Let’s get this dead mall pro up to 10k subs!!! He’s picking up the baton for the next wave and leading the dead mallers. Thanks for your work on these vids. 🎉🎉🎉
He’s just about my favorite. My favorite is actually Mall Tours who does Florida malls and the southeast which is my neck of the woods. But NorthCdogg is a close second because he covers the history of a mall including pictures of its glory days. I don’t care for some better known dead mallers like Sal and Ace for different reasons. Sal is a bit too weird with showing retro scenes like Dionne Warwick and her psychic infomercials which really has nothing to do with the mall. And Ace typically presents his dead mall videos very down, dark and depressing with depressing, dark music. I’m more about celebrating what once was instead of crying in my beer about it. NorthCdogg presents a good balance. But Mall Tours is my favorite because she has a pleasant female voice and light relaxing music.
I live in Escanaba. The mall is finally coming along. In the old Shopko there is a new L&M fleet supply store. Dunham has moved to the other side of the mall and quadrupled their size. A shoe sensation, Habor Freight, Hobby Lobby and Marshall's has moved in all in the last 5 years. Still nothing like it was when I was a kid, but the best it has been since 2000.
This video made me smile. You're giving us yoopers some love! When I was a teen, this plaza mall used to be buzzing! It was always packed! Now it's a ghost town. "Wellspring" used to be Hallmark too. Everyone always stopped at Hallmark before heading into Shopko. Ahh those were the days.
Ah man, I worked here a few years ago! I wish you would have come by back then because we were peak dead and things were looking grim. I could have given you a GREAT tour, haha. That place is booming compared to how it was a short while ago. Great video!
Wow, I've never seen food court stalls that were never occupied before, usually if the mall had a food court it meant it was the modern and successful place to shop. I think you found a true level of the backrooms here! Keep up the adventure North!
Hey welcome to escanaba, my hometown! I wish I would've found your channel sooner, I could've given you a tour of the plaza. I've been going there since the early 80s when I was a kid. Dunham's is in the original Shopko. They just rebuilt that. All of the new stores are now on the outside and not connected inside. So I don't know how the interior stores are staying open. Lots of memories there! You must've filmed this a year ago cuz the food court and everything past that will I'd now Dunham's. Only accessable from the outside . The original Shopko was where the food court is, all the way to the wall of the new Shopko, where l and m fleet is now.
I live in Escanaba, I'm young, only 14, so i wasnt able to experience the greatness it once was. I remember walking in there as a kid and being super excited about going to the little model train layout, or going to pine wood derby races with my dad. I remember the food court before it got torn out and it was amazing. I wish I was old enough to see it thrive, back in its prime!
I'm old enough to remember the original iteration of this place. As a kid living in the middle of nowhere, we would go "to town" on the weekend and Delta Plaza felt like a piece of the big city to me. I was enthralled with the big fountain that was in the center of the hall right in front of the old location of Maurice's (cannot believe they're still there!). I remember the day JCPenney opened around 1985… so slick and urban for us backwoods people! They had white tile floors and beautiful displays, unlike the previous Penney's location downtown which was old and dark. Some of the other stores I remember were Team Electronics next to Woolworth, Merle Norman, Vogue (my favorite but couldn't afford to shop there much), and later, a bookstore where I would spend hours. Thanks for the nostalgia!
I live in Escanaba and this just popped up in my recommended videos. The mall really tanked when I was around 11 in 2011. Stores just started closing down one after another and even before covid it was basically a ghost town. When the food court was open it was a nice place to go sit with friends and grab a bite!
I'm guessing that the economic problems of 2008 -2009 hit. Either that or the paper mill shut down. It was a big deal when I was a kid, but too far to drive from Negaunee.
I used to get dropped off at the Delta Plaza arcade from 1993-1997, and what a thriving delight that place was. No empty stores, always bustling, and always bumping into hundred of people. 😞
I was there probably 35 years ago. My gramma would take me to the U.P. on summer vacation and Christmas break! She bought me a pair of shoes at this mall on summer vacation when I was probably 8 or 9! Nice trip down memory lane
I remember spending countless hours in this mall when I was a kid. Before the main food court was built, ( had a small restaurant on the corner across from Jo Ann). Always had the understanding that Dial bought the building just kept increasing rent, without updating anything.
every time i went to this mall it felt like a limal space out of time. even when it was almost empty when i was in highschool, there was nothing like sitting in the food court with all the plants and neon. i used to go to wellspring when they were in the mall, and then bum arround after the service. there used to be a bookstore where anytime fitness is now that i loved as a kid. thy alwasy had stuffed animals on top of the shelves and on the counters, it was such a nice store before it closed. it breaks my heart to see it the way it is now. however, things have gotten a bit better with new stores moving in. part of the reason stores didn't was because the owners of the mall made renting out a space incredibly expensive, and there's just not enough people here to give the stores enough revenue to afford it. as of now, they filled the area where shopko used to be with L and M, we have a harbor freight, a marshalls, and a five below is coming too. i hope you got time to stop at the bowl-a-rama next door to the mall, it's also a very lost in time 80's vibe. awesome video, i loved watching this and basking in the nostalgia of the older pictures you shared.
What a shame to see yet another neon paradise taken down. It is a shame they are covering up this mall piece by piece. You did an excellent job combining the music with this one to get the right atmosphere.
I enjoyed the video, but this mall made me really uncomfortable. It must have been a blast to see in person. I'm glad you got to film it while it was mostly intact. On a different note - flower patterned ceiling? That's definitely Pine Tree Mall in Marinette, but reading the comments I see others guessed it first!
Yessir! Pine tree is one of you ever get a chance should definitely check out! But yeah this one threw off a really creepy vibe especially in those dark areas filled with junk
Reminds me of some of the malls in my home town. Population is only 5000 but it used to be closer to 10,000, during the mining era two indoor malls were built, today they are both completlet empty and cavernous, still with their original brown tiles, sadly the last neons were removed just this year😢
Based on my experience at Gamble developed malls, they typically linger on for years in their retro state. Take Thunderbird mall and Mesabi center for example
I really loved coming to the mall here when I was younger, I loved the Jo Ann Fabrics that was in it, and there was also a lovely little bookstore in there that always smelled of warm tobacco. My favorite thing was that little shut off train track display that I begged my Dad to put in the money so I could watch it go around. It was one of my favorite places to go when in town, and I'm just super sad to just see a husk of what once was taking up all the space there. But the new Fleet Farm they put in the old Shopko is kinda nice, and I like the Dunham's Sports too, but it's just not the same, and I wish I was born sooner so I could have seen/experienced the food court to its fullest.
I'm an Escanaba resident. yes it was really awesome in the early 90's. the arcade was the best. I think what doomed these small malls was the huge shift in the way people shopped. Big box stores like Walmart came to town, followed closely by Internet stores like Amazon. Also you mentioned how all the stores that did come in or moved within the mall all wanted stand alone front facing shops. nobody wants to share space or compete with people being able to walk around browsing different shops. Thats what a mall was all about. gone are the days of getting a few items at each shop. the mall shopping experience is a far better experience for the customer. but business's don't want that kind of competition.
I'm old enough to remember Escanaba before the Mall and how it was Main Street that was bustling and that when the Mall came it killed main street, you could get everything at the mall, one stop shopping, kind of like how now you can get everything from Amazon and have it delivered. I kind of miss the bustling downtown with hardly a closed shop and all the stores full of people, The Delft and Michigan Theatres open every afternoon and evening and that little popcorn wagon on the corner of Ludington and n.9th St... please, forgive the musings of an old man. If you are interested there are historical documentary films at the Marquette historical society depicting Escanaba about 1900.
I was in London's Heathrow Airport during a period of renovation to the international departures terminal and they had lots of dead end corridors and weird temporary hallways. This mall really reminded me of that.
I went to Westminster Mall at Orange County recently and most of the stores are about to close down. I wonder if you can try explore over there if it's dead for confirmation.
Carpeted malls where the sound is deadened always gave me a feeling of someone wrapping me in a wool blanket. RE Delta's future: Anchorless and with the competition of Walmart, Meijer , and Menards down the block at best it'll just become a strip center with Dunhams (which I don't know how they stay in business), Anytime fitness and maybe a nail salon.. It's all very sad in a way , I bet the old folks in metro Escanaba miss the warm spot to mall walk in the frigid UP winters and remember the fond old days of a happening place to buy a Holiday greeting card or some ready to assembly furniture from Shopko to store their extra beer or ammo on..
I LOVE your videos! I'm always so curious about the technical details of your videos. Do you get permission or is there some sort of licensing you have to get? And if not, what happens if you run into someone while you're filming? Have you ever come across anything weird or a little disconcerting? Have you ever felt like you might be in danger?
Thank you so much! To answer some of your questions, usually I don’t get permission, I just go in and hope not to be caught be security. Most times I run into guards while filming I’m told to stop or leave. I have come into plenty of weird or concerning things, usually in abandoned malls like satan circles, hanging mannequin bodies, and such. And sometimes when I’m abandoned malls I can feel in danger.. hope these answers help!
Hey north what up first of all I want to say good job on your video I just wanted to tell you a I idea for your video for next season if you want and if you consider it trying it out because believe it or not people love malls still like me I want to see the hype malls so I can go I want to see a mall hype and still around …. Keep it up my guy :)
“ never stop exploring“ and “ The place you’ll shop are amazingly liminal and uncanny signs. The latter seems particularly ominous, almost as if it’s a command
Hello! I moved to Escanaba in 2020 but originally from Monroe MI. I lived there from birth to 25 years old. I would love to see Mall of Monroe formally Frenchtown Square Mall. Please!
@@NorthCdogg22 Nice you should make a video of it if you can. I'm on the other side of the state tho lol so I don't know much about the mall other than it having the college and MI Department in it.
Delta Plaza could have a future if Michigan had a more responsible government and was focused on bringing new industry to the UP of Michigan. The main hope this mall has is to start over from its roots with mostly local business owners. Maybe try to bring in a Lowe’s or Home Depot as an anchor or even a Walmart. Only if the economy improves there can you get ambitious and bring in a Macy’s or Dillards. For now it should focus on serving lower income blue collar customers because that’s likely the make up of people living there. Lower income blue collar people need only 3 types of stores. A Walmart type store, a hardware store, and a grocery store.
I always found it interesting that the upper peninsula is part of Michigan, it seems so isolated from the rest of Michigan, it would seem more natural to be part of Wisconsin.
I live close to Esky and the mall has definitely been given some life because of an L&M moving where shopko was, but it's still unfortunately really dead :( I remember visiting when I was a kid and the food courts actually had people in them :(
@@haydenmetzger2398 It feels like its had a turnover in management, for the decades the place was more or less stagnant, more change in the past 2 years than in the 20 years prior imo. Time will tell if its good change
All I figured that was in the U.P. of Michigan was forest and moose as well. No way would I have thought that a real mall actually could have existed there. Just forest loggers and sportsmen. And cold as heyall most of the time. You know, a place most people would not want to live(Actually, that could be said for the entire state of Michigan).
The mall has always been on the decline I have lived here and been there throughout my life so far. It had stores like a bookstore and a smoothie shop too and the food court had multiple vendors in and out throughout the years.

Hi fellow yooper 👋🏻
It's definitely gotten better! It gives me hope that our nice little mall in Esky will get stronger after all. 👍

Thanks for giving our mall its own log in history
I just want to say thank you for showcasing our mall. I wasn't expecting to see it on this channel.
Wow, I've never seen food court stalls that were never occupied before, usually if the mall had a food court it meant it was the modern and successful place to shop. I think you found a true level of the backrooms here! Keep up the adventure North!
Thanks Jostalgic! This mall could definitely be a Backrooms level, level 2999 Neon Hell
Interesting mall. Loved the neon and the original food court. Thanks for filming.

I remember that Mall too!
Great job as always NorthCDogg!!! Cant wait to catch you next week!
Thanks Almond I’ll see you there!
Love this so much! Keep up the amazing work ❤❤
Thanks!
This reminds me of what Penhorn Mall used to be before it finally closed up.
I used to get dropped off at the Delta Plaza arcade from 1993-1997, and what a thriving delight that place was. No empty stores, always bustling, and always bumping into hundred of people. 😞
Wow! This one is definitely something. The neon reminds me of SouthPark in Moline the 1990s with the pink though.
Another excellent video! Thanks, NorthCDogg.
Your quite welcome Roland! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Andrew!
You are doing a good job, so great review of this mall, very nice.
I was there probably 35 years ago. My gramma would take me to the U.P. on summer vacation and Christmas break! She bought me a pair of shoes at this mall on summer vacation when I was probably 8 or 9! Nice trip down memory lane
My Guess is Midtown Mall, Iron Mountain next, Great Video!
Nope but good guess!
It seems that mall could still have potential… it’s sad to see boarded up/closed off stores and hallways
Honestly the mall was small but packed alot of charm that i really enjoyed great video
Thank you so much Sunset Records! That means lot!
@@NorthCdogg22 You're welcome!
That mall had so much charm when i went there on weekends.
So sad its gone😢

Already one view...That means another silver medal. I started reloading 5 minutes ago and went by my computer clock.
Ooh early! just discovered your videos within this past week or so. Super inspired to start making dead mall videos myself.
That would be great! They’re a lot of fun to visit and film
YAY!!!!!
Me as a person who lives there I can say that it's really sad that happened even though I'm young I loved going there and now it's gone. 😢

@@NorthCdogg22 yeee
It reminded me of my old town's shopping mall but I sadly think it's fate is one being slated for demolition.
Love liminal spaces!
Same here!
those are some good neon dreamscapes
This mall use to have an arcade. I use to practically live there as a kid. I miss that arcade.
As of 2023. The wing past the food court is gone and the neon in the food courts has been shut off. Sad.
Great video
Thanks!
You know it’s a really old building when you see those glass block windows!
Right?? I absolutely love those aesthetics!
@@NorthCdogg22 me too!
Another goodun mate. Your videos always make me wanna watch Stranger things again. They get the 80s look right
This mall especially, thanks for watching!
What a shame to see yet another neon paradise taken down. It is a shame they are covering up this mall piece by piece. You did an excellent job combining the music with this one to get the right atmosphere.
Thank you JE!
I enjoyed the video, but this mall made me really uncomfortable. It must have been a blast to see in person. I'm glad you got to film it while it was mostly intact. On a different note - flower patterned ceiling? That's definitely Pine Tree Mall in Marinette, but reading the comments I see others guessed it first!
Yessir! Pine tree is one of you ever get a chance should definitely check out! But yeah this one threw off a really creepy vibe especially in those dark areas filled with junk
Reminds me of some of the malls in my home town.

Based on my experience at Gamble developed malls, they typically linger on for years in their retro state. Take Thunderbird mall and Mesabi center for example
Very true, unfortunately as this one has been nearly completely gutted it may be one of the last..
I live in Escanaba, and I remember the Delta Plaza Mall. In fact, the Food Court was where I actually ate at when I went into the mall.
I really loved coming to the mall here when I was younger, I loved the Jo Ann Fabrics that was in it, and there was also a lovely little bookstore in there that always smelled of warm tobacco. My favorite thing was that little shut off train track display that I begged my Dad to put in the money so I could watch it go around.
It was one of my favorite places to go when in town, and I'm just super sad to just see a husk of what once was taking up all the space there. But the new Fleet Farm they put in the old Shopko is kinda nice, and I like the Dunham's Sports too, but it's just not the same, and I wish I was born sooner so I could have seen/experienced the food court to its fullest.
this place reminds me of southridge here in des moines. a partially demolished shell of what once was.
Great video and I am guessing that Pine Tree Mall in Marinette, WI is next!
You know it! Nice job and thank you!

I’m surprised the whole state of Michigan isn’t closed
You should do Midway Mall in Elyria, OH.
I’ll be visiting that mall very soon!
Wish I could say something optimistic but honestly this one is probably long past the point where it could be revived.

The rent in the delta plaza mall is just so unaffordable that no one could stay!
Dawg this is my mall
The mail popped up now. Got a lot new stores inside of it
Owned by Dial? Musty/stained carpet? Unrenovated since the 80’s? Feels like a bigger version of the nearly abandoned Yankton Mall in Yankton SD.
Dial loved gobbling up their South Dakota and Nebraska malls
I'm going to guess Pine Tree Mall as it's right over the border as you said.
Yessir!
Hello! I moved to Escanaba in 2020 but originally from Monroe MI. I lived there from birth to 25 years old. I would love to see Mall of Monroe formally Frenchtown Square Mall. Please!
Copper Country Mall in Houghton? Its very interesting as it has a community college and an MI department of health and human services in it.
Actually that’s not it, but I’ll be there irl tomorrow!
@@NorthCdogg22 Nice you should make a video of it if you can. I'm on the other side of the state tho lol so I don't know much about the mall other than it having the college and MI Department in it.

I always found it interesting that the upper peninsula is part of Michigan, it seems so isolated from the rest of Michigan, it would seem more natural to be part of Wisconsin.
It was part of that territory, until the treaty of Toledo
Pine tree mall next plss 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You know it!
The hint hint with Milwaukee is that the northridge mall??? Bc that’s the only one I know of
Maybeeee ;)
@@NorthCdogg22 yeahhhhh
@@NorthCdogg22 so I hope you did do a vid on it
I'm surprised it's still there. After ShopKo went bankrupt it was only a matter of time for it to be gone.
Request: Northridge Mall
I live close to Esky and the mall has definitely been given some life because of an L&M moving where shopko was, but it's still unfortunately really dead :( I remember visiting when I was a kid and the food courts actually had people in them :(
There is a little hope for the mall, Dunhams moved to the back and we're getting a 5 below soon as well, but I don't know how long they'll last.
@@haydenmetzger2398 It feels like its had a turnover in management, for the decades the place was more or less stagnant, more change in the past 2 years than in the 20 years prior imo. Time will tell if its good change
@@chaon93 We'll see how it goes I suppose :))
All I figured that was in the U.P. of Michigan was forest and moose as well. No way would I have thought that a real mall actually could have existed there. Just forest loggers and sportsmen. And cold as heyall most of the time. You know, a place most people would not want to live(Actually, that could be said for the entire state of Michigan).
Northridge Mall?
Nope! But good guess! We’ll be there very soon ;)
@@NorthCdogg22 Northridge is fully abandoned, so don't even go there. Unless you want to get arrested for trespassing.😂😅😊
@@NorthCdogg22 Mayfair
The mall has always been on the decline I have lived here and been there throughout my life so far. It had stores like a bookstore and a smoothie shop too and the food court had multiple vendors in and out throughout the years.
That is weird to be using the inside of the mall for storage
Depressing
Welcome to Michigan. I hate living here. It's so depressing.
That’s my mall
CIII
That whole food court is gone now, it all became part of L&M Fleet Supply
And they blocked off part of the parking lot so you can't drive through it anymore
My dad did the electrical work in this maurices.
Bro i live right near there
As a Brazilian I tought Mall in English was Shopping because Mall in portuguese is Shopping 💀
Turn these spaces into prisons
Dead mall for sure.
This is very misleading
