I don't understand why people don't want to go to malls anymore. I like trying on clothes, looking at products in person. I prefer going to malls especially for clothing since things fit so differently, I wanna buy stuff that fits the first time around and not have to worry about paying more for shipping. plus it's nice to get out of the house (not so much during the winter though lol)
I think they are busy😆
Because people are lazy.
I think this is happening mostly in US, I mean many malls are getting closed.
I think because of new generation.
Unlike when 80s 90 2000s . MTV years
The owners of the mall leaving power on and stocking the vending machine etc is actually really nice.
The rats get hungry
they had a round 1 activity place right outisde and that entrence they went into for the mall was for the movie theatre they still had up those stairs
really cool mall. Its weird that theres no vandalism and is really easy to get inside and still has power it doesnt feel abandoned at all.

Lol I be wondering who is paying the light bill on these abandoned buildings. Why waste money like that? Lol.
because its not actually abandoned...
why tf would there be hoover boards just laying around still charged?? common sense says those would have been taken within a few days by people.
why would homeless people sleep outside if there was some perfectly good mall with power and nothing stopping them from entering.... Think about it
Used to live right down the street, walked there almost daily. Spent most of my teenage years here with friends. Way before metro pcs was an arcade that wrapped around that whole corner! The memories! Thanks Josh!
I normally never leave comments on any channel, but I feel like I have to this time. I used to love going to the Galleria as a kid; was always a blast! Viewing footage of the interior gives off a HUGE sense of both nostalgic and melancholic emotions. I last visited this mall in 2018, 2019 and it was like walking in an eerie ghost town. It had such an immense dead feeling. The sense of a bygone era and how much that has radically changed since the Galleria's inception. Sad to see it go, but I'm thankful for the copious number of great memories I had at the Silver City Galleria. Cheers, Josh for making this video!
I never comment on videos either, but I had to cause I know this mall. I live about a half an hour away from it and I haven’t been there in years but last time I went it was so empty almost felt abandoned before it even was. Lol I got my first Saint Bernard there back in early 2000s. Crazy to see this on TH-cam
Wich county or like city or place is this mall at
@@Demonslayer00786 taunton, massachusetts
ME tooooooooo!!!!!
Same I always would visit GameStop and other stores
The Mall Era was awesome!! It was a super fun time for myself and in the early 90's, man they were so fun to walk my kids around in their strollers. Getting photos in the photo booths that I cherish till this day!! The one in Phoenix, AZ called Metro Mall was a filming spot for Bill and Ted's excellent adventures. Before I moved there there was actually an ice skating rink in the mall. Then they put in an arcade and carousel. It was Rockin' in it's hayday!!! Thanks for bringing up all these great memories with this one Josh!!!
We hung out at Metro Center Mall every weekend in 1990.
I live in Phoenix. I have most of my life. I’ve got so many memories from Metro Center and Christown malls it’s ridiculous. I still have the scar on the inside of my bottom lip from my toe pick caught on a chunk of ice the Zamboni driver missed and I face planted on the ice.
Here in the Philippines we still have big malls,you can visit mam
I miss the mall era…. I remember it dying right in front of me. I was 15-16 (I am 24 now), and little by little everyone stopped going to the mall! It was never full anymore, people got bored… my parents didn’t let me go until it was too late :(
I wish do bad I was born on the 80-90s to experience the fun and the roller skating era the mall era get the meet the famous rappers and singers when they were young and now it’s all online and it sucks so much😢 I would do anything to go back in time just to experience what you guys had, you guys are so lucky
There’s something enchanting to see this place completely empty knowing it’s horrific story..the vibe is so..intriguing
I used to live in Taunton back in 2009 till 2021. I spent a good chunk of my childhood shopping at the Galleria cause they had the Disney Store and the Build-a-Bear. But when those stores left the mall, you could visibly see the decline as stores left one by one. I loved going there just to walk around and see what stores had, especially the F.Y.E . It killed a part of me when I heard the mall finally closed down and was later demolished. I had the best memories there from going to the theaters in the back to shopping with family and friends....I'm sure gonna miss those times...The Galleria Mall meant a lot to me
Mall/shopping center culture in Australia is huge and it continues to grow every year. No matter what day of the week it is it's always full of people.
Yep so true! ❤
That's true, and boxing day yesterday was just plainly exhausting due to overcrowded. So yeah, totally agreed!
Same in the UK. Shopping centres continue to be popular.
Bro in Australia we don’t call it a mall we call it a shopping centre
In Holland the malls are struggling. Even the ones in the biggest cities can have 40% empty space.
Mind you, they can look busy but if staff, stock and energy is becoming expensive and because of Online shopping people buy 30% less each visit your mall might be struggling as well.
Wild how malls are now empty and some abandonded. When I was a kid in the 80s,every mall was packed and I would never have thought they would be like this. Our local mall has like 5 stores and 2 resturaunts left in it but will be demolished soon. Our other local mall,which made the news a couple months back due to a mass shooter incident,is actually still pretty busy.
you live in omaha? this sounds like where i live
@@KoltenE46 nope,even worse...Indiana
@@MrMeek79 haha lol
All the malls near me are still extremely populated and it's almost impossible to find a parking spot nearby. I don't think the mall era is dying I think It was abandoned cause people were killed there, Not too sure but that's my guess
Merriville by chance???
Man, this was so tough to watch. My grandmother passed away last year and we used to come here often in the 90's as kids. My most clear and favorite memory was going to the food court after a day of being dragged around everywhere in the mall lol. They had tables right near the huge wall to ceiling glass window and it was such a nice view if you could snag seats there. Especially on a clear and sunny day.
Going into Gamestop and rushing because my Grandmother had no interest in being there lol. Checking out the puppies at the pet store and the fish at that aquatic store. My cousin tried bonding with me one day and brought me there to hang out. Always appreciated that so it stood in my memory.
Oh and don't forget the massive bungie bounce thing they had where you guys were hover boarding. I was always too scared to try it lol.
The last clip was gut wrenching for me and made me very uneasy. My mind kept relating it to my grandmothers death and it kind of choked me up.
Thank you for this though. It was beautiful to watch and reminisce.
🙏❤️
R.I.P💟

RIP
I FEEL YEAH, we had to stop going when my daughter turned 5 cause of school/work, since we lived on the Cape. SILVER CITY MALL WAS THE BEST.
Silver City opened in March, during my senior year in high school. I still remember the hiring fair they held over the summer of 1991 and standing in line for hours to get in. Never got a job there, but many of my high school classmates did. I spent so much time there between 1992-1993, back when the mall was the place to be (and pretty much the only place worth going to in the area). Its surreal seeing it so empty.
Hello 👋 can I ask you something if you don't mind
@@Nelsonattorney ?
So pumped someone managed to get in there and document things before it was torn down!
OMG THIS IS SO INTERESTING! I recently explored my first abandoned place! It was so fun and wished I could do more bigger places!
Exploring is fun, but be careful.
What did you explore?
That sounds fun. If you don't mind sharing, what place did you explore?
@@AbandonedExplorationUrbex1979yes, there's rules like don't steal anything, don't vandalise, don't destroy anything and most importantly DON'T.GET.CAUGHT
@@Randomemail1what if u get caught?
Watching the Mall get demolished made my heart sink a little. So much history within those walls just gutted and erased. 💔
ah… my childhood mall! idk how this came across my feed but i was STUNNED. this was a nice little trip of nostalgia. used to be obsessed with sarku japan!
OH AND I DIDN’T FINISH THE VIDEO WHEN I COMMENTED AND SAW IT WAS DESTROYED! WILD!! 😢
When you visited the place when it was busy and with so many people, then you visit it when it is abandoned it brings back so many memories! Truly nostalgic as Josh said!
Here in Portugal, my childhood mall has been abandoned for almost 10 years and everytime I see videos/photos of urban explorers that went there these days I get really nostalgic, so I get the feeling!
amazon thats why
10 years ago I don't think Amazon was that popular here in Portugal, today Amazon is very popular worldwide, including Portugal as well, but back in the day not so much. From my research my childhood mall closed due to bad management decisions from the owners, then the owners had to file bankruptcy and they had to close everything
Haha Portuguese. Gotta be from the area
Whats the name of the mall?
You speak damn good English for being from Portugal!!
Makes me sad to think malls are becoming abandoned. What also gets me is that Christmas tree😢
Normally don’t comment but I live 30 minutes away from this mall had a lot of great memory’s bought my first ever smartphone here at the old Best Buy ! Love the content 👍
Me and my sister went to this mall back in 2018 around July and we both loved it! 💜
Can't get over how calming Josh's voice is.. Love this video sooo much. More abandoned malls to the people 🍻
Coming from someone who is from and currently lives in Taunton this actually makes me so happy to see. I used to go this mall almost every weekend and to see it one last time explored by one of my favorite TH-camrs is literally surreal. Wow.
I remember travelling to setup that Round 1 location. By the point Round 1 made it in, it was very obvious the mall was on it's way out and most of the install team was shocked by the decision to open a location in that far gone of a mall. With the exception of the Round 1 Russia location, I believe that was the fastest Round 1 to close (4 years after opening?) in the companies' history.
It’s so sad to see so many malls falling apart weather it’s shutting down so many open spaces or just bad stores in general within
I remember going to this mall with one of my uncles and one of my cousins when I was a kid! So weird to see it all empty and abandoned. Thanks for the vid!
Welcome!
That's sad you have a memories there.
@@wrongtiming8837 yeah...
Must feel weird bro
Man it must be surreal to walk in an abandoned mall in a town you grew up in. I can’t imagine. It reminds me of a mall I went to recently in Minnesota called Burnsville Center I believe it’s called but that’s got a lot of closed shops too just a still operating food court and a skate area to do skateboarding trick in and maybe a handful of stores open there. Thanks for sharing Josh I appreciate and always enjoy watching your videos! ❤😊👏🏻👊🏻🙏🏻
This is so wild… this video legit brought me back countless Friday and Saturdays nights. I could name almost every store front as you walked by them miss that place now it’s completely gone and just a flat piece of land
The thing is, I like shopping online because you don’t have to do anything, but going to a mall brings back my childhood nostalgia, and I love trying the food courts.
Edit: I loved the mall era and it was so fun going to the mall.
ohio mall
@@ZephyVR1283you can't escape those 💀
I miss the silver city galleria as well as the swansea mall I grew up living in dighton the town next door from Taunton so sad to see 🙈! Love your videos 🖤🤍🖤
In the 90s the mall I went to was everything they had arcades they had such a big candy store that lined the whole wall from top to bottom! My friends and I would hang out till almost closing time this is so nostalgic 💕
Hi again! Cant believe I found you in another one of Josh’s videos -
@@Who.Is.This.12 Hey 👋 😄
I miss the old Karcher Mall in Nampa Idaho from the 70s. It had so many cool things youll never see anymore.
I worked at a candy store in a mall. It wasn’t a job I wanted to keep forever but it brought me joy to give candy to everyone passing by and giving them as treats and gifts. And the way they decorated the mall was just incredible
shopping at the mall gives off a emotion i can’t explain. i don’t get why people like to online shop. i like shopping online too, but honestly shopping at the mall is better because you can do it with your friends and there’s so many things to look at.
I remember going in that entrance countless times as a kid in the summer heat. It’s so sad to see all the malls around here go away
Damn such a shame that dis mall closed 3 years ago today 😢
Josh, store with the stone work on the front was Eastern Mountain Sports .
What you were mentioning at the end makes sense, like in the last few years there's been a combination of things contributing to the decline of malls....But it isn't happening equally everywhere. In my area there is a mega popular, huge mall, it's always SUPER busy, and I try not to come on the weekends cause it's just too chaotic and packed...It's becoming more and more a luxury mall tho, so I guess richer people can afford to buy nice things more often, I wish there were more affordable stores there, and there's a movie theatre there too, it's not super busy anymore, but I think it's slowly coming back to life since lockdowns are over.
Then we have another mall, it's been like a ghost town for years, because they were turning it into this "Amazing" shopping complex on the outside, meanwhile most people couldn't easily get access to the original mall, AND then COVID hit as well...So the original mall has almost no stores left, meanwhile the new area outside is booming with all fancy restaurants and fancy stores....The food court inside got completely gutted and they built a brand new food court with only luxury eateries... 😐 I want to eat there but it's all so expensive.
It's kind of a weird mall that's still undergoing it's transformation....A combination of ghost town and modern luxury together
..You'd have to see it to believe it lol
My mall here in MT is slowly dying to, it's a popular mall in town but when the areas around the mall like the Movie Theatre I use to go to with my family is now abandoned or shut down and left behind it really does bring your inner child out and just wish you were still in the glory days before they became glory days.. hate getting old in this new world even though I'm 26.. just feels like the world is moving/evolving to fast when you notice it.
I used to live near there and remember when it was active and when it closed. It is crazy to see that beautiful building once bustling with activity so ghostly looking. Thank you for bringing back such amazing memories.
THIS IS MY MALL!! I live in Taunton, actually my son worked at Journey's when that happened at Bertucci's. This is so crazy, I knew you live/lived around me when I saw your Freetown video. That mall is demolished now, you can't even go in the parking lot. They were going to put apartments there or the casino but plans fell through i guess. God, lots of memories there. Thanks Josh
Is this the same mall that Wonder Woman 1984 movie was acted in?
@@TeleeFONE I'm not sure, I didn't love in Mass then. I was in 4th grade, lol
Why the mall closed
@@austinhowells20 business was bad and they were losing money. Slowly stores were closing one by one.
@@TeleeFONE no that was in Virginia I think. Landmark mall maybe?
WAIT NO WAY IVE BEEN TO THIS MALL FROM 2022 AT PROVIDENCE WITH MY FAMILY AND MY COUSIN
Pretty sad seeing the decline of malls and large shopping complexes like this.
I understand the convenience of ordering things from the comfort of your home, but for me I still prefer the experience of going to physical locations, wandering around said retail sites and looking at the goods on shelves
Still have many fond memories in the 2000s visiting The Metro Centre, the biggest mall local to me and while that place is still strong, it likely won't last forever
bro no way, this is my childhood mall too. i had no idea it was abandoned
I think the problem with closing malls and markets and such for the "convenience" of shopping from your home will eventually make people pay for that convenience by upping prices, and since they won't have any other choice they will be stuck with those prices, you know? Awesome video, really neat to see normally busy places empty like that, very eerie, very backrooms.
Sadly, online shopping (depending on product) you can optimize distribution. You don't have to pay space for something people not willing to buy ( for example I once walk into a bag shop, with some bags are actually out of production and the online store already sold it out at 70% off, yet the shop still selling it at full price.
Also with so much online shopping, the numbers reduced the cost of shipping - I still remember the cost of mail order for something you just can't get locally.
Some trends just caught on. I always wonder what will happen to food orders / delivery (other than fast food) once there is no more lock-down. Actually it was super busy. I went to my favorites' restaurant and the online order machine kept on ringing.
Oh well.
People nowadays shop online to avoid fights, traffic, gas prices, too many people in the mall/store, not having change, not having the right size whatever you want to call it. I think it’s better 👏🏼👏🏼
Imagine my surprise my state is featured! I loved this. So nostalgic. Thanks, guys.
I don't like online shopping because I'm in between clothing sizes and my curves on my body are just shaped differently so I love shopping in person. It's sad to see malls become abandoned and unused because online shopping is becoming more popular. I'm glad you get to show us this mall and it is weird that it's open and there's electricity and I feel bad for the guy who has to be there at the Regal theater by himself. Anyways I wish malls wouldn't become dead. Also I do love the dead Mall series you're referring to with Dan Bell. Thanks for this video, it was great.
Not to mention you can get scammed online.
@@Corgipon yes and that's another reason why in person shopping is good too.
In my day the Mall was the big and only thing to do and go hangout. Now the one's we had are all shut down but one it's still open and really only seems to be extremely busy during the Christmas season. Miss those days. Thanks Josh brings back great memories!
Malls are so much fun to just walk around in!
I'm glad I lived during the time when they were busy and fun! While Internet ordering is convenient, it's missing the "vibe", the excitement of shopping for new styles, colors, and hanging out at the mall with friends and family. Nice video!
I think people watching is less interesting on internet than walking mall.
I grew up in Taunton and spent many hours in that mall! It feels so weird to see it so empty, and surreal to see it demolished. The pizza place was a Bertucci's at one time.
Oh wow I had no idea they closed down this mall! I live on the north shore and haven’t heard anything about this mall since that terrible crime occurred. This mall gave me such nostalgia 🥲 One of the places that me and my first love would go to together. Memories there. Sad to hear it closed.
This mall was massive! I hate it that it got demolished. I wish that I could go there when it was still open.
Thanks so much for the history and backstory on this place. Im really amazed this place wasnt trashed or damaged. It really is sad and eerie. Thanks for showing the place such respect.
Im so glad you went there and vlogged your journey of history, it sucks they demolished, they seriously could have turned it into something else, a sanctuary for the homeless or something
I hope more malls are turning into homeless shelters or apartments or schools. Instead of tearing them down
Wow... that last clip is insane. The actual destruction of the place is something I don't usually see on your channel. Hits hard right after I just saw you walking the halls of the place! Great vid josh! I've been a subscriber for I don't know how long anymore and I am never dissappointed. Please keep it pushing!
im bout to tear up because of this, i used to go to taunton mall ever since with my parents, thanks for sharing this, used to go there every darn week just to look at things. i hope it reopens again so me my parents and my sister can go back there. gosh dang those were the memories.
This really breaks me, since they actually demolished that silver city galleria. my lord.
Funny thing is even when the mall was maintained that elevator was scary! I loved growing up going to this mall and all of the great memories!
waitttt .. i knew you were from massachusetts but i didn’t know we both went to the same mall during our childhoods 🤪 it hits differently seeing places abandoned when it’s somewhere you spent a lot of time at 😩
me too, im from taunton. so wierd seeing it. its gone now
Djk35 I'm 💐🌹😘😘🌹❤ are you single I want you are
Comparing to other malls in the area (South Shore Plaza Braintree, Westgate Mall Brockton, Northshore Mall, etc.) I found it nicer than any of the above mentioned. I remember first going there in about 2017 and had gone a few times after that before it ultimately closed. Every time you went in there were less and less stores. Sad to see malls becoming a thing of the past, they’re a way to get out of the house.
josh is encouraging me to just start exploring and going on random adventures 🖤
THE WORLD IS OURS!
Technology advancement is amazing in its own way, but it has some repercussions to it. Unfortunately places where people gather and actually interact and have fun hanging out are slowly going away. The mall I used to go to is still going strong, but who knows how long that'll last.
That's good all my malls here are dying rip
Great job Josh! Love your dedication to covering these places for us, thank you Sir. ❤❤❤
The malls in the 80's was a blast before the age of electronics. This and the skating rink was what we did. Pool halls and clubs for kids started opening up in the late 80's and early 90's. Hanging out in the malls in the game rooms and food court was how you spent your weekends meeting up with other kids. Kids don't do anything these days they don't even leave their houses. The internet has ruined everything I hate it!
Y’all gotta stop letting these TH-camrs fool you, people (kids included) still go to Malls, they’re literally packed like most people would expect.
@@DougieYTfr
You hate the internet and say it ruined everything while being on the internet? Hypocrite.
In Australia a lot of shopping centres are going strong. But a lot of old stores get replaced
Excellent video, Lads. It is so gutting to see such a nice mall shut and latre be destroyed. Not everyone likes shopping online, especially for clothes or other items where size and fit is involved. What few times I have bought anything online, I either have difficulty with shipment or never receive the item at all.
When I used to live in Buffalo NY, one of the malls we'd go to was the Walden Galleria. One of the biggest reasons it survived is it's location. It's surrounded by a major city and large suburbs. The majority of the stores are clothing and shoes with several restaurants and an indoor go kart track.
Mall was a big deal to my family. We had so much fun there. It’s so sad their closing down. Such a huge part of our lives over
I have said it, and will say it again here. This it literally like walking in a real life Liminal space, especially the nostalgic/familiar Regal Cinema lobby. Its like stepping back in time through long lost memories. You can make so many photos and turn them into the "oddly familiar places" photo compilational videos you see online. Your doing Gods work exploring into our past, thank you guys.
These are my favorite types of videos you do 🥰 Your content never disappoints 👏🙂 Ps. The Travel Channel should give you your own tv show on exploring abandoned places and talking about the history on them.🤩
That be awesome
@@ExploringWithJosh no not sell out bro . Please 🥺🙏. Once you sign a contract you own nothing. You have no voice, no say
You might already know this but he did do a show a bit with og exploring with Cody it was only a few episodes
I found it way better when you did urban exploring like in this one here too! All the ghost hunting stuff is pretty much cringe!
Agreed!!
that's so cool! i remember going to an abandoned school next to my high school during periods/classes i didn't like or after school (obviously inspired by you, sam and colby, and seth) ♥️
Malls in my country are thriving post-Covid, and even continue to grow and expand more. We're not lazy to go out and buy stuff 🙄 We only do online shopping if some stuff could not be found in our malls. We will never let go of Malls no matter how much technology tries to change the way we live. Sometimes, you go to the mall not just to shop. But to dine, watch movies, have fun in recreational centers, or just hangout with family and friends. Like an indoor park.
It’s not lazy to not wanna go out and buy stuff when you work a 40+ hour week some people don’t have time don’t call it lazy
Who goes to the mall first to then buy it online?? If it's more convenient and don't wanna drive there (because you can't get anywhere in America without driving) you just buy it online to not waste time.
@@w花b We do. And the rest of the world isn't "in America" buddy. If you prefer buying it online to not waste your time and too lazy to move your lazy ass, then that's your call. You do you
I'm not going to any malls in large cities. Too much risk of getting shot, robbed, carjacked, threatened by thugs ect. Shopping online in my home is safe and comfortable.
This is beautiful. It's not vandalised or anything, it looks pretty fresh like its about to open. It feels sad that society is going to forgot about thos place and it will be probably ruined. Would make a cool place to a new mall or a museum about it.
Really enjoy your videos. Love the background stories. Yes, I do remember spending time at the malls during junior high and high school. At lot of good memories. It just so sad to see these vibrant places shut down. Take care and stay safe!
This is such a moving video. You guys definitely brought life into the past and present of this mall. The reminiscing just makes one feel like the mall is still alive. Well done :)
All the explores, you all are aware that if these devices truly work then only demons presents these will show. For no human Spirit stays "ghosting" on earth realms.
After death: Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Meaning: Saved souls shall go into ABRAHAM`S BOSOM and unsaved into hell, for these 2 are holding places for the departed human SPIRITS.
Only ones who “ghost” in this realm without body is the evil spirits:
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
I went to a mall in Florida it was open but looked abandoned there were not many stores most of them where closed some lights where off and the parking lot was so empty it’s very sad to see all the malls slowly leave if people would just bring them back 😭 I remember when I was younger I would go to get a build a bear it was on of my favorite things when I would walk by the stores and look at everything in the windows I miss it so much :(
Hey Josh, Much love from Canada! Love all ur videos but mainly with Seth, Sam and Colby! Keep it up.💗
I use the internet for everything including online shopping etc all the time... But I admit life was better back in the 80s/90s.
I don’t understand why there’s still a restaurant inside a abandoned mall
I love shopping at malls. It’s honestly an experience that’s always memorable every time, it’s fun to just walk around and look at all the cool places available with food courts and everything. It sucks that people don’t go much anymore.
Silver city was my favorite mall growing up. I used to go here every half day of school with my friend and his mom. I remember this mall had 2 Gamestops, back when Gamestop was worth visiting. I pass by this empty lot everyday going to work and I always reminisce the good times I had going to this mall. Thank you for doing a video of this mall. It gave me goosebumps watching the whole video.
I grew up in Bridgewater MA and spent many a days in this mall as a kid… truly sad and shocking to see it in this state.
ive never been to the Silver City Galleria but it looks like an amazing mall. I wish i had gotten to go to it. It kind of reminds me of Circle Centre Mall which is still around in downtown indianapolis indiana.they had the hugest food court they had the same problem keeping the tenants to stay. Mostly due to crime a lot of people don't want to go there anymore. I had gone there when it had first opened up way back in 1995 it was always packed until about 2009.
My first time watching and I really enjoying this keep up the great work bro 👍
There is one mall in my town that closed down in my town except for a few offices. I remember going there in the 90s. Another mall in my town is on the verge of dying. It’s a small mall to begin with and in the last few months alone 4 stores moved over into the Target shopping center. So overall that mall now is a little more than half full. The Target shopping center is now the main shopping place in my area. That and the Wal-Mart shopping center.
If my high school ever gets abandoned, I'll explore it and cry a little because I LOVE it so much and had so many memories
Josh you continue to bring us great videos of Abandoned Malls and Amusement parks.😂😂😂😂😂😂
18:29 the vibes right here were immaculate josh
Man I'm local and would have loved to explore this with you. Crazy how the times have changed
I remember in the 90s walking right into the food court lots of people ordering food at different places and there was an arcade near by went to look at the games and they had a goosebumps episode playing in there too. So nostalgic malls can be
Being from Mass I loved going to the Galleria mall, 15 minute drive if that. Was sad when I found out the mall was being closed and later demolished. Cool to be able to watch this and get the feel of it again, thanks for this.
This was literally my mall and will forever be till this day. I’m watching one of the other videos and you mentioned seeing the small and I immediately went to the video. I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m going to see your video is gonna make me tear up so much. I miss the small I wish they never turn it down. 😭
Omg this is my childhood mall!!! I used to go here all the time, so sad it closed down it used to have so much spirit, especially during Christmas time. I live like 15 minutes away from taunton so silver Galleria was a go to. I remember hearing about the stabbing and was devastated, and it started to get empty after that. I also remember playing in the little play area when I was around 5-6ish years old. I miss this place it was like a second home in a way. So sad it got torn down, this is really bringing back the memories for me, thank you for showing this mall Josh.
That's exactly what comes to mind when I think of this place man. Christmas time. Going there with your giftcards after Christmas because it had the best selection of stores in the area (before Providence Place). I remember going there towards the end of it's life span and I knew it was dying because the food court was completely empty. It was sad.
Hi I was wondering if you have ever heard of the eastfield mall in Springfield ma? It’s also getting demolished and was my childhood mall 😢
@@d3stinyy14 Yeah my mom actually worked in that mall for a while and we did visit on occasion. Sucks to see all these places shutting down and most kids not being able to experience one unlesd they travel.
@@d3stinyy14 I have heard of it, I've never been there before though. It's sad all these places are getting demolished 😔
@@bluejayanimates3239 yup :( it hurts to think that all of these online stores are taking over. No more fun memories
Thank you Josh for taking us on this journey on the Abandon mall where you live. This is interesting and thank you for taking us alone. Love your videos and content.❤❤❤❤
The lady is so kind to give you guys a free drink 💛
I don't usually buy stuff online, I go out and do shopping so I can look what's new and what has changed over the past few years. I missed the old stalls and old stuff that is used to be popular and want to feel the nostalgic feeling I experience as a kid
People started shopping on line so they didn't have to exercise anymore
So weird seeing people talk about “mall era” and at the same time so sad seeing that online shopping is doing this to America.. Got very sad when I saw the news clips too, it must be so hard always feeling on guard no matter where you go. I live in Norway and malls is like super normal here. We have online shopping too, but we also still go to mall and do our shopping 😅 We are also safe while doing it, shootings and stabbing and so on isn’t normal here and not something that happens a lot, like, never
Oh goodness, yeah, now you have me thinking. I don't know why I hadn't put any connection between mass killings and the decline in shopping malls. They line up so well.
They should turn that whole mall into a haunted house theme park lol
Why do people want to do this… that’s unfortunate and the fact people have died in that mall. Thank god it is gone for good. 😮
Great video Josh! ❤
Glad I came across this video. That mall was my 2nd home as a kid and I worked there for a bit as well. Thanks for immortalizing it on video!
so crazy to see an abandoned and open mall at the same time. Imagine spending a night in there!
West Edmonton Mall here in Canada is never not busy! To think that malls anywhere just get abandoned is wild. Mall shopping is a fun activity
