QUESTION: so around 7:02 where all those cars are.....does anybody know what that store was? I’ve never seen that part open it has always been closed off so long. Did that used to be a movie theater? It looks like it could have been one 🤔Appreciate anybodies feed back 😊
@@mme152: Haven't been in Westchester County since early 90s so Obamas housing policies have since ghettoized the area? In CLE area once there's a foothold established a steady decline ensued and it does start with retail.So I don't doubt what your presently seeing.Rolling Acres mall in Akron is the most infamous of a few examples here.
@@MikeJ2023:Wow,this retail apocalypse taking Dept.stores and the malls.Apparently we're supposed to be just fine with crappy warehouse,big box and Wal-Marts as our social & shopping destinations.🙄Oh Boy fun-fun-fun in frost belt states like Ohio.🥶
Yeah but the KFC there is actually pretty terrible. I live next to here. Best bet is Wendy’s or charleys steaks. My favorite thing is the Cinnabon and carvel I think it’s still there
that elevator in the center of the mall overlooking the food court has not ran since like October of 2018 it was always breaking down and acting funny I saw it go up really slow to the top floor then went back down without even opening the doors on the top floor they shut it down and its just been sitting on the bottom floor for like a year and a half..
@@user-rf8wq3vy9b lol I don't know what mall your talking about lol you walk in that mall you get that 1980's feel to the mall its so dated I mean seen its better days for sure..Then again I worked for wp hospital for seventeen years so I seen the mall like everyday so the mall to me is so played out..
Oscar the Grouch Are you talking about the galleria of white plains if you are then. I’m talking about the elevator and it’s was one of my favorite places to go to.
@@user-rf8wq3vy9b well I was referring to both the elevator by the food court has not ran in years I moved up to Beacon NY the elevator stopped working like around the end of the summer of 2018..It was a scary thing I remember watching while I was eating it crawl up to the third floor then went down at normal speed then the mall itself is so outdated its like stepping back into the 80's at least the Palisades mall kept up with the times and I haven't been in the Westchester mall in a long time I hate that mall..
I use to go here a lot as a kid. I remember there was a Friendly's restaurant back in the 90s that I had to go and get that sundae every time lol. Congrats on 1000 subscribers 🎈
I was the general manager of GWP under Simon from mid 2011 to mid 2013 and again from late 2014 until ownership transferred to Pacific Retail in August of 2016. The place got a bad rap due to the garage incident (garage is owned and operated by the city, not the mall, but customers would blame the mall for garage issues anyway). Simon inherited GWP through the Mills acquisition in 2007, but treated it like a red headed stepson due to the proximity of the Westchester. During my tenure, we did some decent lease-up, replaced the escalators, and changed over all the old burnt out lighting in the common area to LED. Glad to see the new owners inventing in the place, although I see they gave up the ghost on trying to fix the center court elevator, which was a PITA for at least the last ten to twelve years. The mall probably still needs a renovation or redevelopment soon.
Quick question for you, always been so curious around 7:02 where all those cars are.....do you know what that store was? I’ve never seen that part open it has always been closed off so long. Did that used to be a movie theater? It looks like it could have been one 🤔 thank you! 😊
@@sirot5561 Its last use was as a Asian restaurant. This is the half of the space that was left. The rest was taken by Forever 21 for part of their lower level. When I was there, we used this space as landlord storage.
@@MCOfan gotcha! Thank you so much for the reply. I always heard there was a movie theatre down there called “Galleria Twin Cimemas” that closed in 1990 and where those cars were looked a lot like it could have been a movie theatre but as far as I can remember it was closed off and blacked out windows but it makes sense if it was landlord storage! 😁
The mall still has a somewhat of an eighties feel to it. Not in a bad way, just an observation. I especially like the SERS department store. So telling. Continued great videos both informationally and video wise.
It’s in white plains in the Hart of westChester county a very highly populated area in the lower Hudson valley region. If this mall can survive a pandemic it can survive anything. I think it’s still doing ok.
@@Charmedone9805 I hate when things once nice go to shit I’ve lived in white plains for 5 years when I first moved here the mall was happening. I guess I’m in denial. Anyway if they’re going to Have to do something with the white plains mall. That’s completely dead at least the galleria still has a heartbeat.

@@RawRealRetail Its a refrence to a show that was filmed here, named Generation loss: the social experiments. 3 episodes on youtube
Never knew there was a place to play a piano, inside this mall! And around the 4:35 mark. And also at 5:20 .
RIP to this mall, as it is now closed.
Sadly, the mall will close this month.
1980-2023.
The Galleria's fate has been sealed. It is closing March 2023
I heard about that. Seems rather premature to me.

in the 80's and/or 90's, it was a sporting goods store called, Herman's World of Sporting Goods.....I don't remember what came after that
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO TAKE WENDYS FROM US😭😭

@@ip1ssglitter EXACTLY 😭

Louis Aloi it’s sad how u think that’s a nice mall it’s not it’s dirty crowded and ghetto that’s why I always go to the westchester mall

That mall is not dead
Correct!
Since when did anyone say it was?
I remember when they were building this mall
@1:02 -- Wow, I've never seen a KFC inside a mall before, less part of a food court.
Yeah but the KFC there is actually pretty terrible. I live next to here. Best bet is Wendy’s or charleys steaks. My favorite thing is the Cinnabon and carvel I think it’s still there
I remember that KFC used to be a Dunkin Donuts/ Taco Bell combo in the mid 2000s 😳 that combo always grossed me out for some reason 🤣🤣
It’s all gone now :(
How do you mean?
@@RawRealRetail I think It has been demolished :(
I used to go to this mall all the time until 1998, that's went it went downhill. So sorry to see it go.

Yeah buddy even in 2020 I went to that mall back in February. Before this pandemic started it is a great mall to visit a 10 out 10 review.

With Sears and Macy's now gone it is only a matter of time.
