    Multi level food court was AMAZING!! The gorgeous fountain brought life to the center of the mall with trees. It was INCREDIBLE. Then they ruined it by removing it. It looked like a park in the middle. I’m sure it was expensive to take care of but damn it was unlike any mall.

      It breaks my heart to see photos of malls back in the day compared to now. Just like everything, they don't make them like they used to.

    It really was a magical place back in the day. It's been really sad watching it decline.

    I’ve been to this mall dozens of times, and I wish I could be able to experience it in its prime. Really hope some of the new places and renovations kick the mall back into gear a little bit. Awesome vid.

    They are supposed to be bringing back roller skating and that should hopefully help out the mall

    I grew up going to this mall! Kept going back over the years and watched the stores disappear one by one. Used to be an amazing mall in the 80s..the roller rink was the main bday spot for most of us kids living nearby, I lived in Cayuga. So many great memories...it was such a warm place. I was there as recently as a couple years ago, has a creepy feel but is still very nostalgic.

    Never have been the biggest fan of malls but something a tad different with this one as it is "appealing"....👍👍👍

    This mall seems to still have a lot of its originality to it.

    Dude this is such a beautiful mall!! Fantastic vid, I really hope to see this one for myself one day!

      It was amazing, easily one of my favorite fountains I've seen. I really hope they do keep it as-is. Outdoor type de-mallings are a mistake, especially in places that have winter weather.

      Absolutely worth the trip! Dragged my partner along for the hour ride and got some incredibly liminal pics. I’m sure you’d capture it beautifully as per usual! Love your content.

    My childhood mall.
    Every ten years or so it feels like it might make a comeback but the rumor around town is that the owner doesn’t give a shit because he lives down in NYC and wants it as a tax write off, so none of the local businesses that move rhere can afford the rent to revitalize the place

      Back in the 80’s, it was THE place to be on Friday and Saturday nights.

    What day and time did you record all this empty mall footage? IE: Monday morning would look a lot different than Saturday at 3 pm.

    Never even knew this existed. I lived in Skaneateles until 1977. The closest mall was Fairmont Fair back then.

      Fairmount Fair, the strip mall on West Genesee St in Syracuse?

    Par for the course in Auburn. A dead mall in a dead hopeless town. People are getting out of Auburn in droves, people are fed up with paying for the drug addicts and scummers that refuse to work who plague the town. One day Bass Pro will get it together and leave, then they can bulldoze the place.

    4 years because of C19? Only in a blue state. Beyond ridiculous

      They legitimately just forgot to take the signs down, as a local the place is so severely understaffed that over half of the stores are ran by the same guy running between them and I wish I was kidding
