I vomited in my mouth when I saw George Bush.
It was a such a great hotel and a wonderful place to stay. It broke my heart when they tore it down. In its brief period in Columbus, it became a landmark.
NLE look bout high as hell
City Center was far from “Doomed from the beginning”. You’re uneducated. The gang shooting on the escalator ended City Center. Poor synapses.
Before all the ghetto trash shot up the city.
shoutout @columbusbrewingcompany for keeping jacobs hands full
One of best place they could have ever done for the city. I’m glad I took part in working at the City Center…. Music Land⏰❤🎶🎶🎶
It was a beautiful mall !❤️
Ah the Village People logo
This video is a bonafide piece of Columbus history. I need to save it.
The house prices and rent prices killed me 💔
Yeah this was a terrible loss for the city. As a kid, it was more recognizable to me than the LeVeque tower was. I miss it and it would fit in so well now, which just makes it hurt even more. I am honestly surprised a developer hasn't yet done a recreation of it on some sort of scale, or at least built something with a sizable circular structure which seems like it would be easier to do today than it was back then.
I think it's more accurate to say downtown is recovering. The rest of the city is just growing and expanding its cookie-cutter self further and further out. As a lifelong Central Ohio resident who has been living downtown for over a decade now, I would agree that downtown had been in "recovery" mode for a while, but is moving beyond that now. I am also very glad I escaped the boring hell of suburbia for a much more vibrant neighborhood that continues to grow.
I think I am one of the few folks who actually think City Center was good for downtown, and it's also good that it's no longer here. As a young adult when it opened I liked it, and I hated my neighborhood mall. It just felt different to go downtown and I liked that. Malls in general are not really very useful anymore, but this one brought me downtown and made me appreciate it as more than just a place to go for a school field trip. I now live downtown and Columbus Commons is much more useful for me than a mall would be, so I think, even though its lifespan was short, it was a net positive for the downtown and the city as a whole. I do kind of wish they could have somehow worked in the old Centrum roller skating rink (City Center's precursor) into the plan, but if I'm totally honest the days of that being popular are long gone too.
God I remember all of this. The first game was so much fun!
If only fans were allowed to storm the pitch like that nowadays.
We need more videos like this! For every MLS team.
Holy shit, my parents house is at the 6:57 mark

Columbus, like so many other large cities, tried for 30 years to not just get people to move downtown but to get them to stay downtown after work. Then also go back down on the weekends. It is and will always be a suburb city. They started to have a gang problem too. I believe there was a shooting in the mall.
I worked at Max and Erma's there from 93 to 97. coming from a small town, 23 yrs. old, that place was magical. I made life long friends there from the boulevard and spinnakers! used to run the wrong way up and down the escalators after hours. and run through the back halls, usually totally intoxicated. God I miss the 90s!
City Center was a neat idea, and there's little doubt it extended the life of the downtown flagship Lazarus store by at least 15 years. Walling it completely off from the outside (other than the anchors, Spinnakers and Max & Ermas), and losing all of its anchors (one to bankruptcy and two to Macy's) hurt it from an optics standpoint, but Tuttle, Polaris, and Easton were what really did it in. When it opened, City Center offered high end stores and boutiques that couldn't be found anywhere else, so people *had* to go there to shop at them. Once luxury retailers opened along the outerbelt and frightened suburbanites didn't have to go downtown to get them, City Center was doomed.
I only know about this building because a friend who is into architecture posted it on FB. When researching it, I discovered your video. Sad, truly. You need to work in a clip of The Pretenders, "My City Was Gone": "My city had been pulled down Reduced to parking spaces; A, o, way to go Ohio".
I watched a 20 min video on city center before and I swear I got better info from this vid js
Just Subscribed! Just move to Columbus, from Minnesota and I have to say living downtown Columbus, rent wise is way cheaper than What I use to pay back In Minneapolis.
Great job. Too 🤣.
Man, that's an ambitious project.
Born and raised in Minerva park, even our nice neighborhood turned to be very dangerous.its all low paying jobs.quality of life is horrible.
Columbus could learn alot from Cleveland in the public transit department downtown Cleveland is already at 20,000 and is projected to grow to 30,000
We all know why it went downhill
Menacing gang types hanging around there starting later in the 90s is what scared my mother away from it, FWIW.
@@ivanrorick Unfortunately this is happening in all cities
Vote red❤
@@sidney2900Red cities have high crime rates too. Check reliable sources and not your personal opinion. We've voted red and got crap. Time for a change
why is 69 in your background
20 years ago Columbus was a nice place. Somewhat slower, easy to get around, Easton was nice to go to. Now since about 2010-15 it's just turned into complete trash. Urban decay everywhere, crime is rampant, just clubs and drugs and lawlessness. Traffic is unbearable and not worth living here. Black on black crime is hilariously bad. 6 black people just shot yesterday alone. It's just a money grab now of hipster nurses supporting local bars on their off days and exploitation for money.
They should have kept that building up! Reminds me of something from The Jetsons! That looked awesome.
I couldn't agree more. If I could help rebuild it, I could retire happy
I used to go here growing up and worked in the commons until recently. I would have to say the comment below is right. The mall never felt connected to the city it felt like you went inside a different area. The city has also become a haven for the new gen Z liberalism that has basically fuelled online shopping and reduced inner Columbus into a crime ridden dump of the well to do and desolate with no real middle. As with all things greed has destroyed this place. Even the suburbs have been overrun by fatherless wild animals and gangs. I fear we are about to become a second Chicago.
Love your videos, I'm from here but I'm leaning so much and I'm only 2 videos in. You're efforts are appreciated 🙏🏾
hey thanks! more to come in Jan!
I was a TV News reporter at WBNS-TV in the 1980's and covered all the stuff that led up to City Center. It was never built right. It did not interact with with the downtown. They tore down the coolest thing, the Ice Rink on High St. Had that been connected to City Center it would have made a big different. At least the park they have now is a nice replacement.
OMG thank you! That Ice rink was THE BEST.
The ice rink was dumb.
I think it's important to talk about these issues within the context of civil rights and the "white flight" that occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. When we say it's a "recovering city" you mean from white people fleeing racial integration. Will the downtown recovery benefit ALL? Is there a diverse population that will buy 500k condos downtown? As someone from Columbus I sure hope so.
Well spoken, but no. Lol I think we tried but the integration hasn't gone well and everything downtown and outward is decaying despite efforts.
Building the mall "inward" and closing it off from the surrounding streets was a huge mistake. I recall the only windows were on the High St. entrance and even those were under the giant walkway which made for a very dark entrance. Jacoboson's closing was the first big setback and the mall just never recovered. Lazarus closing in '04 and then Marshall Field's going from Kaufman's then briefly to Macy's before closing did not help things. It's replacement, Columbus Commons, is a huge example of Columbus leaders having no idea what to do so they just tear everything down and make it a soccer field.
Honestly, I thought Columbus Commons was going to be a disaster, but it's actually worked out pretty well. There's a bandstand with concerts, they do movie nights, host festivals, and there's housing along the sides. I had expected a wasteland, but it's pretty vibrant in the summer.
@@jackobora3193 I moved away before City Center was demolished but I've been back several times for Christmas so I've seen Columbus Commons and it looks nice but I''ve never seen it during it's prime use season. I think they could've incorporated more features & activities like Maggie Daley park in Chicago though.
Malls are ALWAYS built facing inward. If anything, the City Centre Mall showed what could be done in the downtown. It's existence wasnt.meant to be permanent but to get the area to its next incarnation. Now, with all these residential.towers being constructed, space for a ll would be problematic. Online shopping has taken a huge bite from brick and mortar stores. Retail will always go where land is cheap and access is easy. Land is expensive downtown and parking a "situation" even with multiple parking structures about the area.
Cool l appreciate you for that very good presentation. I moved to the central Ohio area 40 years ago. When you said Columbus was not growing I was trying to wrap my head around that. But in the end you did a great job and I thank you for it
Part of the issue is when the City Center Mall was sold to another company sometime late 1990's or early 2000's. The security budget was slashed to almost nothing. You can't run an inner city mall and not protect the people shopping.
The house prices in Arlington are killing me😑 I know pay was way lower.. but damn
Downtown Columbus needs an additional node. The city keeps on throwing all its eggs at the arena/convention center in order to get it to the next tier of conventions/occupation. I find the commons to be a seasonal waste for the amount of acreage... They need to build an additional convention center node over the commons, make it architecturally appealing, unique, open air, I don't care. The hotel infrastructure is already there, and the development would be a mainline fast pass to rapid development and options. I've lived in my condo "uptown" for almost a decade, and it's boring as hell to walk downtown. The city needs a convention center part deux.
downtown has received way too much attention from city hall time for the rest of the city to benefit from city cash
stop with this Cbus stupidity. downtown is not the only part of Columbus.
I would love to see more bridges for the pedestrians. 😊😊
You guys are doing Gods work! Thank you!
This is a fun inside look at how they managed to get that beasty hanging outside the Leveque Tower. I worked in the Rhodes Office Tower at the time, on a floor that was pretty much level with the installation, so I had a bird's eye view of the spectacle.
This is amazing (and something I've never come across before). It turns out this took place the week of Thanksgiving in 1987. Gorilla At Large (a movie I have never heard of) did pretty well in the ratings back in the 1980s. WTVN (now WSYX) showed it on June 17, 1982 and it did an 18 rating (44 share). WTVN also sold more than 285,000 pairs of 3-D for the airing (with the money going to benefit the Secret Santa Fund).
