  • DEAD MALL: Colonial Park Mall - Harrisburg, PA. Enjoy a walk through this old mall which may very well be closing soon. The mall recently went up for auction online with a starting bid of $2.1 million. The future of the mall is in the hands of the new owner once the auction is finalized.

    An awesome video, Wallie! 👍👍👍👍 One of my sisters lived in Harrisburg, PA for 15 years. In the very early 1990s I went to Harrisburg to visit with my sister and I went to the Colonial Park Mall while visiting my sister. I really liked the Colonial Park Mall and the mall was really thriving at the time I was visiting my sister. My sister doesn't live in Harrisburg, PA anymore. She resides up in northern Maine.

    Been following you for a long time Wallie and I'll say this, this is getting pretty scary the rate all these malls are closing I fear by 2030 we won't have any malls left to go to and that would be a darn shame.

    It was such a a nice mall. No one shops at them anymore. Park City in Lancaster still has traffic but even it is going to be redeveloped as a mixed use property. Strange to think of a time when there weren't malls. They decimated city centers and now they're all going to die as well.

    I'm wondering if the same company that owns this mall owned the chapel hill mall in akron ohio too many similar things such as not paying the utilities and letting the properties run to the ground

    Im in central PA and we pretty much only have Logan Valley mall (Altoona) and then there's Nittany Mall (state college) which nittany mall might as well be closed down as it has next to nothing. Sadly we lost Lycoming mall ( muncy) awhile back but had fond memories of it .

    Some really good aesthetics! The planters, the pillars, the title, and that fountain!! You can really tell it's a 60s era mall around the back.

    I was never a big fan of the Colonial Park Mall. I used to frequent the Capital City Mall in Camp Hill. I remember Colonial Park being run down at one point and then they revamped it and it really looked nice. But good looks only get you so far with crappy owners/management.

      Yep malls never learned how to compete with online stores. That's what happens when you refuse to evolve and adapt. You fade away.

    The only mall left in the Harrisburg area is the Capital City mall. That one is oddly still bustling with a packed parking lot during peak hours. The area as a whole is growing more than almost every other part of the state. It's just malls are a dying breed that can't sustain themselves in the current environment. They never adapted and evolved.

    I live pretty close to this mall and it’s dead nothing ever goes on in here I think they need to knock down the mall and put in a walmart cause there is only one in the harrisburg area and its overly crowded
