I Spent a Day in San Francisco's Dead Mall
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лют 2024
- The San Francisco Center, Formerly Westfield Center, used to be a shopping destination for all of Northern California. Today, a lot has changed. So I spend the day there to see what it's really like. Is it still amazing? Is it unbelievably boring? What does someone do if they're spending the entire day in the mall?
And most importantly, will I meet some new friends along the way.

If they turned most of it into apartments this would be a crazy cool village
probably a bitcoin mining facility. that way the city can make $... cause this aint cutting it
could def do with a more accessible housing market
The SF mayor wants to turn it into a soccer stadium, when their homeless population is booming and affordable housing is nonexistent in their city. These people are out of their minds. Absolutely, turn it into apartments. This is like a no brainer to everyone but the idiots in charge.
I used to spend an entire day at this mall with my friends when I was in High School. We would hang out eating croissants under the dome, see a movie and go shopping at United Colors of Benetton.
There were some high school age kids hanging out at the mall for most of the day when I was there too. But they were sitting at a table in the food court mostly on their phones.
Those days were long gone...
Remember Blondie’s Pizza & Rasputin Records?!
I was working at Benetton on opening day back in 1988 or so. Was the most amazing mall bragging to have the largest spiral escalator.
Same! they should take a note from Stonestown and turn it into a giant food court.
Truly heartbreaking. The memories I have attached to this mall are priceless.
I hope it comes back!
@@AdamDoesNotExistI doubt it ! Although malls across North America are going the way of the dinosaur 🦕 let’s not brush aside why they’re closing and that’s because of retail theft ! And the fact that there’s no consequences for it ! 🤷🏻♂️
or cheap ?
@@AdamDoesNotExist It will! But it will likely be luxury retailers that have relocated and converted the smaller stores. There are several shopping centers in the Bay area that have seen this. Mid-market retail shopping is dead. Have you been in a Best Buy lately?
@@MrManflyMalls were dying before ORT became a thing.
I went to this mall just 5 years ago and it was very crowded and bustling, relatively speaking that was not that long ago. I am in shock!
It's a really different area of SF post pandemic.
@@AdamDoesNotExist A big part of that is that so many office workers continued to work from home after the pandemic, so the downtown area never recovered the lunch hour and after-work traffic from locals. It can't survive on just tourists. Friday at 5 pm, the streets are empty when 5 years ago they would be bustling with people getting out of work, getting a drink or dinner after work, starting their weekend. Now all those people are in their pajamas on their couch.
Me too visited from Sydney 🇦🇺 Australia in September 2022 and it was super busy
Shame to see what has happened great spot there
I arrived in San Francisco in 1981 at the age of 21 and for next twenty years, San Francisco was my home. I loved it dearly. The City offered this high school graduate enough job opportunities to afford my own apartment, good friends and fun times. Then suddenly everything changed and I was feeling really financially squeezed out. I left in 2001 for New Hampshire, but the hold The City had on me never let go. I am so glad I left earlier than most. I never had to witness everything tearing San Francisco apart with my own eyes. I still have uncorrupted memories of the place I still love. This clip was just so sad.
Thanks Democrats!
Yes, in the 70's and 80's, if you had a good, full-time job out of high school, you could afford a one bedroom apartment that today costs $3,000. The government has lowered our living standards dramatically. It's sad.
@@cherylrichard3059 illegals now get higher living standards thanks to Biden.
@@ja01975 guess I'll take the bait.
Dems aren't fixing the place, but if you don't think big silicon valley money and an unwillingness to fund housing solutions (omg, that's socialism!!!!) arem't also responsible, then you aren't paying attention.
The common denominator behind the shittiest politicians isn't party, it's accepting rich peoples' money. The citizen's united ruling was a fucking mistake. Lobbying is bribery.
The reason why this mall is dead because San Francisco refuses to cleanup the city and enforce crime.
I worked at this Bloomingdales from 2019-2023. The change was immeasurable after the pandemic, nothing was the same. I’m glad I left and am on to bigger and better things.
Good Luck to you! This is exactly what the guy outside said to me. Tourism in SF is far from what it was pre pandemic.
"I'm counting them as friends." As someone who was born in San Francisco and spent my youth in the Bay Area, I love this:)
Haha, thank you!!
Before COVID this place was thriving. I went about 6 months ago because i was in the area and omg was i shocked at the condition of this mall. Completely insane how dead the mall got in just a few short years.
When I moved here in 1990 this was definitely a destination point! Two underground lines stopped here and the stores in it were great! Emporium was still around then and the Nordstrom Cafe with the overhead domed windows was a great spot to eat - especially on a rainy day! Around last Christmas I came over here and didn't realize so much had closed since I basically got tired of the nastier crowds that hung around the area since the late 90s! Very sad!
It's really cool to hear about those days. Hopefully they return!
It's really cool to hear about those days. Hopefully they return!
@@AdamDoesNotExist I lived in SF in the early 90s also. People forget that NYC was almost bankrupt in the late 1970s. These historical cities will rise again.
Considering the mall guards also have to spend the whole day (and every working day) in the mall they would also be bored out of their mind.
And I think that expelling the mall rats means less business for the food outlets, and the mall becomes just a bunch of shops, so you go to the one you plan to go to and then leave. This means the restaurants close, making it harder for people to spend any significant time there.
There is a reason why every IKEA has a reasonably prized restaurant in the middle.
Of course the death of mall culture can be either good or bad depending on what people do instead.
I saw security talking to a few people who didn't seem to have good intentions, but in general they didn't have a ton to do on this specific day. Though I do know there have been some very busy days for the security team!
It's funny how we built these places explicitly to attract people to hang out and buy things, but when people hang out and buy things in a certain way then "Ewww, get them out of here! They're making me feel slightly gross while I shop for my expensive things! I'm ever so slightly more aware of the tenuousness of my position in the middle class! Hisssss, get them away from meeeee!"
US culture is a fucking trip when you're not immersed in it.
Can you afford living in SF on a Mall Guard salary? Or do they live at the mall?
The last time i went here, it was filled with ppl and it was a year ago, but now its dead? Wth
Ikr im tripping
To me, it's considered a huge problem if the LEGO store has to close. Which there was one there, and it's last day of business was nov. 30, 2023.
As a high schooler, this mall gave me a lot of memories, it's a shame it's turned into this. I remember seeing Pirates at World's End at that exact movie theater and we waited for the start time at the borders bookstore just a floor below.
Another good video. As a SF Native I've been to this mall many times including its movie theater. It's such a beautiful modern mall.
I'm so saddened by how fast it has fallen. I'm even more irritated by how some people lie about this mall being unsafe when it's one of the safest places to be. In all of the times I've visited, not once did I ever feel unsafe.
In my opinion Westfield or San Francisco Centre is a much safer place than that part of Oakland you visited in your previous video.
I'm hopeful of its revival in the future.
Oh this mall along with many other malls in the SF area are NOT safe. There are plenty of gang fighting, smash and grab activities in these malls. Just do a quick google search and u will see.
The old mall is safe, but walking to the 5th & Mission parking garage or getting on Powell St. BART/MUNI is risky and dangerous.
@bvincesf From my experiences walking to and from the Powell St Station is mostly *not* dangerous.
Matter a fact I was there yesterday, and it *wasn't* even close to being unsafe. Though occasionally there are some undesirable people, but not unsafe for the most part.
Born and raised in San Francisco. Still live here. It safe, motherfuckers are just soft now.
@@bvincesf My daily commute includes that stop and I never see anything happening. Maybe during the late night you could be right, but if you're going to this mall nothing should happen.
Solid video, I should probably visit this mall since I'm pretty close to a BART station now. I usually visit Chinatown and a couple of other places in SF, but never really stopped by the Westgate Center for as long as I've been in the bay area.
Malls in California don't offer the one major advantage that they do in other areas of the world; an escape from absolutely miserable weather. Ever go to a mall in Indonesia? They're amazing, and filled with people because it's 95 degrees and 85% humidity outside.
100%. I've gone to malls for that reason alone.
What a shame to see such an icon of a mall closing up. So many of our huge malls in Vancouver, Canada have unfortunately met the same demise. Great video!!
That mall was busy and moderately of people and stores when I was visited in 2021, so it’s sad to see what was a nice place be so empty.
Very fun video! Nice work. The dead mall community has a typical posting style and format that most channels offer. Your style is a great change of pace away from the common dead mall vids. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! I didn’t even realize there was a dead mall community. Glad you liked the video
man i remember 2014 this place was hella busy
I remember avoiding the area in 2019 because it was so busy!
Ughhh i wanna go back
I remember when they opened the "new" extension side. The "new" extension used to be a department store called the Emporium. It's the part with the food court in the bottom. It was amazing. Lots of local food stalls and also a fancy Bristol Farms market down there. Increasing crime and the pandemic was the nail in the coffin.
It’s come a long way since then
Bristol Farms closed back in 2017 long before the pandemic & crimemongering even existed
When I moved to the SF Bay Area, I loved having Bristol Farms downtown and was amazed by the busy foot traffic. S.F. now resides in Europe. The streets are busy, the transportation is great, and you have stores large and small in the city centre. America is in decline and there is no denying it.
That Bristol Farms was incredible. First stop right after getting out of Powell Station
I loved the grocery store and the mechelin star restaurant on the 4th floor, I believe in the new “expansion”. Theft and the pandemic is partly to blame. We the people are far more responsible for what is happening around the world with all these closures, we sacrificed these places for the luxury of convenience. Living on our phones and never having to leave the house to pay bills, order food, banking, etc. it is our own fault in the name of progress. 😢
I still go to the mall where I live, and they are fun to hang out in, and you still see alotta life☆ great video btw!!
Thank you!!!
i really liked this video!!♥️ i miss california so much, especially SF! moving to the east coast makes me appreciate california more :(
Glad you liked it!!
Confucius says: "if the stores aren't open, the criminals can't shoplift"
This was a great video and I'm surprised at the sub count. Just here to say, I was here before Adam made it big! It's only a matter of time if you keep pumping videos like this out
Thank you! This means a lot to me!
There are other malls that are still alive in the Bay Area. This was one that was easy to steal from. You dont want to know what the Metreon Target is like just a block away. Rampet theft and everything is locked up. Its not just the pandemic foot traffic that killed it. Im so glad I moved away when I did. I'll never forget the fond memories of what this city used to be.
Oh no. I remember going to this mall maybe a year ago. It was pretty active but didn’t expect it to go down the drain like this.
Part of the situation with this mall is that traditional malls in general are struggling. The sorts of stores that they used to attract, especially their anchors, have almost all imploded in recent years, from Lord and Taylor to Sear's. Even those that have survived with physical stores worth in quantities worth mentioning thus far, like JC Penny and Macy's, are in real trouble, and nothing has necessarily emerged to replace them. As such, it is really difficult for malls to survive much of anywhere. Even some in busy locations with strong policing are seeing a notable emptiness.
Totally. They've tried to attract luxury tenants, but this area in general isn't much of a shopping destination any more.
Go 80 miles south, same brand's mall, the Westfield/Santana Row in San Jose is booming. Massive crowds all the time. So looks like you're wrong.
Feels a little misleading. To my knowledge, Westfield packed up and left at the end of 2023. They likely wouldn't have renewed any leases, which would result in a lot of empty retail spaces. I think as ownership fully transfers and they're able to start filling the retail spaces, the mall can revitalize pretty quickly. As others have mentioned, Stonestown is doing pretty well, coming out of the pandemic. If the formerly Westfield mall focuses on enhancing safety measures, I believe it has the potential to be just as successful as Stonestown.
I shopped in this mall as a teen and then worked in this mall 2008-2009.. shocked to see how downhill it’s gone.. it was booming back then. Sad.
I was there a few months ago. It wasn't Dead. There were not as my people as before the Rona but definitely wasn't dead. It's gets packed on weekends!
There's that many security guards because of how much theft there was at the mall prior. It's been like that throughout most malls in California unfortunately.
Great job!
This video is so cool. It definitely feels like there is a difference even from when I went in 2022 and now in 2024, unfortunate to see. Crazy how many stores were there in 2022 that are now gone
Thank you!
Last time I was at the Westfield Center was back in 2016 and it was really bustling. Moved away before the pandemic, but still sad to see the direction the city is going.
I remember when this mall reopened, circa 2006 - it looks like it has gone back to near what it used to be, decades of nothing. Initially it was an old beautiful department store that left decades ago. The restoration and reopening was very hyped up and it lived up to the hype. They tried to keep the architecture, most importantly the domes intact. They did a fantastic job. The upscale grocery store near the food court was a favorite. There was a beautiful restaurant, Michelin Star rated on the 4th floor I believe. I ate there often, The crowds, especially on the weekends were hectic. I preferred to go on weekdays during the day, even at the time it was crowded. Lots of fine stores - not just the high end brands that you see everywhere now. The security and locked stores is horrible however that is happening worldwide. Such a shame. Lunch at Nordstrom often. Spent a fortune at this amazing mall. I would take all my family and friends from interstate and international to go experience it. San Francisco was on 🔥 when this mall opened in 2006 for a good ten plus years. I hope this mall comes back to life. I noticed Gunps came back. Another beautiful high end department store - they left around 2016 or so I believe but they are back. Hopefully more will follow. Unfortunately I doubt it though, we have all contributed to this, worldwide, we sacrificed these amazing places for convenience. We all live on our phones, buy online. We never need to leave the house anymore. Banks are disappearing - no need for them anymore. All online - So, we are all to blame for this new dystopian empty urban decay.
The last time i was there was in late 90's. The mall had a lot of people shopping back in the day. Im really shocked to see this now.
So was I!
I used to go here all the time as a kid and throughout highschool. Its really sad to see how deserted it is. So many good memories :
great intro soundtrack lol hows the commercial realestate? rental places? are apartment complexes full or empty? hows the night time is it scary?
I would take personal days there in college in the late 90s. It was packed. So sad to see such desolation. Great memories
Honestly not a bad place to take personal days now! But the experience will be quite different.
Hiya Brother Adam 👨🏼
Sad too see what happening over there.Many great famous store's in the malls is closed down. Such a modern mall.
This mall remind me of Zombie 80's movies ( Dawn Of The Dead and Night Of The Comet) i hope you have seen them.
In Malaysia we also have few new malls which is closed/ empty.
Great video by the video
My guy! Thank you! I agree, this would be a great set for a zombie movie.
@@AdamDoesNotExist 🤗 you are welcome.
Thank you agree with me sir
That’s actually insane. I remember going to this mall every time I went to SF from Sac. I haven’t gone in years but seeing its state now makes me sad 😢
I live close to the Westfield Mall in Escondido-San Diego California. It has a JC Penneys open, Target and many stores. It does also have a closed Nordstroms, Sears, Fitch, Souplantation, Hallmark & Yankee Handle. The place is dead most of the day, but at nights and weekends, it's fairly busy. The mall was just sold to a group from LA. They want to integrate additional retail, entertainment, dining and theater options. They had a Costco planned, but Costco pulled out at the last moment.
Lovely.
it is crazy to see this mall as a dead mall after having spent so many years shopping here as a local
wow, I lived in SFO since 2014 and just recently moved out last December of 2023 to Reno, ever since after Covid San Francisco just went down drastically.
with friends, we'd have so much fun here , running around and looking in stores would be so entertaining. it's empty which is eery but we would have a blast fooling around
Worked here from 2015 till 2018. Went back a few after the pandemic and it was a night and day difference from what I was used to. There were signs of it dying back then, but the pandemic really brought about a lot issues that were hiding under the surface
I worked at the Century/Cinemark theater in that mall from when it opened in Fall 2006 to when it closed on March 17th, 2020 due to the pandemic. I never went back even when it reopened in 2021, and was surprised that it closed so suddenly in July 2023 (right before "The Flash" opened that weekend) Oh well..
I guess it's tough competing with the Metreon? The AMC on Van Ness closed pretty abruptly too.
the dome was so pretty during the holidays!! ❤🥹
I think I remember going to this mall a lot as a kid in the 90s. I only sorta remember it, but it used to be so cool.
Remember when it was packed. I used to go to that salon.. it used to be so crowded..
This was back in 2012-2016
It has changed quite a bit!
I always loved going to that mall. I haven't been there in a few years, maybe about 10 years, but it's a shame that it looks so 'dead'!!
i spent alot of my teenage days at this mall, was sweet on a girl who loved just hanging at the rotunda and chilling out, enjoying whatever holiday displays they had going.
I went to this mall in 2019, before the pandemic hit, with my friends on vacation and it was pretty bustling. There were benches and seating with tables where the dome section was at from what I remember. Kinda sad to watch it so empty.
You know this mall is in decline when half the employees are security guards.
i used to go there a lot after work when i lived there and it was always busy. it was still very busy when i left. so sad.
I remember taking Bart out to the city to hang there. Always looked forward to seeing my homies in the city! crazy how it is now.
It's a different feeling in mid market. Everywhere else is about the same.
How many stores are still open? How many stores does the mall have?
I work here!!! Dang I would have loved to talk to you physically there.
No way! What do you do there? I would have loved to put you in the video. I’ve made a bunch of videos in SF so maybe I’ll stop by again some time. I’m still pretty afraid to ask to film people. It’s almost always a no.
I used to walk through this mall every day on the way to/from work. I'd get off at the BART station in the basement and catch a shuttle right outside the mall. Sad to see what the pandemic did to the area.
New viewer! I moved back to my hometown after spending my college years in San Francisco just last September.
Right when movie theaters were starting to open right back up in 2020, I worked at that Cinemark location you visited. I knew it had probably closed by now as the mall was slowly dying (and with it being so hidden away at the top floor) but seeing it fully defunct through this random video in my suggestions box was fucking surreal. I eventually took on a better job as a box office clerk at the Alamo Drafthouse in Mission.
Anyway, love what I’ve seen of the channel so far. I get a lot of horrible “Isn’t San Francisco dangerous/dirty?” questions now that I’m back in SoCal, and though the city I left behind certainly has seen better days, I got to really appreciate my time there for what it was - your videos are a perfect encapsulation of what I mean by that.
Thanks! Great to have you here! SF makes my head spin sometimes. There is so much that should be so much better. At the same time, there is still so much that keeps me in the area.
I haven't been back to SF since 2017, but I lived there from 2012-14. Such a shame to see the mall like this. The movie theaters would play classic movies every Wednesday, it's where I learned about classics such as Roman Holiday and To Catch A Thief. Hell, I still have my ticket stub for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid from that theater! There was also a restaurant in the Nordstrom store that had a beautiful view and great food. I've never felt more at home than I did with SF so if I were to walk around that mall nowadays I might break down and cry.
I was in San Francisco the summer of 2022 for my friends wedding and I was at the mall. I loved the spiral escalator.
That escalator is so cool! So is the dome upstairs.
@@AdamDoesNotExist Guess, you got over your fear of escalators
There are very few spiral escalators installed across the United States (six locations). These were the first! The only other spiral escalators I’ve been on were in the Bloomberg headquarters in NYC.
Being a teenager in the 80's. I remember malls as depicted in the movie Fast Times at Ridgmont High. Malls was where we socialized.
Such a classic!
Have lived in SF for all 27 years of my life. Its the only home I know. Terrible what they've done to my city.
They built up this mall to have everything. Even a movie theater that is now gone. Used to take the muni with my mom after summer classes to go catch movies there together, not too long ago. Ridiculous how this city deteriorated but kinda obvious. bunch of nobodies from the midwest came here in the 2010s with a "progressive" mentality. They voted for stupid policies & terrible people as politicians. Then prices went up & they all dipped when the crime started going up (both consequences of the policies these jerks voted for.) They left the city in shambles & moved on to go suck the next town dry. SF is so sad now. This mall was full of people during black Friday. U can barely walk around now at night down the street from telegraph hill.
Can't blame the outsiders completely. Terrible leaders like London Breed come from our city. Mayor Ed Lee was also bad. He's the one who sold the city out to developers in the first place. From there, the corruption just kept getting worse. And it got really bad under DA Chesa Boudin & that stupid california law that diminished the punishment for theft. All we needed was the summer 2020 riots which was the final nail in the coffin.
Seeing this really hurts. I used to live off Leavenworth & Polk and would go to some of the restaurants in the food court. They actually had some really good places to eat and not just your usual mall chains. It used to be a very busy place. IIRC, Borders bookstore was at the very top, and they had a small Newstand satellite store on the bottom.
Good. They had skunk sized rats at the italian spot by the bathrooms and when I pointed it out while grabbing my plate all they had to say was "that's Henry"
I did my grad degree in this place from 2016-2019. SFSU occupied one of the upper floors for some of its grad programs. I remember going to this place after work to take night classes and it was so busy! Kinda sad to see what it has become.
Truly a different time
I grew up here in the Bay Area by SF and worked in that mall for many years and that is a shadow of what it use to be like even on a Monday, sad
I’m from a different era , that mall didn’t exist when I was a child in 1971. Woolworths was across the street from said mall and that was the destination for us.
I love watching the videos of Market street from that time. It's so intersting to see how much has changed, and how many landmarks haven't changed at all!
I’ve been to that mall countless times over the years when I worked in the area, or visited the city.
The food court has had lots of outstanding food over the years.
Still does have some good food!
That kid is back on the escalator!
looks like a beautiful mall
During the holidays that food court is usually packed
I still have a borders bookstore gift card, unused I got from there.
It makes me very sad. That mall is where I discovered Video Games, and got Food with my mom, had a summer camp there too at the microsoft store.
i miss this mall it was absolutely beautiful
Still is... just a bit less crowded
6:11 "Pretzels is the same" - Hannibal Buress
Hahaha. He's right. Pretzels is the same!
it's actually on the up and up now - I work in fidi and it almost feels like we're back at pre-rona times now. downtown is getting busier, and it definitely feels like more people are out and about.
i only ever went to this mall for 2 reasons:
1. for century theater with friends and then the food court after
2. legos for when i was ditching college classes, and then some pizza bites before i head back home
working a 9 - 5 now tho and got my license, glad i got as much as out of the place as i can before it becomes something else. I just hope it's something the community benefits from
Man every time I go there I feel like it’s too many people in the mall
Man, I remember. When I was 16 years old, my brother took me here, they had a lot of people. Now it’s not the same no more 😔
You can get on the roof, but you have to go what essentially is "next door" to the mall and take an elevator up. There is a desk and they prolly have you "sign in" as it is an office building. It is a public parklet space on the roof above the dome.
I've got to check that out!
Adam 😍
Stonestown Mall at edge of town is busy and lively serving the locals. For this mall to bounce back tourism and office workers need to return to the area.
I've eaten a lot of Udon at Stonestown!
That was one of my favorite balls to go to I've spent a lot of money at Nordstrom's in a lot of other shops there. Also the Century Theater was not bad at all. Last time I was up there was before covid so is sad to see it being so empty. 😔
It's kind of crazy right!?
@@AdamDoesNotExist yeah it's really sad
I had no clue this place was even dying. The last time I was there was back in 2015 around Christmas time, and this place was PACKED
I'm sure it picks up around Christmas, but it probably isn't like you remember.
She is the worse mayor of San Francisco- EVER!
CA in general has crappy laws & even crappier voters who support such mayhem .
This mall is absolutely or was as stunning and gorgeous as the ones in Paris or Berlin…. Back in the 80s during the holiday probably one of the most breathtaking scene… Unfortunately, I dont see it ever going back to it former self…. Society is indifferent… technology has completely turned the malls upside down and annihilated what it all used to be
I wonder how many malls have closed here in the Bay Area. I know Vallco mall used to be a thing I even went to it when I was younger I know at one point Sunnyvale had a mall too. Who know if SF mall will someday close down
Also, just remembered that Newpark Mall doesn’t seem to get that much foot traffic either who knows if they’ll close that one at one point
I know that the more popular ones are great mall and Valleyfair Eastridge doesn’t seem to get that much traffic either and then they’re outlet mall like Gilroy and San Francisco outlets
I used to go out to Stones town Mall when I was on Vacation out in San Francisco! Is it still there? BTW where is this Mall located?
It's called Stonestown Galleria now, and it sure is still there. They opened a Marugame Udon a few years back which I went to a few times.
@@AdamDoesNotExist Glad to hear it! I used to take the MUNI # 29 Sunset 🌆 or an M-Oceanview Train to get out there! I usually stayed at a Basque Hotel in Chinatown when I was vacationing out there Always bought a MUNI Pass to get around! Do you cover anything in the East Bay? Do you know if Larry Blake's and Freight and Salvage are still over in the East Bay in the Oakland/Berkeley area? Loved this video!
@@paulrom446 I do quite a lot in the east bay! But can’t say I know those places.
@@AdamDoesNotExist Okay Thanks! Just curious!
This mall is at the Powell Street Bart stop, between 4th and 5th Street on Market in SF. What's left of it, anyway. It's at least half empty. Three empty spots on the main floor do have "just been leased" signs, if true.
There's actually an entire huge multilevel mall just down the street on market that never opened. You should do a video about that.
Actually, I did. It was called 6x6, and now it's an Ikea
There is a reason. There is a plan for the city. Getting all the stores out. Get rid of downtown and the freeways.
I opened the Nordstrom at the mall. Fun fact there are some secret rooms at the top with balconies to observe the shoppers. Scary high up
That's so cool! I love a secret employees only room.
i remmber that me and my sis would go wacth movies at the mall . good times :(
I also like my coffee black 😂😂😂
Sometimes I feel like I'm offending Starbucks by getting black coffee there lol
Haha I mean that’s honestly the method I used when I try a new coffee shop. If their black coffee is good then I trust all of their coffee drinks lol
There was a hot dog stand near the mall that had really good pretzels. Not sure if its still there as last time was there was 2012. Time flies.
A LOT has changed since 2012. But it might still be there!
@@AdamDoesNotExist It was across the street from the entrance.
This makes me so sad, I live going to malls. I wish they weren’t dying
A friend or mine just posted a video from a couple of days ago and there were less people. This is pretty sad!
That's hard to immagine!
Man my friends and I used to go to this mall afterschool
I saw some highschoolers in the food court. But it certainly wasn't busy...
