I'm a local and the JV mall used to be the place to go. It was always packed. Holidays were crazy busy. I used to work at Footaction back in the mid to late 90's. Great times.
No one is having kids anymore. What do you expect.
Yorktown resident here, this mall is like a funeral where the Guest of Honor is the coffin itself.
But back in the ‘80’s, it was PACKED, and it was THE place to be! Many of us had our first jobs there, and I remember spending Saturdays there shopping for clothes my mom would never have picked out for me, and enjoying a pretzel or cookie at the Food Court.
Now it’s just super-sad to go there.
I was there on opening day.
The mall was a lot nicer, with trees and fountains and that wonderful flooring that looked like brown cobblestone.
It had an ambience that made you want to go there.
Yeah back in the 80's it was super busy and everyone liked that place. I got dragged there to school shop for cloths which sucked but my sister loved that mall.
man this makes me so sad. I had such great memories frequenting this place in the 2000's with my mom even though half the time was spent dragging me through the shoe department lol. Each year I looked forward to black Friday because I never got to stay up that late, and this place would be absolutely BUZZING with people. To the point of having difficulty finding a parking spot. The center plaza used to be so lively even on weekdays. Sbarro, the movie theater and huge cookie stand were always my go to's. Sad to see it in this state
Everyone was at this mall early nineties. It rocked. We would take the bus every Friday.
I’m a local and I vaguely remember the early 2000s renovations. Before that, this mall had more of a brown brick looking floor. The fountain used to be by the escalators in the center court, and I think the railings on the second floor were blue. I think that the recession coupled with the movie theater closing is what caused this mall to take a downturn. I will say, it used to be more dead than it is now and when they did the 2015 facelift they got a lot more small businesses to come into the mall. And yes I can confirm that something you go into this mall and stores that say they should be open are closed with notes that say “be back in a hour” or something similar on the gate.
I don't know why all these malls removed the water fountains... I wish I had seen this mall back before the 2000s remodel. It sounds like it was a classic 80's mall at one point. Thanks for watching!
i remember the brown brick look. they also had trees and a fountain near the movie theater that was also in the brown brick color. not dead but its far from its glory days in the 80s and 90s. the macys aka A&S AKA Jordan Marsh aka reeds is super outdated lol
@@fleabittenadventuresit was a classic 80s mall. I grew up w the mall being born in 84 & the mall opened in 83
Edit the movie theater & Suncoast Video & another 3rd store front were where Dicks is now. Dicks need all 3 for enough space
@@winninglifeyothe JV Dick's is good enough but is the smallest Dick's sporting goods location I've been to
@@winninglifeyo There was a bookstore around there at some pint. Ya I feel like it went dead around 08.
This was my Mall growing up and back in the day it was INCREDIBLE!
I can imagine. Thanks for watching!
I can't tell you the flood of memories this brings back. The "JV Mall" as it was called was the mall I grew up in the 80s and 90s. It was my go-to place for the first 20 years of my life. I still remember when it opened when I was 4 years old and that being one of the most momentous things ever in this heavily-forested, exurban community one hr north of NYC. Being situated in an area with no sidewalks, no "town square", or any decent parks to speak of, this was the place to see and be seen. On weekends, it was PACKED and we would regularly bump into friends. The name-brand stores were beautiful and had very high quality (read: expensive) clothing with the latest fashions. The movie theater was where I got to see all the classics everyone still talks about today like Stand by Me, The Lost Boys, Batman. Die Hard, and T2. Now it looks like an empty shell of its former self. I would get lost in B Dalton bookstore reading for hours. Spencer's Gifts would provide a non-stop source of laughter (and posters). The arcade was where I played classic video games like Street Fighter 2 and NBA Jam Session. The trees were abundant to the point that it looked like an indoor forest and the fountain was absolutely massive and could be heard from many yards away. The mall was our town square and the heartbeat of about a dozen surrounding communities from as far as 20 miles away. I wonder how people living up in such exurban communities have any sort of human interaction anymore. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Oh man didnt expect to see anyone cover my local mall i remember as a kid into teens this was the place, the movie theater and other stores we all hung out there. Didnt know about asbestos but not shocking. Mall has been on life support for ages. Rumors for years was it was closing not currently as bad as it once was but yeah I'd still say its on life support. in the food court those large blank walls one was a bk and the other a pizzeria. Where that cell doc is used to be a pet store. Last bunch of times i popped into the mall different times of day it mainly seems older folks meet up to walk the mall for exercise. God its surreal seeing someone cover this place though! Thanks for doing this by the way! Whether it closes or gets revamped we have a time capsule of it in this moment
11:23 That C&C Hair Design has survived the malls entire run since 1983, I’m pretty sure.
Yep it has
There is one in the Hudson Valley Mall in Kingston, too. There is literally five stores left in that mall including the movie theater, you just can't kill C&C ha ha.
that place has been there for as long as i can remember
I got a Mohawk in that C&C in 1985!
Man i remember this mall in the 90’s being packed. Pick up girl friends in town, drop them off at the mall. Hang out, then off to the dinner for some late night snacks.
I’m not local anymore, but I grew up at that mall. In the early 90s I used to hang out there every Friday night. I guess we were mall rats. I met my first girlfriend at K B Toys. And when I was in college, I was a security guard there and was dating the girl in the candy store. My God, the stories I could tell you about that place.
And don't forget Service Merchandise used to be the flagship
@6:00 That piano store used to be in my downtown. They decided to move, which probably made sense demographically. But my guess is that it’s a mistake long term because I would think this mall won’t be around, or will be radically repurposed in 5-10 years.
Dying mall. Lived here almost all my life and going in two days ago was depressing.
They’re definitely trying to save it. Apparently, the owner’s are gonna reuse the rest of the space that was Sears. BG Entertainment is hosting celebrities and athletes. And they’re trying to do standup comedy shows. Two things I couldn’t care less about.
But it’s got to have a ~30% storefront occupancy rate at this point. Dead malls often feel like a party that was thrown where no one came. Frankly, this mall helped kill my downtown so I can’t see it through the pure eyes of nostalgia.
I would say that the occupancy rate is actually about 70 per cent.
But the mall is moribund.
Regarding the food court, it was like that around 2:00 pm on a Saturday afternoon a few summers ago, so doesn't look like much has changed.
I don't go to malls too often, but those shuttered stores don't look good. On the other hand, the Burlington mall in Burlington Ma is similar. Lots of stores only open for limited hours a few days per week.
I definitely got a dying/dead mall vibe here. I do plan to check out the Burlington Mall sometime this year.
If the mall opened in 1983, it may be that the theaters were from 81, or 82 during construction. While Asbestos was outlawed in the late 70s, suppliers of building materials could still sell the product until it was sold out. Being an 82/83 build, this place was unlucky enough to have the last of the asbestos materials.
the theater wasn't fully done until 1985/86 i think
@@Charmedone9805 ...and it had asbestos? That's just wrong to use if it was that late. (Unless it was the first stages that had it.)
@@georgef551 idk how they got away with it to be honest. that movie theater was tiny and cramped
Local. Will drive 35 minutes to Danbury vs 10 to JV. Other than Macy's, there are no other stores worth the trip. It's depressing now.
I had some of my best times in that mall from 1983 to 1989, worked at Burger King in the food court as my first job. Awesome memories in that mall!!!
I’m Australian but have family that live about 10 mins away from this mall… every couple of years when I come back and see family I go to the mall and every time it gets progressively worse. I went through and had a look at the mall yesterday and was shocked at how terrible it was. There was at least 8-10 vacant stores and the Macy’s was absolutely abysmal. I remember going there for the first time in summer about 20 years ago when I was about 12 years old and it was a pretty popular place. Very sad to see what’s happened to it :(
Sad. Moved to Yorktown in 1980. Heard a mall was coming and was so excited. Cool place to be with the movies and at Danigan’s across the main hall. Had plenty of birthday parties for kids there. Moved away in 2017 got tired of paying NY taxes .
I recall one of the anchors was Steinbach's
Reeds Jordan marsh and A&S were in the macys section sears and dicks was once the movie theater/h&m/ service merchandise
Went to this mall starting at least 20 years ago. I remember the food court had Japanese, Chinese, Burger, Smoothie, Falafel, Ice Cream, Pizza/Italian, Mexican, and Pretzel stands. Probably a few I don't remember. Last time I went it only had 2 stalls. I also felt bad for the upscale restaurant (the name was something like The something and Thorn) that opened only about 2 months before the Sears closed down. I bet they were relying on foot traffic and once the Sears closed there wasn't any. It closed quickly. It was replaced by the Flame Bistro which isn't a bad restaurant but doesn't have the ambiance or the fantastic Steak Salad and other great options. I went to take my dad for a hair cut on a Saturday not long ago and I only saw 4 other people walking around. I know people like me are partly the blame for the state of the mall. I remember roaming the mall in December taking care of my Christmas list which included stops at TWO bookstores. Then years ago I sat in front of my computer musing about what would my friends want for Christmas? Never roamed the mall for Christmas presents again. Still it saddens me.
Here's some history. Prior to becoming a mall, it was kind of an arid marshland colloquially referred to as "The Dunes." Lots of bicycle/dirt bike trails the sides of which were littered with junked cars and various forms of garbage dumped there unscrupulously. In any case, around 1978 I went there with my brother on our bikes (we lived half mile away or so, my brother was 5 years older so I could only go with him). Digging through one of the trashbags on the side of one of the trails, to our delight and astonishment, we found...dozens of discarded Playboy and Penthouse magazines! I was only 6, but I was still majorly intrigued, ha ha. But yeah, like a lot of malls built in the 70's and 80's, I believe there was a crapload of opposition that was successfully navigated after several years and clearing of "The Dunes" began around 1980-1981. Also like a lot of other malls, the JV Mall was HUGELY successful from it's opening in 1983 through the late 90's at least, always packed on Friday nights and weekends (with tons of long haired, smoking teenagers on Friday and Saturday nights back in the 80's).
BTW, that Macy's facade is probably only 20 years old or so, I believe it replaced a Filene's which had itself replaced the original tenant G. Fox (or maybe it was Jordan Marsh).
0:56 You’re looking right at where the trees and fountain used to be. People would throw in coins and make a wish.
and i remember the 3 lights they had inside it,
I have been to this mall several times during the 1980s and 1990s and it has all been one of the least exciting malls to go to over The Westchester, Poughkeepsie Galleria, Danbury Fair Mall, and Natick Mall. It was built too early and too soon, before the mid-to-late 1980s mall boom, so it had a dated look, whereas the other malls had a much more modern look to them.
I got my first LEGO set at Service Merchandise at this mall. I remember it coming out on a conveyor belt.
Yes, the conveyor belt thing was weird. I honestly didn't like not being able to just take the item off the shelf.
As a local I think the mall definitely has gone downhill since sears closed but it should be interesting to see what happens to it given the malls in white plains closing and a few stores like westchester toys and trains moving to the Jefferson valley mall. Another thing that hurt the mall was Yorktown had a block on new commercial construction that delayed several things like the Lowe’s nearby from opening as well as other new stores in the area like Taco Bell and Trader Joe’s so hopefully now that the block on building is gone more stores will move into the mall
I hope they can save it /turn it around - otherwise people in this area will need to drive 40 mins to either Danbury, Poughkeepsie or White Plains for mall shopping.
Most ppl go to the Cortlandt town center bc more in the area, beach shopping center & the new cortland crossings. If that’s not enough they go to The Westchester
Poughkeepsie is slowly dying as well. Best bet would be Danbury fair
Grew up in Mohegan Lake; between myself and my 4 sisters, when our grandfather would make the schlep to visit from "Lawn Guylint" rare was the time when the chosen destination was not "The JV Mall". The nostalgia for the patience of our grandfather as five grandkids would run amuck, and then when our father got out of work we would meet for dinner at J. B. Dannigans (and always asked to sit by the fountain!). The cinema here was where we saw all our movies, back-to-school clothes shopping, we'd go to the pet store on the second floor for the specialty stuff Waldbaums over at Cortlandt Center didn't stock; we'd frequently convince our mother to take us in here before she made her bi-weekly trip to D'agostino's down the street. I wonder if anyone remembers the name of the toy store on the second floor (not Kay-Bee) that sold the fancy imported wooden Brio train sets and the Thomas the Tank Engine stuff?
To see this mall like this, with the trees and fountain gone, the seating pits and terraced dining court seating removed, no more Mr. Bulky's, Suncoast, Sams Pretzels, Chess King, Wicks n' Sticks, Claires (i still have my piercing hole in my left ear from getting it pierced there almost 40 years ago), and all the rest...gone... To think of our grandfather, our friends, the stores, the experiences, the memories...to see it like this; even that they put that facade in front of the angled skylight atrium... There's a reason the suffix "-algia", which translates to "pain", is in the word "nostalgia".
This hurts.
I know it's a mall, but these malls were the "town square" for our generation. It was where we went to socialize, to unwind, and to see and be seen. It's not dead but the whimsy and soul of the 80s that suffused this mall... To see it so sanitized...
Thank you for all the memories, "JV". I hope things will turn around for you and there's a future for many generations to come.
I lived in Putnam Valley for MANY years. This mall was busy when the old Sears in Peekskill moved here and the Baldwin Place mall got destroyed. The anchors were Reids (a really great dept store) and the two story sears. My ex worked in Rudolphs (women's clothing). I bought an 18HP lawn tractor from the Sears as well. The mall had GREAT variety in ALL venues and a great food court to boot. It was (and somewhat still is) the only mall in town. BUT it has been in decline ever since the anchors abandoned ship. Plus is had a sinking issue. Money is tight and ALL malls are dying. while people still have money here it is NOT an affluent area. On line shopping killed them as so many others. I did love the variety of many venues but one by one they shuttered. I moved away in 95. The whole area seems to be slowly dying. Even the Baldwin Place mall is totally destroyed now. Even the few good restaurants in the area are now gone (IE Lantern Pub etc).
Yes, I had never been to this mall or even this town before, but it definitely feels like it's on a decline. Looked like a nice area though. Thanks for watching!
@@fleabittenadventuresIt’s “not affluent” only by Westchester County standards. It’s solidly middle class to even upper middle class. Yorktown destroyed its old downtown to suburban sprawl post-WWII probably harder than most places nearby.
The Baldwin Place Mall was razed, at least one reason being leakage of chemicals from the dry cleaners into the ground water.
However, they built a shopping plaza to replace it, with stores that you enter from the outside, plus some businesses that stand alone.
I was last there during business hours, right before COVID hit, and it looked busy.
@@everforward8651 Baldwin place had Pantry Pride. One of my GFs worked there in the early 70s and another GFs father was a butcher. Irving Dreyfuss was the butcher and Patty Jamieson was my hot GF. My wife worked in Spectrum (womens and girls clothing) in that mall. We used to have parties with all the SMOKIN girls that worked there. I was like an old man in my late 20s. I walked through the mall and grabbed a few mirror squares from the spectrum storefront. They also had a pizza place in the mall. Across the street there was a kinda good restaurant wifey and I went to from time to time. Up route 6 was the Lantern Pub that had GREAT prime rib. I was a member of the VFW and the American Legion in Mahopac. Moved out of the area in 95. Now living in Vegas where it is 121 degrees today LOL
@@renardfranse It was cool to read your comments.
As for Food Fair, the things I remember were the not-climate-controlled walkway between the mall and Food Fair. I remember loving the smell of the pickle barrel when you opened it up.
And, in Food Fair, I squeezed the Charmin.
Now, surely, you remember the Ice Cream Palace and Joy Luck and the Italian beauty parlor (Casa di Bellezza) and Nescott and Embassy and the steak place (The Bum Steer) and the movie theater where I saw Tora! Tora! Tora! and 2001: A Space Odyssey (I saw the latter one with my dad, and, afterwards, we went to the nearby McDonalds, and I remember our discussing the meaning of the ending of that movie at the counter)
How about those round plant islands in the mall, one of which had cactus plants.
During the disco era, I got my leisure suit at Robert Hall.
Did you go to Lakeland HS?
By the way, is the dry heat of Las Vegas more endurable than the humid heat of northern Westchester and Putnam Counties?
This seems to be a very generic mall without any character and I think this is one of their problems, the whole aesthetics gives me the feeling to seen this kind of mall over and over again. No one would go there because the mall is interesting or a fun place.
Yes, I agree. It feels like a very generic mall. Even though it was built in 1983, it feels very much like a 90's mall. Thanks for watching!
Yes, a lot of charchter and charm have been remodeled out of most malls. It's sad they yanked almost all the fountains.
It USED to be an interesting and fun place (as well as attractive.)
If they could get a Dave & Busters I think it would be fire bc they are trying to focus on experiences. Get a few experiences like that & get ppl in the mall other stores will come.
Local here. This place used to be packed when I was growing up.
The JV Mall food court is dead. In the 1990's it was ~8 active eateries with the tables always packed. ~3 are open today and they never have any customers. They really should renovate the food court like the Westchester Mall did and reduce it to 4 flagship eateries.
The movie theatre area (Dick's, Versona, Verizon, Ulta) truly revitalized that section of the mall. It always has customers over there.
They should build a Target, Auto Superstore, or something in Sears section that isn't 24 hour fitness.
The Macy's is okay but the smallest location I've ever been to.
The rest of the mall really has little foot traffic and is almost dying. It has chain clothing stores and children's party places. Occupancy is 75%.
I think that this mall could be saved with the right tenants coming in.
Our mall that was called the Palm Beach Mall opened in the 1960s in West Palm Beach, FL.. I remember in 1987 it went under major renovations, and it had a beautiful fountain with trees and a little bridge that was reduced to a small fountain during the renovations, It had a grocery store attached to it, that was turned into the food court that same year... in the 2000s it started to die out, and the demographics in the area changed.. in the early 2010s it closed and was demolished.. Outlets replaced it.. We use to have smaller malls, and all of those are gone.. We have a mall called the Boynton Beach mall that was built in 1986, it's currently open still, but it's for sale as a tear down.. Sad to see these malls close down..
23:05 It’s very old. It’s not original to the mall. But that’s the same Macy’s sign that’s been there for their entire run.
befroe that it was A&S and before it was Jordan Marsh and originally it was a store called Reeds Macys some how lasted the longest
Great video!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Breaks my heart so much to see my childhood dead and rotting. Why couldn't this be passed down for future generations to enjoy?! So many memories and simpler happier times like when holidays came around and they would decorate with lights, wreathes, ornaments and had the water fountains running. The big brown square slotted pillars near the food court. I remember special moments like watching Batman Forever and Mortal Kombat in the theater, bought many PS1 and PS2 games here. Macy's had a PS1 setup you could play. You had to be alive and be there.
Upstairs - Spencer's Gifts, EB Games, the Disney store, the Sweet Factory, FYE in the big corner by Macy's, Payless Shoes, the Pet Company next to Sears, Burger King, Desert Moon Grill/Cafe, Mama Brava, Sbarro, Valley Deli, Subway. I'm surprised the C&C haircut salon is still there.
Downstairs - KB Toys, Suncoast next to the movie house, Gamestop next to the movie house, the coffee stand under the stairs by Macy's always smelled so nice, the United Artists movie house with the arcade across from the ticket and snack booth, RadioShack, the merry go round.
its crazy how different your jv mall is from the one i go to now. it makes me sad knowing how many millenials and older got to experience the peak of this mall when now its just a sad big structure.
@maril1521 it really was magic that I wish would come back for everyone to enjoy
This mall is has been dying the entire time I been living near. The theater has been gone for ages, big anchor sears closed, only a few stores to go to.
Yeah, it really does have a dead mall vibe. It feels a lot like the dead Enfield Square Mall did a few years ago. I give it 5 years before it is truly a dead mall. Thanks for watching!
There are more than a few stores--but the place is definitely on life support.
Where Dicks is now wasn't that another part of the mall leading to the movie theater and Dicks was extended to that part of the mall or no?
Yes.
Yes it seems like Versona, Ulta Beauty, and the Dicks exterior entrance is a newly built extension circa 2015
Amazing vid!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
I remember when NBA Jam was added to the mini arcade at movie theater (get snacks at CVS before movie) in early 90’s. I also purchased the game at Babbages, which was close to the theater (I think).
Man I remember feeling like a boss with a $50 bill and going into babbages. I spent many hours playing cyberball at the movie theatre. When my Aunt worked at spencer gifts. So many great memories. Sad I moved and have not been able to visit but I always loved that place.
@@snobubbs2877 those were the good old days. Same here with moving. Haven’t been in the mall since 1999.
I used to manage that hot topic. Funnily enough your videos shows more stores being open than when I was there. It was always really slow, picked up a little more on the weekends. But it was the lowest volume store in the district, which meant we would only ever have 2-3 people come in a day. Sometimes I'd lock the store to have my lunch break so we would be closed ~30 minutes a day. If you're running a store alone open to close you might not get a moment until late, like the employee at Claire's
PS - That piano store was a shuttered Victoria's Secret. I kept leaving notes outside to ask if I could buy their leftover furniture/fixtures. Unsuccessful :(
ugh i remember going to HT right after work when i heard it was closing, my heart broke seeing it so empty. but then again, yorktown/JV area has turned extremely republican, theres no space for alternative culture.
@@maril1521 ohhhh I didn't know it closed! that's too bad. I'm not a Yorktown resident but that sounds right based on my experiences with some customers lol
@ yeah lol a bunch of my regulars just across the street prance in with MAGA merch galore. it closed late last year, it was sad for the alt community here (7 people)
Used to live in Yorktown when is mall first opened work at KB toys Service merchandise and the movie theater. Also hung out a lot at JBDangan‘s.
I live right next door and the only thing active in or around that mall or kids with hot rods doing burnouts and donuts in the parking lot
It is a dying mall… but aren’t they all?? If you live anywhere east of YTH then you make the trip to the Danbury mall.
There is a gym where Sears was. It is just not accessible through the inside of the mall.
I would say the JV Mall is struggling, but not dead by any means. The lot near Dick's is often fairly full, and the Sears area has a new 24 hour Fitness gym taking over the Space.
I would agree. The 24 hour fitness isn't connected to the main mall hallway. Half of sears and the auto center are still vacant
that mall is in real terrible shape I remember going there as a kid and the mall was jumping I do remember the fountains and the plants on the bottom floor that place has seen its better days..
It was getting busier as your video went on.
A little. It was probably due to people getting out of work around that time.
Late 90s/ early 2000s this mall was peak. So sad now a days
the renovation seemed to help a bit but this mall is a far cry from what it use to be in the 80s and 90s. one store that was there was service merchandise that my mom use to shop at alot. also had a friendlys at one point and this really 80s/90s looking candy store. the mall was renovated in late 2000 early 2001. its original anchors were Sears Reeds that became Jordan Marsh then A&S And now is Macys and a Service Mercandise that became an h&m before they moved it to the other side of the mall. this mall also had a dine in Burger King at one point. the food court use to have a mirrored ceiling. The hair place next to the old sears has been there for ages. i grew up going to here and danbury alot
Grew up in Yorktown, went to the mall when it opened, was not impressed, saw "Pulp Fiction" there in 1994. I mean people went, people shopped, no problem. I just didn't hang around at malls...got other stuff to do!
Grew up 15 minutes away from this mall. Back then in the 2000s it was great! So many stores and so many people. Around late 2013 was when the beginning of the end commenced. Now it’s a empty shell of itself and I’d rather drive the 30-40 min to either Danbury fair or palisades center. I heard rumors of a possible target location opening where the former sears was. If it is true, it wouldn’t be a bad idea and it could bring back some revival.
Worker at Claire’s may have taken a break, can’t leave an store if nobody there to watch it
That makes sense. I didn't even think of that. Thanks for watching!
The mall is dying! I have lived here over 30 years.
"Too bad the train wasn't running..."
Who says it isn't "self service"? 🤔
That's true, I could have hot wired it. The only problem is that security could probably catch me pretty easily. No high speed train chases. Thanks for watching!
There is a video of how this mall looked in the early 1980's and it was a lot different with many people in that mall like most malls today that are going downhill.
Random question when you went in the elevator was the guy coming out of the elevator a priest? I thought I saw a white collar.
I didn't even notice that. No idea. Thanks for watching so closely.
I spent so many hours here in the 90s-2000s. It has changed so much and I agree, it is a dying mall, unfortunately.
I was wondering 9/11being tomorrow made me think about the world trade center mall someone else did a video on.being from ct and not far from NYC did you ever do a video on that mall or think about doing one?
Im from there. The mall has been dead since 2003
Dead mall, ever since they got rid of the movie theater due to the head lice infestation.
That candy doesn't look fresh
That should be a new thing for people recording in malls to buy something out of the gumball machines.
I'm doing my best to remember to bring quarters with me when I go to malls from now on. Thanks for watching!
U should check out stroudsburg mall in east stroudsburg pa
This mall help up well.
they're trying to open when traffic comes in...... 4pm is close to when people get out of work
People are working come back at 6pm.
Flame is a really good Asian fusion restaurant, I have to say.
Yes, as was Stone Rose.
It is the only mall that I know of that does not have a food court.
It does and did. It’s just paired down *heavily* from what it used to have. Only 3 places now. There used to be a Friendly’s, two delis, a chain pizzeria, Burger King, Full Moon, and a bunch I’m forgetting. The Chinese food place, that’s been known as Asian Food Bistro is the longest surviving.
that mall had a food court it was in the middle of the mall upstairs..
@@cjaquilino Plus there's the restaurant and the free standing food stands in the food court area. Also there's some kind of snack place on the lower floor of the mall, to the right of the elevator and escalator--as well as a cookie kiosk there.
Where I live, I have 2 Malls near me, and both have a crime problem now, one of them is even in a college town. If it wasn't for that, both would still be doing ok. I miss the 90's and 2000's
It used to be popping in the 80s...... definitely dieing......... I'd like to go there on a weekend and see the traffic
I went in there, literally was 3 people and thats it.

Very much dying mall
It’s been hanging for years
It needs a target or big store
Food court dissolving
Very sad
The food court was down to like 2 places at one point. At least now it has 3 with 2 food stands.
It’s Been dying for a while
They are all dying or dead
It may not be dead, but it needs a lot of help
That mall is dead . I go there to get to get my hair cut but thats it .
It’s seem like dying mall to me.
Old people dont shop. N this is located where old retired people live.
"Old people dont shop."
Could have fooled me (and most other people.)
And, not only seniors live in that area.
Now, what you said would be like, oh, I don't know, saying that Latino people are never seen in the mall's stores, unless they're maintenance workers.
(Y, aquí entre nos, hermano, es odioso cuando una persona anda insultando a otro grupo de seres humanos--y mucho más cuando esa persona es un miembro de un grupo minoritario.)
It was popular and pretty nice growing up in the eighties. I’ve been once the past few years and while it’s not completely dead it’s pretty close. If it wasn’t for the Macys it probably would be.
@@bacchiguu86 Gee, I visit the mall regularly.
And I've never seen any of the seniors be nasty.
What you said would be like, oh, I don't know, saying that the people who moved to northern Westchester from the Bronx are all human garbage.
"Just sayin.'"
