    That is EXACTLY how I remember it as a kid. I can still smell Cinnabon lol. My two favorite stores to go into were WB, and the great train store. Usually, we'd see Santa at Lazarus, then head over to the mall to do some shopping. Great times. It was really a shame that it didn't make it. Tuttle, Easton, and Polaris killed it. People had no reason to come downtown anymore.

    This makes me sad how malls aren't like they were during my childhood. I still always make sure I do most of my Christmas shopping at a mall or any brick and mortar store.

      If only I could still do that. The brick and mortar shops in my area often don't have what I want or need. And when you’re under a deadline(like during the holidays), you’re forced to order it online anyway.

      The mall was a big part of my early 20s. That's me towards the end working at Sunglass Hut. I'm glad my dad decided to record this. Brings back a lot of good memories.

    I only went to this mall twice as a kid, but I have good memories of it. I was in a multimedia course in school and the teacher would take us to "business professionals of america" field trips. I couldn't have cared less about that, besides the excuse to get out of school for a day. The real highlight was that the teacher would let us leave the meeting area when it was over and wander around downtown by ourselves.
    Kind of a weird decision on his part but I loved it! I ended up heading over to the City Center Mall both times I went on the field trip and it was so much fun. I felt so grown up going to the mall by myself for the first time. I ordered from the chinese restaurant and ate on the big staircase. I looked at all the stores and shopped a bit with my allowance. I had gone to malls plenty of times before that with my family, but it's different when you're on your own for the first time. City Center gave me my first taste of independence. I'll never forget it for that!

    Only Southridge looks like that 2 days before Christmas other then that weekdays when school year there is 10 people there max and no one goes into the stores, weekends are better you get a decent amount of people, summer when no school it’s like the weekends or barely any people… most of the stores are filed at Southridge but people don’t shop there they go to Mayfair or Brookfield Square mall where literally it’s basically all dead mall only half of stores left there same for bayshore and the grand avenue mall closed and is just a city center for stuff these days and northridge is still abandoned after 22 years…

    I was about 5-9 going here with my mama and my big sister. We had so much fun! No one in their right mind even thought of a bomb or being shot at. It’s so sad what became of malls and America. :( my mom got her first nursing job at Grant Medical center and she would take us here all the time.
    I loved the Bugs bunny store and Sbarro.
