Columbia Colonnade Bloomsburg, PA - A Walk Through a Silent and Empty Dead Mall
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- Join me as I go on a tour of the Columbia Mall in Bloomsburg Pennsylvania. This mall once housed a Sears, JC Penney and the Bon-Ton. It now sits vacant, with only a few businesses remaining. In all my travels, I have never been to a dead mall so eerily empty and silent. It felt abandoned, as if I shouldn't be there.

This mall was supposedly overhauled once. I can't remember this happening as a kid, so I share this info as is. Yes the mirror store was a Deb. The Foot Locker was reused as a Rage room, that's when the tiles got painted.
The anchor further down in the mall was the Penny's. The place next to the former Twisted Pretzel/AA's was a Nail Salon that left due to water damage in it's space. Red Tile was Camelot Music, later reused as a Kids Play place that left under controversial circumstances. The EFO was a Sears, EFO is still open and is successful. Mall Santa was around until 2018. The no clue was several stores including a Bookstore at one time, right now it's a Red Cross blood donation site. Wavy roof place's last use was a farmers market. Teal Accents was a Gertrude Hawk that just left during/after the COVID shutdown. That was converted to a Gamestop.
All the Brass - Mastercuts. Tabletop game place has been closed since the start of COVID. The later mall office was Mall Services and in the last few years was Mall Security. The window was for quick service items and was a generic restaurant that was never successful, changed names several times. Old rest. was an Arby's and has been closed for a very long time.
Thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge about the place. I really appreciate it. I'm always try and guess the stores at these places and I've never had anyone ID them all like this. You da real MVP 👍
@@RayOutThere Glad to be of help. I'm a local, and sadly, I think everyone in the county just wants something done with the mall and for it to be over.
This mall lost a lot when Ames closed in 2002/2003 and Walmart moving up by it sure didn't help. There were plans to demall in 2008, but no further action was taken.
Hi Ray that was pretty cool mall seemed a good size too kinda sad to see it looking like that
Yeah it is sad, this used to be a cool mall. Thanks for watching
I'm so glad that there are youtubers that focus on collecting media / video material around buildings that are on their way away.
For these buildings have so much history behind them.
Yeah it's important to do this so at least these places can last in some way
It was so sad watching this place decay. While hard to imagine now, this was once the economic center of our sleepy little rural corner of PA. It was always bustling. They went all out for Christmas, too, so it was always kind of a hallmark of the season to go do your shopping there.
- That first place you saw to the left as you entered back in the 80s and 90s had the biggest, best tasting pizza slices you ever had. Someone tried to reopen a pizzaria there but he couldn't count change and the pizza was very meh so nobody wanted to go anymore.
- "Looks like this mall was never updated" It more or less wasn't. Sans the store branding, it looks pretty close to the way it did when opening. A few chunks did change, mostly the store-front design. The arcade space looks pretty different.
- Where you asked "Is this the Bon Ton?", that was a JC Pennies.
- The stage thing was where promotions and holiday set ups were kept. You went to see Santa or the Easter Bunny there. To the right, that storefront was an Arby's for the longest time.
- "This must be a food place of some kind". Pretzels.
- The furniture outlet was Sears, and honestly was a pretty good one back in the day. To the left was the arcade. EDIT: Actually...I'm having a brain fart, the arcade might have been on the other end of the mall. It was to the left of either the Hills or the Sears.
- "Window thing/this doesn't look like anything I'm familiar with" That space back in the day was a sit-down Chinese restaurant that served kind of a slighly higher quality version of Americanized Chinese take out. Well after the mall's glory days, I _think_ it actually was a bar. For whatever reason, that space seemed to struggle. There were a number of other restaurants in there through the years.
One day I just wanna take me and my 3 friends and explore a super dead and or empty mall
I feel it’s be really fun plus eerie
It is! I highly recommend it
Why is this mall even open to the public. Seems wasteful. Good job exploring! Very creepy 😬😬😬😬
Thank you! This place was a lot creepier than I anticipated.
Waiting on the leases to expire.
Great find, and no security!?
None! No one working there except the people at the bounce house place.
@@RayOutThere There is one janitor left, can't even tell you what days he works.
Great video! I can't believe that the Subway is still open, but I bet not for long.
The lights were on at the subway but no one was there. I expect the whole mall to be shut down soon.
I grew up here and it makes me so sad
ANOTHER Ray vid from a few years ago popped up on the feed! WTF with YT. Great video as always!!! 😂
its as if you hit every mall I've ever experienced in life. Thanks for the videos.
A whole mall to yourself basically, I think that’s why we’re seeing so many new apartment complexes being built all over places like this that once was thriving.
Its sad to see. But it was fun to explore. Thanks for watching!
I can't believe the rage room is now gone too. I was in there last year for a birthday party at that inflatable kids place, the rage room, subway, and the furniture store was still hanging on. Thanks for an update bud
Thanks for watching! I expect this place to be closed for good pretty soon.
He tried to burn down the new location during a dispute with his father in the last few months.
Great video. I am amazed that it is still open. You would think the electric bill is higher then the rent coming in.
I bet they're just waiting on the lease for the Subway to expire.
@@RayOutThere Good point.
@@RayOutThereIt did. :(
At this point, the mall will probably close when subway leaves. Great video ray!
Most likely. Thanks for watching!
I only know rumors, but apparently it's being subdivided inside. Wont be one contiguous space anymore. I have no idea what kind of properties they're going for though.
That's really creepy. The few voices in the background actually sound a little scary with such an empty mall. 😂
The sounds in here were so eerie. It was great. Thanks for watching!
i just walked barefoot in this mall last sunday. (no lie) i was waiting for security or anyone to stop me. No one did and was quite amazed.
I saw no one working there. It was crazy
@@RayOutThere do you like feet?
Why barefoot? Kinda weird.
I don't know why this place is even open I was there a couple of weeks ago its a shame because this was a nice mall
I imagine it must've been. I would have liked to have seen it in it's heyday.
@@RayOutThere It was a B mall even in it's heyday. Almost all the malls around it had better options. Almost all of them are ether gone/leaving/or in trouble too.
I couldn't believe it either when Richard and Kara took me to this mall the day before knoebols. I believe the furniture was a sears and the Dunhams was a hills/ames. This is be far the second deadest mall I have been in. I go back on my footage and release it later in September.
Lol we made the same trip. I went to Knoebels right afterwards. Looking forward to your video. Which mall was the deadest you've been to?
@@RayOutThere same awesome trip, it was the Richmond Square mall with my friend Andrew. It's in my dead mall play list. Will be in September maybe when I release it hopefully crossing my videos
I used to go to this one as a kid. Yeah, it was a Hills at one point. Place was super lively, the commercial center of our little rural corner of PA. Walmart ruined everything. That place is a cancer.
Book store was called Friar tuck
The creepiest dead mall I’ve ever been too is canton centre mall. This one looks alot like it
I'll have to check that one out
That was a jcpenny
Kinda creepy
It really was!
Old wood store front was foot locker😊
It is amazing Subway is still there? Was it open?
The lights were on but there was no one at the counter. Weird!
Food place was auntie Anne's pretzels
The anchor was jc penny
The Furniture place was a sears and planet fitness took the other half
Sears before the furniture outlet
Maybe the hills Department store not sears
Great vintage aesthetic! Thanks for the video !
Thank you for watching!
