- Rina Nakano reports from San Bernardino where city officials have moved forward with a plan to demolish the long-abandoned Carousel Mall, which closed its doors in 2017.
I feel after they demolish the place, there wont be any construction. It’ll be a empty, vacant lot for years.
parking lot for the raves
what a shame, such a nicely design mall gone to waste
Exactly... can't compare to inland center.
@@claudiialove8552 the inland center is trash
I had a lot of good times at that mall 😌 sad to see my mall going down 😔 best mall to go as a kid and I miss Chinese restaurant that was the main mall that made San Bernardino😔😔😔💖💖💖💖
Is This Jason, R ?
Same here, but i now live in georgia. 80s and 90s was the best years in cali
Obama was there after the shooting
@@tirellv4938 San Bernardino change a whole lot
Why bother, just turn the damn thing into a massive homeless shelter.
My thoughts exactly.
They need to just nuke that area
The mall was torn down 😮🎉
Mystical flute man is going to have to find a new spot 😔
Lmao 😂😂😂 bro that dude is like a freaking side quest character
Do not demolish it. Repair it and Make the Area alot nicer More Security. Get the place in shape.
Inland center mall already exists literally 1 minute away there's no way they're gonna have 2 malls that close to eachother operating in a city like San bernardino.
@@Omen465 before this close they did
San Bernardino is such an ugly city but you can tell that at some point in the past it was beautiful. So sad what government and people with no pride did to that place.
Live here and I feel the same. Extremely ghetto but sometimes the beauty shines through and you can see remnant's of how the city was before. Grew up in it already ghetto but it is still my city and I will have love for it
And houses are selling over $350k insane I rent here but wouldn’t want to buy here a bunch of drug addicts
Unable to control the gangs and homeless people in the City of San Bernardino has made it tough on everyone. I work a block away from the mall . I have been in a violent armed robbery and hsd my car broken into 5 times ! Eveytime you go to get gas or fast food some "sketchy" Psychotic homeless person approaches you asking for money ! Where I work, the homeless folk climb on to the roof to sleep at night ! Welcome to Zombie City ! Do you really want to go shopping at a nice mall full of "Gangstas" and homeless folk ? Want to "Duke it out" in the parking lot ? Wow ! Fux the potholes in the streets. Police the gangs and homeless folk and San Bernardino will make a come back ! It us a nice town it's time to take to take it back ! Psychotic homeless folk belong at Patton State Hospital where they can get help and not on the streets ! 😑
And the question is why.
@@tirellv4938 and the question is why not?
I'm going to agree to disagree. At times, most homeless aren't a issue.
Nooo... 😑. why can't they reopen as a mall?. I live In san bernardino and the mall we have here, inland center (if you can call that a mall) is horrible, you can tell that place is dying. Many of us who live in san bernardino grew up going to carousel mall. I still really believe In my heart that this can be revived as a mall. 🙏😊
It's about time that building should've been gone 10 plus years ago and we need to build something that the city can get around like it's terrible having a big vacant building downtown even though I loved it as a kid it needs to go
It's So many issues in the City from the medical field to the school boards to the police this city is courrpt beyond belief it's California tho not really too many perfect standards for the people in power to live up too I Just hope One day they realize the people's voice matter's not the money you get for allowing things to happen behind closed doors Destroying the mall is taking away memories of thousands of people
My precious childhood memories gone forever
The Central City Mall....I remember hanging out there in the 90s....
A sad sign of the times.
I remember reading an article that about 1 out of 4 malls nationwide will be demolished with-in 5 years?!
25% is mind boggling... all that material going to recycling plants and landfills! 🤤
I miss the 70's and 80's when going to the MALL was a normal activity. Going online to Amazon is f*****g boring!
You don't get the same feel...
No music, no foodcourt, no organ stores, no hanging out by a fountain, no kids rides, etc.
I want to time travel back for a weekend- have a Slurpee, check out the latest albums at Wherehouse records, buy a poster, may be see a matinee movie when popcorn had REAL butter! 😋🤗
in reference to the new developers plans. they said the development will include housing "some market rate, some affordable". What she meant to say was "Mostly luxury priced, some at the highest price that can legally be classified as affordable" lol
If they just build affordable housing they won’t make any money that’s why the government needs to buy it from them and they become the landlords
Good. No cheap housing.
San Antonio River walk in downtown sanbernardino is beginning to speed up. It's been planned for about 15 yrs now give or take, I worked for a major supplier for 20yrs, I heard all about the plans to supply the development. Get yo shit right or yes you won't be able to afford it
Sad to say but hopefully that will be a good thing. As it may attract more desirable people. At the same time those who can afford it may not want to move to San Bernardino due to the cities reputation.
I remember working at Starwood inside Carousel Mall
San Bernardino is in an interesting situation
Investors flocked to buy homes at 200k-300k and reselling to about 375k-475k
And strangely enough people are buying ! this means in order to income qualify you should be making any where from 100k-150k a year
Investors are even busier and greedier if they are near the UC Riverside campus for housing.
So what about Harris? It’s a Historic Landmark
I hope Harris’-Gottchalks isn’t demolished. Was a lovely department store. And Woolworth’s used to be on the northeastern corner back in the day. Thrash and Windjammer were fun shops across the street.
it'll be demolished and be a vacant lot for decades. Decades!!!
It was never about the “bad people” it was just more people saw more things open and got more hype and chose to go there. The Inland Center Mall is gonna go down soon I bet.
Example problem within sectors, 5-years/calendars consecutive, prolongibg agony, also magnet for problems mentioned. Seen other sectors decisively complete commercial shopping centers within 2/3 time duration. 5-consecutive calendars placing this as secondary priority. 60+ months looking like a gene autry waste land, when within 2.5-calendars a city tax revenue new place, with local residents shopping, eating. Really gratifying progress
Flatten ALL of San Berdoo
Except for the pile of dirt with the flag on top near the freeway 🤣🤣
lol no you didnt.
☹☹☹☹☹☹☹
Did they ever finish fixing the roads by this damn mall yet? Roads been shit longer than this been vacant. At least this has good memories attached for ppl.
Glad I got to experience this mall as a kid .. I’ll always love San Bernardino no matter how far I go.
that place is an eye sore. they should do something about the empty hotel across the street aswell.
Woooow... my grandma use to take me school shopping every year at the Montgomery Wards. My grandpa would drop us off. This place was special to me as a child. Sad they let it get so bad. ❤
How much money are the city managers will put in Puckett with this demolition... They will be the beneficiated
They should literally put up a statue of Mystical Flute Man and BxD having a cheech sesh.
Finally some news!!
NERO'S PALACE would look nice there.
It’s still their
This is the second group to "take over" this project this year. In Feb they announced this and then they re announced another group in July. Every year it's another group who takes over and wants to demolish it but does nothing and then a new bid begins. 🙄
Just make it all houses we don't need restaurants we don't need a panda express we don't need a Starbucks we need affordable housing. Not an auto shop or some bullshit yoga studio just housing.
Yes, housing would be good for the economy.
Carousel mall was already going down hill in the late 80’s.
The final nail on the coffin. Was the shutting down of Norton Air Force Base across the street in 1994.
Then the city of San Bernardino became a hell hole.
And it’ll become a bigger he’ll hole when the city brings in affordable housing, section 8 housing.
What a joke! San Bernardino city council and the mayor couldn’t even control a mall.
😢😢😢😢
san bernardino was never the same since this mall closed 💀
Dang first the Mt Vernon Bridge which should have been done already and they spent over $2 million dollars demolishing for a city that's supposed to be bankrupt now they're going to demolish the mall and how long until they build something I'm still waiting for that bridge I hate going around
🥺
Renovate it simple Don't tear it down put in Armed Security in there I use to go to that Mall
That's fucked up man
Welcome to the New Economy.
Turn it into a Prepper urban battle training facility. Those people are loaded, and would pay millions to level the place.
Downtown sucks here.....
That mall has been vacant for MORE than 5 years. When I lived in San Bernardino back in 2014 it was closed THEN and the Mexicans always had lowrider shows in it's parking lot. Much of downtown San Bernardino is VACANT. 99 cents Only store closed, Boost Mobile store closed and now nothing is in downtown San Bernardino.
I remember going there with my friends...89-95....movies for $2.00 ...girls.... that was the hang out..
Flute guy aint gonna be happy and bakerXderek can't visit.
Whatever you build, make it bike and pedestrian-friendly.
I just want the 2$ movie theater back, lol. Went pretty much every week.
That's gonna be great once it's all redeveloped.
I Agree, But Save The Historical Harris's Building
That's the best skating spot wtf bro
About time 2 many rats that ruined this place
Damn this place was sketch as hell, I remember going to a business next to it years ago and all you seen was junkies and base heads everywhere and some dude trying to clean my windows
Build mixed use real estate
Ok but leave the fountain!
CAROUSEL MALL WILL BE DEMOLISHED
CAROUSEL MALL WILL BE DEMOLISHED
Let me guess apartments? Per usual 🙄
"....Housing.... Some market rate, some affordable."
Says it all about the cost of living in california
All of downtown SB is a trouble spot lmao
And by the city they mean us and by us they mean all the middle class and upper middle class cuz god knows more than 85 of ppl here on govt assistance .
Hawthorne Mall is next
@bakerXderek no waaaaay
fu*k it I got 3 ideas for the carousel mall #1. Create tax incentives to get Mcdonalds to re-locate their headquarters from Chicago back to San Bernardino where the company has it's roots. #2. Create tax incentives for electric vehicle manufacturers to build out a new factory in the carousel mall. #3. Re-locate Cabazon outlets to the carousel mall ...
Longer than 5 years. Stop the lies. Put something useful there.

Any body remember the carls jr buffet in the 80s and 90s? I have sooo many memories of my mom
N sad n i there in the late 80s early 90s . Its time though cuz dino is really bad skid row bad for alot of the area
When will Moreno Valley mall get demolish? 😂
Oh boy…
Es injusto destruir la propiedad..cuando justifica a la policía su muy mal trabajo ya que sale más perjudicial destruir que cuidar el lugar con la policía pagada por el pueblo....derrumbarlo es justificar a las autoridades de su muy mala funcion
I remember getting rogue squadron for N64 from there.
That's a bad ass star wars game. Played it for months in the l8t 90's. Great memories 👌.
Nostalgic
ITS ABOUT TIME DAMNN
SB is ghetto
I remember when it was half decent, that's the way of the world lately.
Always been trash
Knotts berry farm is next
@@MediCali951 time will tell
I better hurry up and finish that special event quest with the mystical flute man NPC before they release this update.
FINALLY!!! My family has been here for 32 years and we used to visit the mall all the time. It was never a huge mall but it was close. It should've closed a lot sooner than it did but the time it stood closed and nothing done definitely was to long. This demo and redevelopment is long overdue. I still live here and many family. We all own homes here. We are invested. So renovation brings a revitalization to our community. More tax dollars and more cops. Better living with more law abiding citizens.
It should be an Amazon Mall. Amazon Airport About 4 miles away... Someone tell Jeff Bezos
What about the abandoned Hawthorne Mall?
Damn
It's about time I grew up there it need too come down
I heard form a confidential source, the mall will be leveled and replaced with a new mall.
victoria gardens style and riverwalk along with condos and housing
@@LOCAL.90 yeah and directly across the street will be a gang of tents and homeless
San berdookie
There was a mall????? Never knew that.
Demolish San Bernardino completely instead...🤮😷
Right. They're about to put housing there for more 5hitty people to move there and cause more problems.
Does this include the Harris Building? I hope not.
does not or the enterprise building/andreson
This is awesome!! Big strides for the city.
About time.
5?! Try 165 lmao
Shii always been dead. almost got robbed last time I was there. That’s why it’s to get caught with it than with out it
Where the homeless/drug addicts gonna go now?
I remember going trick or treating there as a kid and all the stores would hand out candy and this huge line of kids going from store to store. And that taco place inside was soooo good I want to say it was called Pacos tacos but I’m not sure. Good time for sure. But it’s time for the city to do something good with that huge amount of space. Redlands and riverside have these nice downtowns and San Bernardino has the opportunity do give them a run for it’s money. A packing house district, arts district, outdoor amphitheater along the lake mix use living and retail and nightlife would be nice. But ayyy this city counsel as their heads up their a$&es.
Dude no way, hell yeah bunch of fiends lol
Nicest part of San Bernardino
Not at all. This is in downtown and right next to the Verdugo Flats gang going west just beyond the underpass on 2nd street. Then just a few blocks north toward Baseline is some of the absolute worst areas in the city, it's very close to the west side which is equally as bad and home to a large amount of rival gangs. That's the inner most portion of the city, the inner city and it's really bad.
Lol how about housing the homeless! Greed greed greed
My mom use to take me there
They just want it gone & half way build it like waterman gardens
Dude I’ll live there
Finally
Damn, that thing is still around..lol
Put a Amazon warehouse there give the community a place to work !
Every mall needs to be demolished. Those monstrosities destroyed downtowns and were part of the tyranny of the car that's destroying us.
Why every mall? Even the good ones?
Sadly some cities don’t have a downtown… some town malls are all you have for your shopping needs… ☹️
@@princesssadieloo There is Amazon. I hate Amazon, but it is killing the big malls and in a way it helps small stores sell all over the world. I wish Amazon was nationalized and goverment ran that's all.
@@thornil2231 I wish Amazon was physical store. A BIG one I mean. Or yknow...a *mall*
Good, downtowns deserved to die.
