Fun to see old familiar mall being out of town for many months old memories

We went to St Cloud frequently when I was growing up. We stopped at this mall in its heyday in the mid 80's. You should have seen it then...it was occupied by actual stores. I remember Hallmark, Chuck E Cheese, Old Country Buffet, etc. It was super crowded the day we were there.

This and CJ Barrymore's are what put Hall road on the map. It's a shame they didn't preserve Lakeside. It started going down during the 2010s. Had the shut down scams never happened, it might still be around today even with the terrible management.

great mall vids

Worked at Tradehome Shoes in that mall back in the mid 80s for a couple years while in college. It was pretty dead even then. Biggest problem was that 15 minutes away was Miller Hill Mall in Duluth which was bigger and unlike WI, MN doesn’t tax any clothing.

History time so before this mall was built there was a mall close to downtown faribault called faribo plaza now called faribo town square used for retail spaces so when the high way was made it stopped people from passing to faribo plaza so they decided to build faribo West Mall in the 70s but when Walmart wanted to separate their store from the mall, people went to Walmart instead of the mall for things and ever since then it’s been struggling with getting tenants the Maurices which was the last remaining original store within the mall from when it opened has recently closed now just Mom and pop shops and a 19 to 21 Program called step in the previous JCpenny they even have a daycare place in there called child’s delight too Through the tendance are owned by the same attendant with a Mexican market, restaurant, and new bakery

That Sears Hometown storefront at 9:41 is awe-inspiring vintage. I love this place so much, just wish this place's sister Pine Tree mall wasn't getting de-malled as we speak. Great footage and documentation!

What are the songs in the video?

Nice video man! This place truly fits the definition of a "dead mall."

Awesome! Looks like most of the rural malls from WV and up through the rust belt!

Definitely still has that fabulous 80s vibe. The circular poster frames outside the theater are wonderful! Thanks for bringing us along!

fantastic look back at what was and will never be again. you can argue it lasted until 1995. Social media and the IPh0ne, our downfall. When i was living in the 80's, I had no idea they were the last years of the empire.

Amazing Video Evan!! Love it when vintage malls like this can manage to get new life in a different form, and avoid being demolished.

is there anything open in that place?

Folks in Roanoke, Va are like ???🤨

Thanks for filming. Saw you on the last livestream with NorthCDogg22! I think you have great content.

I just saw a news clip pop up the mall was closed for a few days last week. Of course no reason mentioned… Seems like KOHAN is doing what they normally do. Sad to see the tenants have to put up with this. 😢😢😢

These videos are depressing yet haunting. These malls were packed with people in the 90s and now most are utter ghost towns. Sad.

What state is this valley view mall in?

Used to come to this mall in the 80's/90's, when I got done with classes from WWTC would drive over to the mall and spend some time window shopping. Getting my NES from Kay*Bee toy store when they first came out in the mid 80's. Usually was so dark in the hallways from what I remember, and not much of a Cafe Court, rarely ate there. Think Barnes & Noble Bookstore is the only thing I would go to in recent years.

In SILENT HILL , most things are named LAKEVIEW , LAKESIDE , Could I reupload Re edit clips of this ? I’ll credit your page no sweat .

Where is this mall

I get it that we buy a lot of stuff online nowadays, but I am surprised that humans aren’t still instinctively attracted to the mall experience anymore. We still crave social interaction and we still like to buy stuff.

beautiful mall. they will come back

I wonder if the workers at Kay and Zales have a rivalry, being right across from each other and all. Great video!

Amazing video man! I told you that song would be perfect for the opening sequence!

I really would love to get up here one day! Thanks for covering it!!

Awesome Video Man! This place looks awesome, and I hope it can stick around for a while.

Absolutely Amazing Work Evan!! This video was a great way to say goodbye to Lakeside. The music fits the ambiance so well!!!!

Amazing Video Man!!

I'm 44 years old and when I was a kid we referred to it as the "old mall." When the Iron Gate Mall was busy this mall wasn't much more than what you see today.

Hibbing Minnesota. I use to go walk around here when I was a younger. my grandmas apartment was just on the other side of the hill from it.

I used to work at the GAP from 1997, from 2000. After that, walden books; then represented BMI at Lord and Taylor, this was all before 2003. I remember not being able to find a close parking spot, the mall flooded with customers during the holiday season. In 1999, while working at the GAP, a customer wanted to buy the "crazy striped sweater" off my back because it was so popular. Banana Republic right above us...I made friends with one of their associates and we helped them out. Abercrombie and Fitch next door...We'd hit Panera for breakfast before the opening rush, and the smell of the leather from the store by JC Penny's... buying a stuffed Jerry Bear, and CDs from the entertainment store in the Sears corridor. When I was very young, my siblings and I would want a cookie from Mrs. Fields (the smell flooded the area, in a delicious way) ...the long lines to see Santa and the Easter Bunny...the elevator with glass windows looking on to the fountains where people had thrown coins...I wonder what the total amount was when the pool was drained? From someone who grew up in the '90s thanks for the memories of my first taste of independence.

Nice video man!

That's such a cool postcard, holding it up at the begining was really poetic. I love the stories of sister malls like these, its a shame Mesabi mall died so quickly compared to its sister though. Great video!

Thunderbird! I thought this was a non-alcoholic channel!! 😂

Dude! Slippin in the Doobie Brothers “what a fool believes” Muzak! Nice choice!! 🎉🎉🎉 Even without the vocals, we can hear Michael McDonald!

Those seating and plant areas are awesome! They look like toddler playpens! 😂😂😂

Wasabi Mall is quite spicy! 😂

I’m glad I took my son there he liked the escalators

A quiet day at an abandoned South Rigde Mall. . Now my question is where is this mall located that’s what I want to know.

Thank you so much for posting this! I would have liked to have gone through here myself, but felt that I would get too sad. Would love to see another video like this at Lakeside but with 1980's or 90's footage.. prior to even the food court being built (which to me, is still fairly new). Similar to what @vampirerobot has for other malls on their channel. Again, thank you!

Is this vallco mall in Cupertino

I wonder how long the Ace hardware store has been there?

One of my childhood memories.... lakeside and Oakland mall.

My favorite mall to go to,went last week for one final goodbye. So long lakeside😢

Sadly, I remember when this Mall opened up - along with it's sister/twin Fairlane Mall. With a bunch of fanfare and there were TV commercials all the time. Fairlane used to have an elevated tram that ran between the mall and the Hotel across the parking lot. Now, both are just sad ghosts.

Gone now

Nice video man and thx for the shoutout!
