  • Hey Explorers, in today's video we are going to be exploring Northland Mall in Southfield, Michigan. This mall was amazing and still had the power on in some parts! Hope you guys enjoy. As of 2024, the mall has been fully gutted and plans are underway to redevelopment the site into some type of outdoor shopping center. Don't forget to like and subscribe

    There goes my childhood. So many memories. I bought one of my first Prince records. There also may be a public enemy record. It was one of the first places I was allowed to go on the bus by myself. I think that we should take old malls and turn them into generation X nursing homes. With a orange Julius and a Clair’s and a foot locker lol

    my mom's side of the family's family name is Cochrane. i know it's not exactly the same as Mckenzie's last name, but it's still pretty dang close. literally just 1 letter off.
    on an unrelated note; yes i am related to the singer Tom Cochrane. he's my 2nd cousin once removed.

    Too bad that it couldn't be turn into apartment complex for lower income families. It would be great instead of tearing it down.

      So ive talked about this extensively with people, and ultimately the reason this is never done is because its astronomically more expensive to bring dilapidated buildings to health code standards and also restructure them completely into housing units. That would include laying down new electrical networking and completely rehauling the plumbing to outfit individual bathrooms.
      Ultimately its far cheaper and more economical to demolish and rebuild.

    My favorite store at that mall was max green. And I like that one little jewelry store on the north entrance westside wing.
    To finish high school when my mother cheated on. My father was a black dude who lived in Southfield, Michigan. And we lived in Ferndale, Michigan.
    In order for me to keep going to my high school. I would have to wake up extra early.
    I would have to walk down mada between 8 mile and 9 mile.
    I have stories for real that eminem never had.
    So I would walk that quarter mile to get to evergreen. And I would have to make a choice. Do I want to ride the suburban bus or the city bus?
    Every day I had a choice that I could walk a 1/2. Mile North or a 1/2 mile South.
    But either way, I had to get to northland mall at the bus depot in the parking lot of the east side on greenfield.
    And as a kid, I would have to wait there for a transfer bus to take me to woodward. Smart or d dot.
    Once again, I could choose 9 mile or 8 mile. But either way, my school was on Pinecrest in Ferndale. 3 cities away.
    I have to get out of southfield, Go through oak park, Royal oak township And at the border of township is ferndale where my high school is.
    I also had to have a job. It was mandatory to live with my mother and her jerk new husband.
    So I would have to go from Ferndale back to northland transfer. Get to evergreen ride evergreen to 11 mile and I worked at Arbor drugs on 11 mile.
    I had to do that five days a week.
    No time for a life.
    And gangster music was really huge at the time.
    This was 1990-94.
    Some of the best times ever, but also the most increasingly with gang activity and violence.
    Eight mile was littered with gang activity that just came out of nowhere.
    I still say it was government inspired because it was all appropriate. That gang squads popped up at the same time.
    Anyways I got involved in all of that because I was sick of my life. I was sick of my mother, her wicked husband they also had 2 more kids in front of me and they had no plan to finish my development.
    So I turned into a gangster rough neck wrapper before m and m ever came to michigan. And that son of a bitch gets the claim of eight mile when he's not even from here. What kind of stories does Eminem have of northland mall? There's not 1 video or song or a comment on your page.
    Anyways as I get older. I get grumpier. 😅😅😅

      @@andyesho7494 My mom used to be a waitress at the Phoenix restaurant in the 80s.Right on 9 mile and Coolidge. That's my first introduction to oak park.
      Then we used to go on bike rides all the way from the grand trunk railroad tracks from Ferndale right?Where I grew up the 4th street from 8 mile and we would go on these night.Rides with june bugs hitting us in the face and we had little generators on our wheels and the headlights lit up like a old nineteen forty's car and I miss those days.
      I missed the sound of the large light bulbs that we used to have for street lights and they would buzz.
      I remember that old train for the playground at the oak park park and it is still there today.
      I also remember one of the coolest toy stores on the planet was right there at 9 mile and Greenfield, and my eyes would light up when the parents said.We're going to look for a place set.I said oh my gosh!!! And 1 year my parents bought the return of the jedi tower.It's a real tower that 8 feet off the ground and I'm the only person I know that ever had.That damn return of the jedi tower for 400.00 My dad cement Into the ground and I rode that speeder bike and crushed my fingers between the parallel bars so many times.
      I even climbed at the top of the tower and fell off flat on my back and lost all My wind and was stuck for like 10 minutes.Trying to see if i'm still alive And like little ralphie and the christmas story hoping that my parents did not catch my mistake because They would then destroy the tower.
      My last experience with oak park It's when I joined the crip gang when they were taking over hazel park ferndale warren And oak park. It originated out of oak park for the eight mile - 10 miles east sets

      @@andyesho7494 My favorite jewelry location was the Greenfield plaza tower and that would happen to elevator and I used to do shady things man.I have to be honest I would scam those jewelers. I used to know how to stop the elevator and hide on the top of it and wait until they closed the building down. Lolol. My favorite jewelry store for buying jewelry was lew diamond and silver across the street next to the coney. He always had the biggest pieces.I always wanted a bigger piece than I ever saw on yo m t v wraps. Back then, the chain of my dreams was only around $5000 1993.
      Today that chain is $50000. I should have got it then. That's a down payment. On something nice as a trade or just keep holding it and let it be a legacy chain that passes generation to generation and have ever reciled one of them from every line in the blood line. Be a poet and tell stories like me. So that life continues forever with this internet. That keeps our legacies alive because the government won't.. The music.
      Industry and movie industry won't so it has to be done in different ways.
