    The only mall that hasn’t went too downhill is Kenwood Mall. Everywhere else it is a ghost town. I remember in the early 2000’s going to a different mall every weekend and it being crowded. It sucks to see but that’s the way it is now. ❤ great video!

    I worked at the Musicland in that mall somewhere around the 1994/1995 timeframe. During that time CD's were becoming more popular and cassette tapes were being phased out. Crazy to see the mall now vs. when it used to be filled with stores and packed with people.

    I grew up in the northern Cincinnati area. It's funny, because Eastgate Mall was probably the least popular mall back in the day, but now it is doing better than the rest (with the exception of Kenwood Mall, which has stayed relatively immune to mall decline for whatever reason).

      @@SuperBuickregal Currently our econ is great. This is just an evolving world.
      When I was young many stores were run out of storefronts in front of someone's home. Later came the grocery stores (as big as a 7 11 today). Then the super stores. Then the malls with their over crowed parking lots at holiday times. Now I just get most items delivered, even groceries. What's next?

    the mall was a place i could always go to, to get a job, in my 20's. That was the 90's, when malls were still THE place to go. I miss Sears the most. I just saw an TV commercial featuring Sears, bringing everything back, about the place. Sears feels like a favored auntie who died unexpectedly. IDGAF that their check out process was long. That's called an 'experience' and it was a great thing, that modern people wonder why they're so narcisstic AND hostile towards strangers. They're like that because they do not engage in the small social customs of what once was a great concept for a society. If it were designed to house and support all the people, instead of exploiting them. Anyway. xo

    Most vivid memory of this mall is of a woman returning to her car, was abducted, SA'd, and ended a couple of years after the mall first opened. Had the whole city on edge for quite a while. It was quite a shock, as the area was generally considered low crime. The unfortunate woman was the first victim of a multi state crime spree that lasted quite a while. It everyone, especially women afraid to go shopping anywhere near the area. Several years later, even after the person was caught, many women that I worked with refused to go to that mall.

For at least a decade simply having a camera out could also get you in serious trouble. Not just 'asked to leave the mall' trouble.
