When I watch these videos I always think they should try to find footage from inside the mall when it was going, just random video somebody recorded inside during its hayday. and while you exploring it, try to find that exact spot, set on it for just a second, and cut into the footage you found of people walking, everything going on. and then cut back into the exploring footage. It would be like a few seconds of viewing the past from where you stood.

This is just heartbreaking to watch. I spent SO much time there in the 80s and 90s. Then I worked there for 2 years, and eventually bought my engagement ring there. Then we brought my daughter there to see Santa and look at the balloons while drinking Orange Julius. It actually physically hurts to see what has happened to the place. It almost feels better knowing it's being torn down, instead of being left in this state.

It's a shame Metro North mall is gone. I was a teen in the late 70s early 80s, and went to the mall all the time. It was great being able to walk around inside when the weather was bad outside. They even had a movie theater. I worked at one of the shops for a short time; it was upstairs on one of the corners (possibly the corner at 04:59). It was called The Cookie Factory.

It had some good eats and good stores. It offered numerous public performances for families to participate. It also drew large crowds from all over the metro area. Unfortunately, it failed due to the owner's mismanagement, not from lack of patrons. Sad. Really sad.

This is Metro North Mall in Kansas City, Missouri. It's set to be demolished in only a few weeks. What's strange to me is that the mall has only been closed since 2014. Even though at the point of its closure it only had two open stores remaining, the state of dilapidation and decay of the building looks far worse than just two years of neglect. Vandals played a role in that for sure, but still.

The weather played a huge role as well. Missouri has huge swings in temperature from blazing summer heat to bitter cold winters. The frost thaw cycle can cause metal to warp and break glass if their is there is no thermal expansion gaps between the metal and the glass. This could have broken the indoor escalators.

I wholeheartedly agree! Zona Rosa did ruin Metro North. Zona may be overpriced, and it may have a short time that it is really active. But, since Zona opened. I watched Metro go from a bustling mall to what you see in Seph's video here. If you walk Zona Rosa at any given time, you will nearly get hit NUMEROUS times by some punk in their riced out Honda booming loud bass. Or, some older person trying to find the nearest place to park their insanely huge luxury car. This is the second mall in the area that has fallen to other shopping centers. I have not only watched Metro, but Antioch meet the same fate. The only real malls around now are Independence Center and Oak Park Mall. Be it as it may, Zona was the complete and utter downfall of one of the better malls in the KC area.

Being born in 1999, Metro North is full of strange memories for me. I only remember the opulence vaguely, the hot air balloons and jewelry stores. By the time that I was forming real, lasting memories it was emptying out. By the time that it was being torn down, I had moved. Looking back on photos of it and videos like these pulls at strings in the back of my head, making me feel half-remembered memories. It's strange.

Ahhhh. Metro North Mall in Kansas City, Missouri. During the Christmas season this mall was packed with people. At the big fountain in the center of the mall, I can remember the hot air balloons that would rise to the ceiling and then gently float back down again. There were 5 or 6 huge stairs that led down to the big fountain. I remember racing down those stairs as a child. I ran too fast once and actually fell into that fountain. In my teenage and young adult years, this was the place to hang out. But, the mall was mostly dead for the last 10 years or so of its existence. The mall was finally demolished in 2018/2019 to make way for some luxury apartments, retail shops and restaurants. Everything is supposed to open in the fall of 2021.

Yet the Mall was left standing as a reminder of the dead images and objects of things craved and held up upon high and how quickly it's turns to ruin, emptiness, colourless, and upon deeper understanding- meaningless. These were the ideas and impressions l felt whilst watching this video. Though the primary impression l felt was - all things large and small eventually fade , crumble , and are gone.

Where is this at? Why would they just leave a mall like this go to ruins? Were they going to build something else? Great video by the way! I love fact you're not talking and it just seemed so spooky!

So sad! I remember doing all my shopping at Metro North. My mom would buy me Topsy's popcorn and an Orange Julius and we'd sit on the stairs and watch the balloons. It was a tradition. Even if we only went to one store, we had to get a snack and watch the balloons.

Shelby Lemon So glad DQ brought Orange Julius back, had so many of those in our mall when I was a kid.. But no one, including me, has ever been able to replicate the old pizza dogs.

I grew up here! I got my 1st Modeling job @ METRO. 💖 I worked @ The Merry Go Round (2 COOL clothing!), & KELSO'S PIZZA SHOPPE. Every Friday was METRO: MOVIE, PIZZA, COOKIE, SOUR BALLS, ARCADE. When I was 14 & my Parents were out, me, my baby Sis & Friends got a CAB to go to & from METRO NORTH b4 Mom & Dad got home! When I was 20, the HPAC AUTO CLUB hosted CAR SHOWS there. My Daddy (RIP), Brother & I were Members...in our HOT ROD MOPARS, we'd hit the SHOW at METRO! So much more...I wish I could go there one more time. FOND, FUN MEMORIES, METRO! LUV YOU!!! THX 4 THE MEMORIES! XXX💖💖💖

Hard to say if Metro North Mall fell into worser shape, or Rolling Acres Mall. I worry Lincoln will start to fall into this shape, in only a matter of time. :( Wish Lincoln Mall could get repurposed somehow, but I doubt it will. And someone should've rescued that Montgomery Ward sign, inside this mall!

Just so creepy it's been abandoned I read somewhere that the owners didn't have the money for the repairs so why own it if you cant afford to keep it going

I watch these abandoned videos all the time and I was only maybe 30 seconds in like “That looks like Metro” now im like - 5:27 I believe that was Gadzooks! Is that even still a Business? This is Metro North Mall. It’s in Kansas City Missouri. All that’s left now is a Macy’s. Idk how but they managed to get the whole mall down but leave Macys unharmed (which is attached) this place was the best part of my childhood. Sad. It’s gone. But whatever we have Zona I guess. 🤦🏽♀️

Huh. How amazing I brought Dan Bell here 3 months ago and was told by security I had to pay $200 or a pound of weed to get in. Diego was his name. So we didn't get in. How did you bypass security?

The last vestiges of America 's conspicuous consumption. I'll bet the marketing people didn't even see it coming. After the 80's and 90s came the Great Recession and with this the rise of technology. Young families in America had to work 2 jobs each just to survive, after day care pick ups and food shopping, they were too burned out and tired to haul ass through a mall. After 2008 the jobs were gone for good, replaced by heroin, gangs, and children having to stay on their parents medical plan until they were 26.

When I was going up, this was the mall to go to. I remember I got my first pair of J's their, and seeing santa. This was the first of about 40 or 50 malls I went to. I was very sad to drive by and see it sitting there like the park in New Orleans.
