      @@TheMallFox Fox! What’s up dude?! Yea, it’s a cool capsule in these two buildings. Next time I’m up there I will ask security if I can get inside. I didn’t want to press it too far with this being my first video after being on the property a few other times. There’s soooo many thing to film in Myrtle but many buildings change fast as the town trys to stay fresh for vacationers year after year. How have you been? We gotta get you to 1000 subs before the end of the year! 🎉🎉🎉

    I remember going there to the big Waccamaw Pottery building back in 1993.

      @@jeannerybaczek5855 awesome! I wanted to film the rest of the Waccamaw store building but it seems to be some type of liquidation reseller now. I’m glad a company is taking the space but I am sure it was waaaay cooler for Waccamaw Pottery to be there back in the day when the outlet mall was a real outlet mall. Thanks for sharing and watching! 🎉🎉🎉

    Was built by two different contractors. Caused one contractor to almost go out of business. There was an exact replica mall in Maryland.

      If it’s a building or property in Myrtle beach. I probably know who built it or who owned it. I have a very good resource for all of Myrtle and surrounding areas

    Hi. I was born and & raised in Myrtle Beach and grew up going here. So, this outlet center consisted of 3 separate malls, which were labeled “Mall 1,” “Mall 2,” and “Mall 3.” Malls 1 & 2 were located side by side in the front there, while Mall 3 was in a separate building across the street behind them. I haven’t driven back there in a long time, but a coworker of mine told me recently that Mall 3 had been demolished by FedEx who now owns the property back there. Judging from what I was able to see from this video when you walked behind Mall 2, it looks like this may unfortunately be true. Mall 3 was the one we went to most frequently when I was a kid so the lion’s share of my memories are of that particular mall. I do recall going into Mall 2 back in 2007 or 2008 when this was a dead mall, and to my surprise there were still a couple of stores open and I think I remember a couple of the eateries in the food court being open. I remember thinking how random and weird it was because these malls had been dead for a long time at that point and I didn’t anticipate seeing any trace of life in them. But yeah-this was a very hopping place back in the 1990s. I can’t remember with certainty which of the three it was in, but I do remember there being a very decent arcade in the mall.

      @@isaiah2810 maybe mall 3 is where the parking lot was for hard rock park… because there is that empty parking lot area for the park and there was some type of building there with some concrete walkways that are still there under random grasses. Then… beyond that lot is the new massive FedEx hub warehouse.
      Thanks for all this info! I really wish someone would have documented this place decades ago on film. I’m sure there are vhs camcorder tapes rotting somewhere in a moldy garage with video footage of this place!

      @@charlestonpinballarcade So fed ex bought part of the old hard rock park. Or fantasy harbor or freestyle park. It’s been a bunch of different names. Mid evil times is still back there and two churches. A ford dealer bought another part of it. To work on commercial trucks and RVs. The history of that place is amazing. Wish you would have done a video of when hard rock park was closed.

    Might be worth a shot talking to the security guard to see if they will let you in the enclosed mall. If worse comes to worse, you can always offer a couple of bucks to sweeten the offer.
