Eerie Lakeside Mall: Unexpected Toys R Us Revival

- Largest Michigan mall built in 1976 along M-59 in Sterling Heights Michigan. Built by Alfred Taubman and Homart. A place where families from all over would come, Christmas shop , spend time together, and make memories. Now’s it’s slowly but surly on its way to be redeveloped. Join me in gandering what’s left of this once big time mall!
man, i love watching videos about malls, it's so interesting how they're completely packed at one point then the years go by and they just get closed down or near being closed down
I’m glad you enjoy these kind of videos, more coming soon! When I think back to how they used to be on top of the world at one point in time now they’re just a shell of what was something popular.

Lakeside is sooo eerie. Parts of Macomb too. It’s pretty sad. The only one that’s busy nearby is Somerset… I guess only rich people can afford to shop for fun in this economy?? Or maybe it’s a social thing. Who knows.
Yeah, I remember that part of Macomb county was the upcoming place. It boomed then started falling off. It’s sad to see 🥺
Spoiler alert: Every mall in America looks like this.
No not really, there’s one in Auburn Hills, MI. Great Lakes crossing outlets. That one’s decently busy. There’s one down the road from this mall called Partridge Creek Mall, that one is decently busy. Have a great day though!
@@Just-ZacBut other than those two, it seems like ALL THE MALLS in the Detroit metro-area are all pretty much dead or gone (much like most of Detroit is, I guess...) Which is sad because one of the malls _[Northland Center]_ was actually considered the first modern suburban shopping mall in the nation when it opened ALL THE WAY BACK in 1954; and was also Victor Guren's first gig or shopping center he ever designed.
He (Guren) also designed Southdale Center, the first fully-enclosed regional/mega mall, in the nation that opened back in 1956; which may ALSO be the oldest currently still operating (with maybe the exception of _Cross Country Center_ in Yonkers, NY and a couple other minor ones; but that's an open-air center).
@@Just-ZacAlso more to add to this comment: I think Partridge Creek Mall (despite it being an open-air mall) is kinda struggling a bit as well lately. They already lost two major anchor tenants a couple years ago; but at least they're trying their best to stay afloat. I wish I could have said the same thing about this one in the video...
Nope
That’s because Detroit as a city is dead. Woodfield in Schaumburg IL is buzzing, Oakbrook Mall buzzing. Lots of Chicagoland malls still packed
I still have millions a photos with me bang on the carousel yep it was fun while it lasted
Yeah my parents have photos from its hay day, sad seeing what it was and where it’s at now! Just have to remember it how it once was!
Went downhill since they shut down the carousel

Just another dead mall. Nothing new. All malls used to be packed but no more. I never liked malls. Just went top the major department stores and not inside much.
Are there any anchor stores left on a mall near you? I saw a JCPenny today and I was taken back for minute lol.
@@Just-ZacThey’re usually the last to leave, if anything
@@lapielazoolie this one’s had different ones come and go. These last few remaining I’d imagine have to be just hanging on by a thread.
