This is the "Last Man Standing" as far as Orange County malls, I believe. Westminster Mall is toast, as is Laguna Hills mall. "The Shops at Mission Viejo" is on life support. The whole concept is dated, especially enclosed malls in S. CA. South Coast Plaza is "Rodeo Drive South" so they get the rich people, I guess that's what is keeping them alive.
There's a lot of $ being exchanged there. I knew a couple that met working at two different luxury brand stores. They met each other as workers and were from my old church. They told me they made high incomes there on commission. Each person was making over $100k annually, during the middle of covid, mind you! So yeah, richy folks totally support that place.
I used to visit the area back in 2000 when my sister lived there. It was the highlight of my trip 😂 i would go to jamba juice and shop at pacsun, the finish the day at the theater. Shame how people today have ruined what was once a great place
I remember there was a comic shop here in the late 90's called Cosmic Comics, also in the 80's there was a Warehouse Video inside the mall, now it's a boring generic shopping center for the rich
My family visited SCP quite often in the 70s. Always liked going there. They had this weird oil fountain thing by the MayCo that was interesting. My brother got busted stealing some stupid thing in Sears. My parents actually got paged in the mall to come pick us up. That was not fun. Overall, it was a fun place.
@@foxxyguy2681 Which part of the Mall, are you talking? The third floor? the extension across Bear Street..? 50% vacant. Not good. Sears closed, Not good... The Mal will not make it to 2025.

I remember my mom bringing my brother and I pre 2000 and taking us to the Del Taco @ south coast. Rainforest cafe was right next to it.

There is still Santa Ana Mainplace and Brea Mall that are doing alright.
Is the fashion island a dead mall too?

I lived up Bristol back of saddle back high in da 80's riding bikes to thrifty's for ice cream. The Bob's big boy was a good memory.
I remember going to Woolworths and The Harvest House
The Oil fountain in from of May Co.
I grew up just a mile from here
My favorite Mall.

thanks for sharing those memories, I was going there in the mid 1980s
Wow. Back then petty shoplifting was really frowned upon. Now.. it's included in the price of the products.
Gamesmanship! It was located near Sears, and right next to Sears was Carles Jr. I wish you had footage of that.
ooooh, footage of a Carls Jr., I'm waiting with baited breath.
Mostly empty now, even the main mall is like a ghost town. Im not sure what the plan is now
untrue its far from dead on anytime on a Friday its quite busy
