    I live in Whitehall where the mall is located. Been here all my life. This place still gets packed! I actually avoid it because I hate crowds. Used to ride my bike there in the 80s when spaceport arcade was there. Good times! I could spend the whole day there on five bucks😊

    I was there yesterday, a bit slow but definitely not dead. I saw just one store closed up and that was a Christmas themed store.

    I live in Lehigh valley, it’s a pretty good mall. There is an Apple Store on the exterior mall space. You missed the Dunderbachs German restaurant on lower level next to macys. Good bratwurst and lots of beer to choose from. Love ur vid, keep up the great work and take care. Go Phills!!!!!

    Im at this mall often, it's not dead and if your there on a weekend it's still full of people. No empty locations is a clear indication. The place is hopping especially during the holiday seasons. It's just like it was 30 yrs ago. Thankfully. You must have gone either during midweek or early in the morning

    That mall has changed a bit since I was last in it, perhaps 2006. I saw two youths get busted for shoplifting at the Macy’s entrance facing Route 22. As I was walking in, some undercover agents nabbed them and their getaway car sped off.

    This is not in any way shape or form a dead mall. If it were, The Cheesecake Factory would never have opened here. Also there is an Apple Store. While there are more independent stores, there is a very little empty spaces.

      The Pearle Vision that was on the right across from the pizza place when he first walked in was where the old Time Out arcade used to be. It closed in the mid 2000s I think. I used to work there in the late 90s/early 2000s.

    This at one time was a great mall with great shoppers and employees. I have never seen anything change so drastically for the worse. Around the beginning of 2002 this mall got really bad and dangerous as it's getting worse. I guess the good news is people are still coming and spending money but it's the bad crowd
