There's a few of these types of videos now from the Galleria, but this one is special in that you've actually been to the mall before, and from around here, which is very important to the narrative of something like this. I used to come to this mall every Saturday with my family, I'd go into the Macy's entrance (Then Filene's, this is 1993), and sprint down past Babbage's (before it turned into Gamestop), and then Electronics Boutique to Cyberstation, the proper arcade this mall once had. It was across the way from the food court, directly in-between the Spencers and the old Electronics Boutique/Gamestop. For anyone that ever sped Saturday nights there (it closed in April 2002), Round 1 has none of what makes Cyberstation special. I ended up working in the arcade from 1997-1998, and it's my most fun job to date. I bought all my video games at this mall, had my first date at the Ruby Tuesday's, went trick or treating with my little sister. Handed out candy on Halloween when I was working there, and seeing it in the state it's in is sad, but it's important that it get documented. Please consider keeping the source video in case UA-cam takes it down for music copyright in the overhead tunes. Thank you so much for doing it, if anyone wants to get in touch about the Galleria, I can be reached at cyberstation5745@gmail.com (The Taunton chain of this arcade was location #5745.) Thanks again, also the jeweler to the right of Disney Store was Belden Jewelers.
Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate you checking out the video and sharing all the great memories you had at the mall! These are the types of comments I love to read(I enjoy all the comments but this one really did it for me), and it really adds to the nostalgic value that you actually worked at the mall too! I have this saved as well for sure to preserve it, if you wanted to even collaborate on a video I think that would be really cool too to just reminisce about the mall
Ditto on the above comment. It’s nice to see a video like this from someone who went to the Galleria, not just someone who came after seeing in the news that it was closing. Also, Cyberstation was amazing! I’ve been trying to archive as many photos and info about the history of the Galleria as possible. Feel free to check it out if you want some nostalgia! silvercitygalleria.org
@@jmw535 I've been seeing alot of videos from people like you said who have never been there and it just does not feel the same, I'm for sure going to check out the site later I cant wait! Thanks for the comment
@@jmw535 Holeeeeeee, this site is incredible! The old logo!! Wow. Good on you man, This is real hero work here. A couple of years ago I recreated this end of the mall where Cyberstation was and put it back, this is in a 3D game engine. facebook.com/pg/cyberstation5745/photos/ (not sure if that will load, but there should be some photos of the mall using crude textures. :-) I might make a new comment with extended notes from this video. Thanks for sharing this.
I’m from Taunton, and the amount of memories that my friends and I have from things we’ve done here, all the way back from middle school to just last month as freshman in college this was definitely a big blow in the memories of all the good times we’ve had here
Thanks for sharing that, I follow your channel and see that you've shown some car meets that have happened here as well, sad to see that go away now too. Who knows what they will do with all these big empty lots, I know plenty of people have enjoyed doing some donuts in the parking lot for sure! They should have a race track set up for the fastest time around the mall now that would be something to see, hitting top speeds in your stylish yet race car 1996 honda civic banging rev limiter hearing that D16 single jingle be pushed to crazy speeds, and have everyone set up with bleachers and chairs around the track filming this event. But you better watch out because I heard that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that, he just went into Harry's, and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS. And a Motec exhaust!!!
Dominic&Noah Productions lol very true, I’ve been in multiple vehicles that have done drifting and burnouts in the galleria parking lots, I even was so popular to the security guards there that I earned a 6 month ban from the mall and have the paper to prove it which is a piece of history of the mall that I’ll never forget and a really entertaining memory I have from the mall
My greatest memories at Silver City was between 1996 - 2012. My favorite store was The Wall which was on the first floor and Spencers was right next to it. When Spencers was on the first floor it was a very small store. They moved upstairs in 2002 and when The Wall was bought out by Trans World (who owned Suncoast and Record Town, etc) the store name changed to FYE. They knocked down the wall and expanded FYE to the corner of the hall where Round 1 is. Round One was Steve & Barry's and before that it was Lechemere. My other favorite store was Suncoast. They were originally located on the first floor. I used to park my car, walk into the JC Penny enterance (the one near the Best Buy) and took a shortcut through JC Penny and when you walk into the mall leaving JC Penny, Suncoast was right on the right on the corner. Suncoast moved upstairs in 2001 that eventually turned into the Chinese sword store around 2007..KB Toys was another memory and next door was Sam Goody. I first went to Sam Goody in 1993 and I remember the pink and purple neon lights that were on the wall around the store. After Sam Goody left, it was used as a Toys R Us Express store during the months between August until January for the Christmas season. I also loved going to the original Yankee Candle store that was located on the 2nd floor and Claire's was right next to Yankee Candle. In 2012, Yankee moved down the hall, Claire's left and Regal Cinema took over those 2 stores spaces as part of the renovation. Another cool store was Vince's sports memorabilia that was located on the first floor next to Debbys Pet Land. And finally, a store ill always loved going to between 2000 to 2009 was Hallmark. They were located on the first and the cell phone place took that location over. In 2007 I noticed quite a few Hallmark stores that closed in Massachusetts. When I went to Silver City one day in 2007, I asked "You guys aren't closing are you?" and they said no, we're staying open.... Well ... that only lasted for 2 more years. It's so sad they are demolishing it. I go there everyday at around 1pm to sit in the parking lot where the Gatra buses go and I want to see where they rip down the food court mall enterance. The Sears building is gone and ill shed a tear when I see them tear down that mall enterance because that was my enterance from 1996 until it closed. Ill miss you Silver City Galleria!!
Nothing like staying out on the town late night with the crew eating some Burger King and dairy queen flexing on all the bitties with your new clothes you just grabbed from zumiez and champs, all while browsing the game selection at Gamestop and playing all the arcade games!!! What a time it was to be alive!!
One more thing I like to add. There was 1 other store in that mall that was called "We Got Whats Hot". It was located on the 2nd floor, ptobrably 2 stores after the DQ. I used to go that store alot in 2001 and 2002 before they I believe went out of business. They had nice leather jackets and great music items like t-shirts.
I only got to enjoy this mall for a few years but it was pretty cool and my dearly departed mother in law loved bourbon street grill so I’ll never forget this place . Sad to see it go tbh

The store off the escalator was The Gap. JC Penney was in that middle dead area. Next to Olympia to the left, at least in the late 90s was Bath and Body Works, then Express, then Structure, a men’s Express. Worked there in college. That was definitely a Payless. In the 90s, that store on the corner of the big area no one went was Wilson’s Leather. Gymboree and The Children’s Place were near there. Charlotte Russe was near Yankee Candle. That Unplugged place was H&M. My mom and I went to the opening of Filene’s before the mall even opened, right around this time of year in 1991. I was a freshman in high school. Oh, and a store next to KB Toys was Sam Goody waaaaayyyy back in the day. I remember waiting for concert tix in that weird lower level of Macy’s because Ticketmaster ran out of their offices. That was 2000-2001. That store with the motorcycle on the lower level was once Lane Bryant. Worked there too Did I just show my age?
I appreciate the detailed comment, no you didnt show any age to me, dont matter the age all that matters is the memories. I've heard rumors of the infamous filenes basement, was that a real place or just an underground hideout?!
@@Terrier-ms5ve I never had the experience of shopping down there before, when I used to go in the early 2000's it was always blocked off and then the floor was eventually covered, never saw the basement
So I just watched your video tour of the SCG and it was one of the better ones I use to work there and i couldn't remember half the stores either so don't feel bad I kinda wished I had grabbed my video camera and did a tour of this place like you did but you did a great job and thanks for the memories 😀
That mall was dead in 2010 and the owners did not even know it. Sbarros was the red and green tile place. I also thought there was a subway in the mall.
There was never a subway, but there was a Quizno's to the right of that Sbarro's at one point, before that it was "Surf and Turf", and original mall restaurant (from the day the mall opened I mean)
i remember going there as a kid walking through the macy’s to go to the fish store with my dad and going to get food and playing in playground in the food court. good times, sad to see it close.
Yep this is the status of it now, not sure how much longer they will stick around, hopefully long enough so I can revisit again! I just can't get enough of Camp Bucky, that slide is so much fun!!
I'm 6'4" and my girlfriend at the time was about 5'8". The thing had been open for a few weeks. I worked in Fall River and one of our assistants showed us caught in the crowd and the picture was a above the fold front page. Same thing in the Gazzette and Brockton Enterprise!
29:57 was Macy’s. I used to work at The Picture People right near it. Payless was between Macy’s and Picture People and the store right after Picture People was The Children’s Place.
It is now 2024 and for some reason, I was in the area recently and thi king, "OH hey, I'll check out the Galleria." Only to release it has been closed for a while now. Lol Then I'm trying to think/remember if I knew about this when it happened. Life does pass you by.
Not from Taunton I am from Dartmouth mall and Swansea main and 2rd mall I loved it ebgames and Babbage /gamestop and arcade and sam goody but Saturday matinees more but anyway went 5to 10 times there but once eb Games and then electric boutique open in swanseamall. I did not go as much games. Also lechmere store in 90s kay bee toys and food court and once movies main with Disney store few times and later 2000-2013 best buy and fye
When there is less then 8 stores in a decently sized mall and always empty parking lots all over the place besides round 1 and the movies, I'd say it safe to say about 80% of the mall is abandoned, soon to just be round 1, the movies and work out world only left
There's a few of these types of videos now from the Galleria, but this one is special in that you've actually been to the mall before, and from around here, which is very important to the narrative of something like this.

It was across the way from the food court, directly in-between the Spencers and the old Electronics Boutique/Gamestop. For anyone that ever sped Saturday nights there (it closed in April 2002), Round 1 has none of what makes Cyberstation special.
I ended up working in the arcade from 1997-1998, and it's my most fun job to date.
I bought all my video games at this mall, had my first date at the Ruby Tuesday's, went trick or treating with my little sister. Handed out candy on Halloween when I was working there, and seeing it in the state it's in is sad, but it's important that it get documented.

Thanks for the memories silver city galleria.
The store off the escalator was The Gap. JC Penney was in that middle dead area. Next to Olympia to the left, at least in the late 90s was Bath and Body Works, then Express, then Structure, a men’s Express. Worked there in college. That was definitely a Payless. In the 90s, that store on the corner of the big area no one went was Wilson’s Leather. Gymboree and The Children’s Place were near there. Charlotte Russe was near Yankee Candle. That Unplugged place was H&M.
My mom and I went to the opening of Filene’s before the mall even opened, right around this time of year in 1991. I was a freshman in high school. Oh, and a store next to KB Toys was Sam Goody waaaaayyyy back in the day.
I remember waiting for concert tix in that weird lower level of Macy’s because Ticketmaster ran out of their offices. That was 2000-2001.
That store with the motorcycle on the lower level was once Lane Bryant. Worked there too
Did I just show my age?
I appreciate the detailed comment, no you didnt show any age to me, dont matter the age all that matters is the memories. I've heard rumors of the infamous filenes basement, was that a real place or just an underground hideout?!
Very real. It was a little past the Best Buy entrance, and actually a basement! TJ Maxx was there too before it was revamped for BB
@@Terrier-ms5ve I never had the experience of shopping down there before, when I used to go in the early 2000's it was always blocked off and then the floor was eventually covered, never saw the basement
So I just watched your video tour of the SCG and it was one of the better ones I use to work there and i couldn't remember half the stores either so don't feel bad I kinda wished I had grabbed my video camera and did a tour of this place like you did but you did a great job and thanks for the memories 😀
That mall was dead in 2010 and the owners did not even know it. Sbarros was the red and green tile place. I also thought there was a subway in the mall.
Honestly there may have been at a point a subway but I really dont remember
There was never a subway, but there was a Quizno's to the right of that Sbarro's at one point, before that it was "Surf and Turf", and original mall restaurant (from the day the mall opened I mean)
There was a Subway. It was on the first floor right next to FYE on the corner. It didn't stay there long.
i remember going there as a kid walking through the macy’s to go to the fish store with my dad and going to get food and playing in playground in the food court. good times, sad to see it close.
Underwater world was the staple of this mall. Once that went I knew nothing good would come of it!
Oh this hurts. I spent a lot of time there when I was younger. 😣
Good vid, thanks.
Inside starts 13:35
Thank you for sharing this video i wondered what this place looked like
Yep this is the status of it now, not sure how much longer they will stick around, hopefully long enough so I can revisit again! I just can't get enough of Camp Bucky, that slide is so much fun!!
22:35. Listen to that music in the background, nostalgic.
R.I.P Silver City
HAH oh wow
I'm 6'4" and my girlfriend at the time was about 5'8". The thing had been open for a few weeks. I worked in Fall River and one of our assistants showed us caught in the crowd and the picture was a above the fold front page. Same thing in the Gazzette and Brockton Enterprise!
29:57 was Macy’s. I used to work at The Picture People right near it. Payless was between Macy’s and Picture People and the store right after Picture People was The Children’s Place.
That wetzels pretzels was originally Annie’s pretzels
They be good pretzels either way am I right my man
Sad. Used to go to this mall too! I was so upset to hear it close and now it's getting demolished
Cool I think my childhood mall will be closed too eventually 😥
Man thanks for the video, your memory must be shot. 😅 You were about 25% accurate. 😂
Bro, could you say anything even better?
I spent a lot of weekends at this mall in middle and high school '08-'13 with friends. It was one of the better malls in the SE Mass area.
I'm the former director of security there, place was depressing
It is now 2024 and for some reason, I was in the area recently and thi king, "OH hey, I'll check out the Galleria." Only to release it has been closed for a while now. Lol
Then I'm trying to think/remember if I knew about this when it happened.
Life does pass you by.
I remember shopping at Deb's a lot, it was where that bouncy house place is in this video.
excellent work
Thank you bomb, your work has been rather excellent lately as well!
Solid Taunton Gem
Only the finest and biggest gems are in Taunton, you gotta grab opportunity by the gems and just send it!
Ya this is definitely a gem send
Nice job!!!
Thank you fishmac! You really came in the clutch here with pointing out all those places in the comments, your the real MVP!!
29:53 was Macys. You were looking right at it when you were outside, lol
36:24
Oh man the Fuji Chen lady! The most aggressive free samples ever
29:51 Second floor entrance For Macy's
How is it Westgate is still open and that place is empty
I'll never forget you fuji chen lady ❤❤
26:25 it used to be American eagle store there . When you pass the jewelry store .
Do u remember the foot locker ? It used be before spencer.
28:25 That Bertucci's has been closed for a couple years.
18:16 I think the restaurant on the left was Ground Round.
correct, original mall restaurant when it opened in '92, same right Ruby's on the right, original mall restaurant.
Was that an occ chopper???
Oh, Round One waaayyyy back was Lechmere. Ask your parents
My parents told me not to talk to strangers, also they are currently lost at sea right now...
I worked at the Hickory Farms there one Cheistmas
Should have interviewed those kids!!
Big Boy Toy's where Round 1 is now
Thanks Willy Wonka, me and grandpa joe were happy to meet you
And that stand to the right of bourbon street grill was Brigham’s
Not from Taunton I am from Dartmouth mall and Swansea main and 2rd mall I loved it ebgames and Babbage /gamestop and arcade and sam goody but Saturday matinees more but anyway went 5to 10 times there but once eb
Games and then electric boutique open in swanseamall. I did not go as much games. Also lechmere store in 90s kay bee toys and food court and once movies main with Disney store few times and later 2000-2013 best buy and fye
24:55 Second floor entrance to JC Penny
yep, JC Penney was the anchor store in the center.
It used to be J. C. Penny , a total Mandela effect with the extra e now.
Could have sold that Juul and bought some pax 😂
Dang man that is so true, where the heck were you when I passed that and the Burger King card up? I'm slacking on that hustle
I want that giraffe!!!
Now all that's left is to turn it into the new Silver City Dump.
"Technically abandoned" Do we know what abandoned means? It's still open.
When there is less then 8 stores in a decently sized mall and always empty parking lots all over the place besides round 1 and the movies, I'd say it safe to say about 80% of the mall is abandoned, soon to just be round 1, the movies and work out world only left
Have you got over there to film the demolition
I have not, maybe ill stop by
No front plate tisk tisk that's a ticket young man
Haven't had a front plate for over 6 years now never had an issue, bumper does not have any holes drilled for said plate as it is
22:28 Entrance to Best Buy.
13:10 Are you thinking of Steve & Barry's?
Yes he is, purveyors of cheaply made University-knockoff clothing. Before that it was Lechmere, where I got my original PlayStation 1.
Cyberstation 5745 and it used to be a pump n jump but now it’s a round one
2:40 Burtucci's was at the next entrance in your vid.
Thanks man, need the people like you in the comments to share what information I may have mixed up or said wrong because I just cant remember it all
Yes, that first entrance contained Ground Round and Ruby Tuesday's.
19:18 Travel agents I believe.
right again, Liberty Travel, original mall store.
Shoes make the man
25:53 The Gap?
FISHMAC the last store there before it closed was Track 23
FISHMAC knows their shit. This was The Gap, baby gap right next to it.
How does this guy not know of Victoria Secret still exists lol
39:32 I think that was an Orange Julius for the longest time.
correct, they're owned by the same corporate ownership and you could get both products at this one location, it was dual-branded.
That Asian woman was very polite and humble I m talking between 2002 and 2008 . I used to get the strawberry shake from there .
KB toys😭😭😭😭
