    As a lifelong Minnesotan. Also the first person to ever experience the log ride. (My dad worked at the company who built it) I was TOTALLY enthralled with your visit to the MOA. I’ve been there more times than I can count.
    ALSO. MOST IMPORTANTLY…The greatest bar ever used to be on the 4th floor. It was called Flashbacks (or throwbacks? I’d just turned 21. I don’t remember) They had different rooms that would play 70’s, 80’s & 90’s music. It was like a wedding reception dj 24/7. Loved that place! 🥰

    Also, so many great fine dining & local places open inside. Definitely could do a whole video just on the food options alone.
    And the mall walkers are a vibe! They are serious about their walking, you do not get in the way if you are just early morning browsing. 😂

    Minnesotan here as well. So first, great video. I grew up in the north suburbs and visited the mall as a kid when it first opened. Over the years I’ve had a lot of fun there with my mom and relatives and now my kids. Don’t like going very often but it is fun once in a while. Every few years maybe. My youngest needs to experience it completely soon. Now that we live down in SE MN, it’s not as often that we are up there.
    Now, I would like to point out two things. You said you weren’t leaving until you were done. The mall was there before Radisson Blu and Radisson is attached not technically “IN” the mall. So you did leave before concluding it was alive. And second, it’s MOA. Of course it’s alive. Try out all of the other malls in the cities…some are doing ok and some aren’t what they once were. I know this was meant as a fun video and not some serious look at “are malls dying”…but come on. Click bait as hell. lol.

  • @lawrenceshdow
    @lawrenceshdow 18 днів тому

    Anyone doing things like this at the MOA should contact their PR department. They are awesome and will literally hook you up and show you some super cool stuff you would never ever know about. The Mall has more visitors a year than disney world and also at most busy times a day it has more guests than average city population.
    The control center for security and Bloomington PD is insane; they monitor thousands of cameras and cell phones sending signals as well so they literally see real time social media posts and stuff from people in the mall and it even shows where they are. They use facial recognition to read moods of guests at all the kiosks. They don't even need furnaces at the mall even though winters can be as low as forty below zero... Human heat and kitchens and such keep it warm... They have an underground area where all trash is separated and a massive recycling operation occurs.
    The PR department will often bring you back behind the scenes of all sorts of the attractions and underwater world and shit. Its pretty rad actually.

    I love malls myself, and the MOA is the granddaddy of all of them! I see a lot of fun facts being posted, fun fact, the very first indoor mall was in Minnesota!
    I loved watching this and watching the childlike amazement that you had of the mall. When I used to live near the MOA, I would love taking people there for the first time. Everyone would have that same look, especially after going to the Aquarium and after finishing one lap around the mall and reminding a person that there was 2.5 more laps with all different stores and attractions on each level! It is really sad what's happened to the 4th floor. Like a person before said, it used to have a Planet Hollywood (that turned into Dick's Last Resort, which is closed too) and a comedy club that would have shows. However, despite all of that, Hooters has been a mainstay for that 4th floor!

      @lawrenceshdow 18 днів тому +1

      Edmonton Mall is bigger and has more attractions. It's awesome! The dirty little secret though; they lose money hand over fist and the ownership group takes profits from the Mall of America to cover the losses. No big deal i guess but it annoys people at the MOA because mass lay offs have happened as a result of the money issues it causes.

    @ItsJustLisa Місяць тому

    If I’d been at the mall and seen you running around filming, I’d have offered to be your personal guide. I’ve been going there since it opened. It’s where we took our kids on Friday nights for Lego time and dinner. It’s also where they learned to really walk and could go for long walks without outerwear year round. And there’s almost always a store selling something you need in sizes that department stores might only sell online, like wide width or narrow shoes, or a physical store that is usually a catalog/magazine (LL Bean).
    When our daughter was a toddler and had her toy stroller and baby, we’d warn people with “Novice driver coming behind!” as she’d miss steering around them and hit their ankles. You’d see the mad faces melt into, “Oh, she’s so cute! Where did you find a dolly stroller?”. (She did get better at steering.). When she was done, we’d fold up her dolly stroller, pop it in the basket of her stroller and keep going.
    When our daughter was in elementary school and her brother was in preschool, Camp Snoopy (now Nickelodeon Universe) came up with annual passes. It was like a credit card that the kids would get scanned for all the rides, unlimited for a whole year. Great perk for locals like us. Before the pandemic, my husband and I would have date nights there during the week. His office was west of the mall and we live in St. Paul, so we’d meet there, have dinner and go to a movie. (The theatre was behind you, on the 4th floor, when you were snacking before going to Underwater Adventures.)

    This is my local mall, as a kid I actually thought every city had a mall at this scale but nope apparently my local mall was a special one 😅 I worked at the Mall of America for a time in their Entertainment department actually. One year I worked a late night shift in December, the day before Christmas Eve, where it was too unsafe to drive home because of a blizzard that had developed. Since I had a shift starting early the next morning on Christmas Eve, and conditions were to clear up later the next day, I was booked by my managers into the Radisson Blu to stay overnight. Easiest in-person commute of my life, not once did I go outside at all during the blizzard!

    Another fire video, saw the dollat store video by chance a couple weeks ago and had to binge the rest. Keep it up!

    I have a distinct memory of going to the mall with my dad and older brother when I was younger, they had pressured me into going on the SpongeBob ride, even though I was terrified I had went anyway. When I got to the top, I looked at my neighbor, and asked if it was okay to swear. I then screamed a slew of obscenities while going on the rest of the ride. I'm never going on that again lmao

    I’m from Minnesota. Most people don’t go here unless it’s a special reason. It’s expensive and that’s just our tourist spot at this point, I’m happy to see others talk about it though!
