Back in the early 80s, when Atari released Pac-Man for the 2600, my dad had to drive all the way across Houston to the Sears store at Greens point to get a copy as it was sold out everywhere else. I was super happy until I got home and played it. Never went back to that mall again.
20:02 behind that metal door, they store the old jungle gym/playground. It is a small room, totally intact playground. Lots of memories from my childhood. I went in there once, but they've since locked it from the inside
Worked there and shopped there in the 70/80s, Wouldn't fly over it in a Gun Ship now. It should be converted into a Correctional facility./ JAIL Plenty of Local customers.
This is really good footage a of what is likely the last year of Greenspoint mall. This mall really deteriorated fast. I remember watching a facebook live of a news anchor walking around in the mall in 2020 and it was in okay shape back then.
From was once a nice, clean, & popular shopping destination to an abandoned building. I'm sure they're going to demolish it like they did the San Jacinto Mall over in Baytown, TX.
Damn I used to do that at least once a month wake up 5am roll up a blunt hop in my 98 Buick Regal gs supercharge on 20 inch blades and cop a new pair of jays holla at females . Man so many memories! Georgeios was the spot for clothes or Urban Legends. Music Depot next to the Foleys across from the star shots where all the fine girls would go take their glamorous shots! So many great memories! End of a great time . I’m officially old lol!
Omg! I’ve been so shy to ask as I always assume it’s a NO but this finally gave me the courage to do so. I’ve been wanting to explore the abandoned areas of this mall forever!
@@nationdecayI’m lowkey sad about that since I never got to explore the abandoned parts I wonder where the former bath and body works store was and what was that Princeton’s store I’m curious on what’s behind that old store front
@@soullessprincess6473 I went today, and was told the same. Security wouldn’t give me a tour, though. Said homeless people sneak into the place and it could be dangerous plus there was mold. We did have a good chat though, as he had been going there since its prime. Oh well, I’m glad I tried at least. Sad day, though.
@@bugluvr22 the place aways smelled of mold I’m surprised it stayed open this long is the fitness connection going to stay open or is it going to be closed to I’ve aways wanted to see if there was any traces of the department store that used to be there
Did some research and looks like the old theater was absorbed into the new theater. I found some real estate plans online and the limits of the old theater are in the new theater boundaries except the old lobby.
Did they find a way to get into the old original movie theater, General Cinema 5 which down from the new theater that was built. wonder if that service hall on the left from the entrance of the new theater could take you to the old theater.
I think it’s through the back halls and it’s hidden behind a wall but someone said they went there once around 15 years ago and everything was intact the screens and chairs but extremely moldy I would love to see it tho
@@soullessprincess6473 I know it would be so interesting to explore and check how it is now sitting abandoned for almost 30 years. I wonder if everything is still intact. It is probably way more moldy and have to wear a respirator now. See a place frozen in the 90s. I wish someone had pictures of that old theater back then or even now.
I don’t believe it’s in tact anymore. I’m pretty sure that entire section of the building was demolished but I’m not sure. There was a large area covered by drywall but I didn’t realize the possibility that it could be back there at the time.
@@nationdecay it was where the advertisement for the newer movie theater was where the glass was 13:55 that’s where the old movie theater was it closed in 1998 it’s possible to get in but the door in the service halls might be bolted shut or the doorknob might be broken as a lot of the old doorknobs no longer work
@@Jman12678 ikr it’s probably dangerous levels of mold just hidden behind a wall the power definitely wouldn’t work in there i read that it suddenly closed in 1998 no one knows why
How were you able to get there with security? I was able to go into the wing with the movie theater, but there was a lot of activity with shipments and someone moving things through the mall. The food court barricade was also being watched by a guard
@@MnemonicHeadTrip wait when was that? I have never seen security guards or had problems with exploring the mall. Maybe it was just a slow day and I got lucky. It was probably like a Tuesday around 6pm. But even last year and the year before when I explored I’d never seen any security
@@jamilet444 it was around 5 months ago so maybe I just went at a bad time. He was super rude to me and questioned why I was looking around and told me “it’s just a mall.” I only saw the outside of the movie theater inside of the mall, I didn’t go into any employee tunnels because there were shipments of some kind being moved around. Is there a way to get into the main part of the mall besides the public entrance? It looks like the door was just open to one of the department stores in this video, but I don’t think it connects to the rest of the building. Someone also mentioned that you can supposedly get in through the roof, and I did see open doors on the roof with google maps so
@MnemonicHeadTrip you have to go in through the abandoned Macys with the open door in the back and then go on the roof. The entrance into the mall is barricaded off
I have several pairs of patent leather Jordan’s lol 😂. I was in law school when they first came out, so I couldn’t afford them. Now I have over 400 pairs of shoes
@@agoogleuser704 I have a racks in bedroom closet where I put my shoes. They all still in its original box, some of them I only wore once or some I never wore at all. I have a pair of Travis Scott shoes with Gucci and they’re worth over $3,000 worn but in good condition and $5,000 brand new never worn with OG box
News clip: Oh yeah, I remember that. So many little ones got ammonia. Fortunately the the kids were able to sell it to SC Johnson for use in cleaning supplies.
Great footage. You cured security's boredom and got a good tour.
Good to see this pop up on my feed. I haven't seen you in a while. Hope all is well!

Cool how security gave you a tour. I wish more security was awesome like that.
That CDM Boxing used to be a Tilt Arcade room.

When did the playground close also do you know what that princetons store is I’ve aways wondered and when did the playground close
"What if your child get ammonia" 🤣

Officially closed on june 30, They are going to build affordable apartments there and try to revitalize the area. Good luck!

Oh that makes sense why I see apartment like buildings in the parking lot.
The area probably needs more industrial/warehouse buildings with great security

Greenspoint is commonly known by the nickname of “Gunpoint”.

Love the imagery this gave me. Nostalgia

It’s closing this week better go there while you still can and see what’s left
@soullessprincess6473 they announced the closure!

How is this place not condemned?
Thanks, gave me nostalgia for my mall back home. 😮
That place is HUGE!

Can you link them?
@@nationdecay look at floorplan map, the notch on premier cinemas is the old theater.

I remember that day when the lines were crazy for those Concord 11s. End of an era 🤣🤣
Bro stumbled upon a backrooms level
So cool. I just went back there in those sections last week

@@MnemonicHeadTrip you got inside the movie theater? Or just in the employee tunnel?
