    19:30 My Mom used to work at liquidation world right up until it closed, They had a lot of cool stuff and I remember getting quite a few new games for incredibly cheap there. Moved away from the area so never really had a reason to come around after my mom stopped working there except for one more time in 05 I think when Sam's Goodies was closing, the next time I was ever around was about 10 years ago when I was taking a bus that came in and out of there to job corps and I had noticed a lot of the change. It's crazy to me it's all gone now, carrs included.

    I also recognize the architecture of the Rock, if I’m not mistaken in the mid 70’s it was a bar that was very happening on the weekends. Drinking age was 19 then.

    brings back memories for me as well; thanks for making this video. back in early 1990s for my first trip ever to alaska, coming from anc this was my first stop on my way to denali and fairbanks. i pulled into the mall parking lot and sat in my suv rental for an hour with my roadmap planning my route for the next few days. i recall numerous small airplanes flying directly overheard, later i would learn about the nearby airport that wasn't anc. i went into the mall to get something to eat but it wasnt like a traditional mall there were lots of crafts shops and speciality shops and the food court was different. very packed, very busy. so i went across teh street and down a couple of blocks, that same kfc was there nearby. lol

    How sad. We were stationed at Ft. Richardson in the 80s and went there often. It was a treat after a long week at school. I remember Lamonts. Kinney shoes. A locally owned bookstore called The Book Cache. The Arby's. There was a store called Its A Small World. Ice cream shops. At one point there was a Chuck E. Cheese like restaurant and video arcade. I still have a pair of pink shoes bought at Kinneys. I think the decline began with Lamonts closing in the 90s. It always begins with the anchor stores. I remember how crowded it was on Saturdays. Farewell to a once great mall.

Crazy, way too many memories man thank you for posting this

    Hi NuttyNu. Back when I was in Anchorage, the Northway Mall was active as could be. I remember the Royal Fork Buffet on Northway Drive. They had the best buffet anywhere! It was up the street from the Burger King I think. That was around 1987 I think. Did Covid close everything up there?

    • @nothingelse1520
      @nothingelse1520 3 місяці тому

      Royal Fork shut down waaaay before COVID, sometime in the early 1990s I'm pretty sure. I used to go to Royal Fork around 1987 as a kid. First Buffet I ever went too. Did you know ALL the Burger Kings in Anchorage shut down at one point?

    Holy shit man what a crazy trip down memory lane. When I was a kid we used to walk from Airport Heights down through the trailer park to the Northway mall. When I got older and got my drivers license we used to go through the same trailer park to the Northway mall. When I was a teenager me and my brother used to manage the Burger King right across from the Northway mall. I remember when they had go carts that you could rent in the parking lot of that Sam’s Club. And we used to get ice cream at the TCBY frozen yogurt right across the street. It is crazy to me how much that area has changed. Thank you brother for sharing memories with a real Alaskan.

    Back in the mid 1980s when I was in elementary school it was absolutely packed constant stream of people in and out. My siblings got their first jobs there. Even in the mid late 80s with the opening of 5th Avenue they said Northway Mall was going to die. It slowly degraded over the 1990s, Tikatnu Center really did it in

    • @juandufree4309

    When we visited the last week of September 2021, We stayed right there at the Aptel Hotel on Rodeo in front of the Home Depot. That Mall had a chinese restaurant inside the old food court. Outside access was to Planet Fitness and I believe a Burlington... That Chinese Restaurant was busy.... Wow, All I seen at the mall now is the Planet Fitness... Plenty of Pics of the mountains from that Geological Parking lot as every morning I was there was a different but beautiful view...

    I used to shop at Burlington every 2 weeks. Now that it is empty why do they not house the homeless here? We have like 2,000 homeless in Anchorage. They are not campers. I went to Centennial today where I used to camp sometimes and asked homeless people what they wanted. I work in mental health but I volunteer as much as I work. .......Most importantly it has not stopped raining for 2 months!!! They are people, some of them are nuts or addicts but don't make them sleep in the woods and fear bears as if they were animals. I was out talking to residents today. I moved from Fairview near ghetto Carrs to the Boundary area. I am concerned. Its getting quite cool, and it never stops raining.

    Definitely go inside the rock. That’d be cool.
    Why haven’t they used the Northway Mall as the homeless shelter? They’ve spent millions anyways. Seems they could of bought it out for what they’ve spent. Turn the old Pizza Hut or whatever it was last, turn that into a soup kitchen. Nice, fully contained and reasonable shelter area. Already close to the majority population of homeless.

    • @MisterBeauJanGels
      @MisterBeauJanGels Рік тому +1

      They're buying the Aptel to turn it into housing for the homeless. The mall itself supposedly is no longer up to code. The owners are sitting on it waiting for a profitable enough redevelopment proposal.
