There's WAY more foot traffic than I thought there would be! Ok, so(1) dont expect privacy in a public place, and (2), aren't there security/ surveillance cameras EVERYWHERE, including that mall? 🤔 Besides, I'm SURE if some shit went down, they'd be BEGGING for your cam footage

Not as busy as I usually see it, though most of the activity is usually around Round 1, and during the weekends when people are out doing stuff. If you haven't you should give Dixieland Flea Market a visit, it's not too far from here.

Boy did I hang out at this mall from around 1984 to1986, during my final undergraduate years at Michigan State University. That's where I saw "Back to the Future," "Fight Night", "St. Elmo's Fire," and many other iconic movies from that era. That's where I probably bought most of my music cassette tapes, as well as clothes with those loud 80s prints. But as I'm looking at this video, sadly I don't see any landmark or recognize anything specific that would remind me of those days. Maybe the entrance if at all. But anyway I do know I had great times there with my college buddies.

So sad to see this Mall so empty. A lot of my childhood was spent in this Mall. I remember when it was packed and hard to find parking spaces. Thanks for sharing!

I hung out there a lot when I went to Royal Oak schools. Then when I finished my schooling in Hazel park our school put on a concert there in or around 1981. Lots of good times at that mall. Looking at it now, I highly doubt I'll ever visit that place again. Its safer to shop online now.

On Sunday September 1, 2024 I was walking through this mall, and I was filming on my cell phone it was my birthday and I wanted to tape some of the sights of my experiences. Suddenly, as I entered a store I was attacked by a man who had a turbin on his head he started screaming at me and accusing me of filming his kids. He tried to take my phone and he demanded me to start deleting videos and even pictures that were unrelated to the mall. I was very scared and I had to leave quickly to get away from the building.

Was there yesterday. About a dozen more stores are gone, including the USPS. I remember when it opened - I opened both the Target and Spencer Gifts (in their original location). Haven’t been to PH in a couple decades, so this was a shock. Sad.

I remember Briarwood Mall in the early 80s, it was packed full of people. Now it's a ghost town. Why bother keeping it open? Maybe it's that LOUD music blasting throughout the mall that keeps people away!

@Dan_KM8DAD5 ай бұрын
As a "boomer" I actually think if malls moved more toward being activity centers over primarily shopping centers it could attract more of the Gen Z market. Younger folks are looking for fun energetic stuff to do and adding such venues to existing malls would be a definite draw, not to mention stimulate kiosk business in the common areas (food & coffee stands, etc). Keep some space for retail shops to maintain variety. As long as people are there for laser tag & go-carting they may want to take a break and peruse a few stores. The old shopping mall model relied on big-retail anchors. Those big retailers are either going out of business or closing their mall locations, leaving malls without what had been their very life blood. Perhaps the key is to shift focus and fill these vacated anchor spots with more activity-based centers that appeal to Gen Z patrons. Just my half-a-cent.
