parking lot, and my favorite remnant is the mall’s old sign along Cary Towne Boulevard which still stands in the bushes. What’s crazy is, there’s literally a grass field in the shape of the mall’s profile if you look at it from above. The parking lot borders nothing. It’s insane. I got kicked off the property by a security guard the second time I went. I was caught on one of the security cameras which lines both the parking lot around and on top of the former Belk. The guy was chill about it when he drove up, said something like “just so you know, Epic Games owns the property and doesn’t want pictures or video” so I left. But I’ll probably be back to photograph a little bit more at some point. What a mistake Cary made demolishing that mall. Nearby Triangle Town Center has arguably been saved from death with small businesses. Filling a niche for some who don’t want the hustle-and-bustle of Crabtree. Triangle Town is my all-time favorite mall currently. Such a neat place, security hasn’t bothered me once for carrying my camera around inside the place.

@@garbagebanditdayz819 I actually was totally oblivious as well and didn't find out until after.. That mall sign is still there?! I shall have to go have a look. Do you have a flickr or imgur or somewhere you post pictures? I've seen some drone footy from some guy on youtube which is great! I'll go grab some pictures and see if I can avoid the security. Yea that really was a beautiful mall. Triangle is doing very well it seems! Very modern designs for sure a neat place. I was not bothered in there as well. Good to hear. Hope to see some vids/pics from ya soon! Thanks for the comment and have a great week!

@@Hypermarketed yep the sign is still sitting there in the bushes right off Cary Towne Boulevard. It looks great too, it was there as-of this past Saturday when me and my mom (she operates the camera car 🤣) drove in from Cary Towne Boulevard. Planning to go back so she can drop me off and I can stumble up the hill to photograph the sign up close. I don’t think security really cares about the sign as it’s outside the fenced in mall property. It’s practically pristine, although partially shrouded by overgrown bushes surrounding it that were planted (probably) about 10-15 years ago. Has the mall’s crown logo on top in that iconic dual brown color scheme. I’ve got an Instagram right now where I post my photos. I primarily post photos taken on my collection of Sony Mavica digital cameras (the ones that use Floppy Disks for storage). Now that you mention it, I should probably create a Flicker or Imgur to make sure my photos don’t disappear should my phone get destroyed or something lol. I’ll post photos of the sign soon enough, I can DM you too if you have questions about avoiding security if you end up going up to the fenced in area. Oh my Instagram is: mavica_moments_nonstop

It really feels like it wow! I never knew about that other entrance! You should go check it out. Very liminal.

Oh cool! I will go check it out!

Haha who knows! Maybe one of these days haha. Cannot find too much info on these little plazas except for Shoppes of Kildaire owned and managed by Regency Centers almost positive. Have a good day!

Such a serene little mall. Oldschool small town feel for sure. Yeah, I am doing the same with photos and videos. Just went back for another video last week. It was still going! Really wish the train display was working again. Thanks for watching and for your comment. Have a great week!

It is a very well kept plaza! Intriguing European plaza feel. Will go back in the summer for a contrasting view! Thanks for watching :)

Thanks for listening!

Everyday is a new day and happy for the good and bad. Wouldn't take one without the other. Happy new year!

I am fortunate to be able to walk and often don't think about that enough. Glad to be able to do this. Got out to North Hills today. Haven't been there since JCPenny was still there. Whole new high-rise in it's place, wow. It is a hoppin place! Will be uploaded tomorrow. Have a beautiful week!

Happy New Year!! 😃

Oh it has been ages since I have been up that way! I will go take a walk around and record some video! Thanks for the suggestion.

Have yet to go to Crabtree at night during Christmas so I don't quite know for sure but in the daytime, they look great! I'm going to drive through Coastal Credit Union Music Park light show and going to try to hit Dorthea Dix light show. Merry Christmas!

Getting a new camera by next month and ill see if I can go back and get some better footage. Thanks for watching!

Great suggestion! Thanks.

Yea let me take a look! I'll see when I can get out there! Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm very glad you enjoy them! I try to make them cohesive with the music. Hate to hear you are in a wheelchair but I am glad you can get something out of these videos. Will be going to check out University Mall in Chapel Hill soon to get out of town for a bit. Thanks alot for watching. Never give up.

Oh and I will now keep an extra eye out for ramps and elevators. Cheers and have a beautiful week.

Yeah, I remember that place. What a hidden gem that was. Thanks for your comment.
