Malls were fun to go to, especially when my husband and I had small kids. The holidays were so festive and you'd come across your neighbors doing their Christmas shopping. I wouldn't trade those days for anything!

Those japanese photo booths are are called Purikura. They are popular with high school girls and some arcades ban males from entering the floors with them on them. One thing i love about living in Japan is the fact the malls are still popular here.

So sad to see mall's shut down for online shopping and walmart. And very sad to see abandoned places get trashed. When I was growing up in the 80's-early 90's malls were my hangout place, a place to have lunch at the food court, or see a movie, or buy a new pair of shows, etc. We had it good in the 80's. Even though I can't go back to the 80's I thank you for taking us back to eras lost to time/decay. For 20 mins-1 hour the time capsule video's you record and post here not only pull at our nostalgia strings but also teach us history and remind us of simpler times of better times. I'm glad you and your friend made it out of the mall without getting caught. Sad how in 1 year ppl/time destroyed the mall. 👍

After a bit of research, it turns out that the dress (worn at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival and designed by Catherine Walker) was a part of a charity tour called the "Legacy of Love" put on by a U.S cable TV station called Romance Classics and The May Department Stores Company. The tour, which was originally named "A Dress to Di For" before her passing, displayed a number of her dresses at various shopping malls across the country and even ran a contest where someone could win one of Diana's gowns.

@@thestars386depending on how you see it. The reason online shopping became more popular than actually retail is because of availability, more of what you want is available online than in actual stores. Imagine driving all the way to the mall and then not having what you want or they do but a size smaller. Now with online it shows store availability (which is almost always low) which doesn’t do retail any favors also. We can blame online shopping as much as we want but it’s like these corporations have neglected retail to a certain degree as well with lowering retail supply

Malls were such an integral part of my life for many decades. I even managed a couple of clothing stores in one when I lived in Illinois. I hired many of the local teens for part-time jobs. A shame to see them close down one by one. I don't like ordering online. I prefer to try on my clothes before purchase and shoes are a must to try on. I've spent a ton of $ on returns. Sad to see this way of life go by the wayside. Thanks for the tour.

Absolutely stunning exploration of the Eastland mall. The way this video was pieced together was impeccable. I thought something was wrong with my eyes because seeing the interior concourse lights still on was fascinating on it's own as all the exploration videos I've seen prior to yours showed that the power was cut to the mall except for the side that had the learning academy. Nothing screamed a contrast difference between what a year did to this mall. There's nothing more destructive than people, and the proof is also in steeplegate mall. However interesting to note, 2 weeks ago, some guys went in, and strangely, all the stuff that was trashed in the walkways in-between the shops had been swept into the open shops, so all that trashed stuff are in the in line tenant stores with the walkways swept clean. Even the people that entered was in confusion over why someone would be cleaning up the walkways. Awesome video Rick

Crazy how fast vacant malls get torn up. Shit, Greenspoint Mall in Houston was heavily vandalized and looted this year. The interior mall officially closed in August. Mall entrance glass doors and windows are boarded up with the damage beginning in 2023. Getting access to the inside may be worth your trouble. The mall has tons of leaks, and the old Macy's building is open to walk right into.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2280">38:00</a> I sold an air hockey and helped another person sell an arcade full of games to Akiba Arcade back in 2018. They were located on the northeast side of the mall. Snow Phoenix, a Japanese arcade machine importer, stored their machines in this mall during that time. They vend to conventions and bring arcade machines to them so they would store them here. I have been in that room and it was FILLED with machines. Interesting that they still have things left, but all of that stuff looks like it could be tossed other than Rolling XTreme and the skeeball. I would love to buy them.

Interesting to note, this mall didn't entirely fail economically. It ultimately closed because of structural problems, it did have a thriving small business niche for about a decade. It's even more weird because I know for a fact that it had issues with organized crime, robbery and human trafficking since at least the late 90s, before Easton was officially opened. People always thought Eastland would be first to close and City Center to be last one standing until the great recession.
