I've seen photos of Southdale from the 1950s. However, I had no idea that this mall was still operational, especially in this era of mass mall closures. I hope it keeps thriving. Thanks for sharing!
I had always thought the 1st Mall was the Bergen Town Center in Paramus NJ which opened in 1957. I had read that for.many years. But upon my quick research I see a Wikipedia entry that it's actually the 2nd oldest Mall in NJ. Now I'm wondering which other NJ Mall is oldest? Because I've seen programs on the History Channel state the (then) Bergen Mall was America's 1st ever Mall. I loved the video. Your combined narration makes it so much more personal and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for putting the time in to make it.
The first indoor mall in the southern hemisphere also started construction the same year Southdale opened and it opened in 1960 and is still to this day the largest mall in the southern hemisphere! It’s pretty much Chadstone in the suburbs of Melbourne Australia! :)
Isack!! I miss you, too!! How are you, my friend? Hope everything is well with you! We all miss you on the chat! Hope you are having a good time. You are helping kids, right? Very noble of you to do that. 😀🙏🌹❤️❤️ Glad you commented and I got to talk to you!!!😁

missed northgate mall in seattle, built 4/ 1950 i was there for opening as a kid , had 2 big stores and 50 small ones but no cover at the time. google has to many answers to the same question
Northgate is listed as the first regional shopping center, but Southdale is still listed as the first mall. Google it. I am impressed, by the way of Seattle’s mall. They are going to give it an update, so it is still thriving! Way to go!❤

You are welcome!
Remember going there as a young child back in the 60s with my grandparents. 😊
Do you remember when there used to be a Red Owl grocery store there, I do, I was just a kid back then
Done a great job on the video Tracey, love to see the what shops that have been added after the renovations are completed.
Thank you for the feedback! I will review that in the future to see what has changed. 😀
That “Coming Soon” wall has been there for at least 2 years now lol
It’s probably been that long since I’ve been there! Lol
Thank you for the mall and other videos my almost neighbor. ❤❤❤❤(We're about a block off of bald eagle) ❤❤❤

You should check out The Galleria across the street.
Great idea! 👍😀
Yep. That’s how my Android phone is. Very flexible, cheap to buy, and easy to operate.
I love my Android. 😎
Been there a bit.
