We have Dollarama in Canada. It started as a 1$ only store. Today they have things up to 5$. Every couple of years they increase their top price. I'm surprised we are not already at 6 or 7$.

What's that song at the end?

Call me weird, but this place is my vibe. I would absolutely get the season pass and just go hang out there on a regular basis.

R.I.P MS Explorer.

This is wild, i had no idea about this but its 2025 now and im pretty sure the redbox near me still works =O

Just found your channel and am now in a rabbit hole haha. Very interesting and well done

On "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" There was a multi episode arc where the Maisel/Weissman family spent the summer at Grossinger's resort in the 1950s. I wonder where they filmed since the resort was long gone in the early 2020s.

Usually I would expect this kind of blunder from clueless politician or greedy corporate, never grassroot of public.

Payless was a life saver for many families that were struggling financially . I remember in my hood school shopping , Easter and Christmas you couldn’t even get in the store it would be so crowded. Especially on Bogo days.

its really ironic that outside of my local walgreens there is a functioning redbox where you can buy blue-ray dvd’s

I’m surprised no one bought it or claimed it and started a tick tok about living in a McBarge 🤦‍♂️

i got to experience nick studios only once before it shut down. it was absolutely magical. everytime visiting disney/universal after that i remember wondering why nothing was ever happening at nick studios. as i got older it made more sense.

6:52 if it's anything like today then chances are they were only hiring the best people and didn't focus on race quotas lol

I have a photo being slimmed there. I don’t remember any of it 😂

Nope . . . not harsh at all. Your video alone gives off an “uncomfortable” and “wildly underfunded” vibe (similar to the failed Willy Wonka experience in Europe). The “rap concert” all-by-itself would have been the final nail. At least the Malls from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s had their day, made money, and then phased-out. I’m an 80’s HS kid and I have great memories of “hanging out” at the Mall on a Saturday, as a good portion of my HS was there as well. So, the death of that era is a little sad to me. But, that form of shopping had its “golden era”, and now that’s over. But, this place is just ridiculous. This would be similar to investing ALL OF YOUR MONEY into tape players, right when the world was moving on to digital media. And at this scale??!! I have to believe that the banks who agreed to put up the money had a back door deal from the city to ensure they don’t get robbed. I can’t imagine any SERIOUS lending institution would part with 250 million dollars hoping that a DEAD ERA comes back to life - with a ski slope, a water park, and a “rapper” waving his arms on a stage all by himself (and nothing bad has ever happened at a rap concert). How could this all go wrong??!! This place will die WITHOUT an ERA of profitably. You could almost start preparing for that video now. And you can’t pay the light bill for a structure that large with a few attractions and NO STORES. GOOD LUCK.

I love how you compare old footage with the present condition! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

PAID PARKING for a MALL!!?? NOPE! I’ll pull up Amazon for FREE. 😂😂😂

THATS WHAT THAT WAS OVER AUTOPIA??? Wow. That's actually really saddening, I thought it was supposed to be some kind of "overpass" for the track, to simulate a freeway, I had no idea that was the track for the peoplemover..🤕

Should do Thom Mccan video

Now what the fuck did you say about blade trinity!?

So basically like always, the stores only close down because greedy people who have never even set foot in the store itself took money from it. If the only owner of the store was a local who physically worked inside the store then it would've thrived.

Does anyone else remember the name always being simply "Payless Shoes"? My family was broke, I got shoes there for most of my childhood and it was just Payless Shoes...

Had to stop watching because the graffiti morons have ruined the place.

This episode was great. However, I think you did not mention that there were no glass surfaces on the tower prior to the tiger is making their way into the building. Every piece of glass you see tagged on is relatively new. As soon as these were installed, the taggers then had surfacing to tag on. Prior to this, it was open air on the ends, glass in the center

0:11 the first few train horn of the video reminds me of the song eight Mile by Eminem

Closed 26th December, 2022.

The fact the park STAYED OPEN after someone DIED there is just DIABOLICAL

I think there is still a payless store where I live (Australia) google says its still open

THIS IS DEPRESSING. Too much of this going on.

I know the back history and remember the economy when mall concept made and when construction actually started but this project should have never been given the green light. The amount of customers needed at each shop to turn a profit has to be insane and I just don’t see the target demographic making the trip frequently to visit. Hopefully I am totally wrong, but short of the mall renting out just about every space for the next 20 years, I expect this mall fiasco to end very poorly.

Had my dive in 74

Building parks there makes no sense. Who can get there or drive there its in the middle of nowhere?

jeez greece is so helpless

Well no wonder I've never heard of this store. This was quite an old one lol.

Does it smell like french fries? That smell never goes away lol

I will always remember the smell of walking into a Payless to get a pair of Airwalks.

I went to expo ‘86 and tripped hard on acid, it was quite an experience.

Bright sun films need to make one about Atari!

Seeing all these companies from my childhood die is very sad. Inside a bustling mall, benches with mirrors and those shoe size things I could never figure out... R.I.P. nostalgia.

Man, I love DZ. A true staple of my childhood.

So this is where internet historian copied from...

They had a dead pigeon in the window of Woolworth for like 2,3 years. I don’t know it was in the same shape like it was a mummy.

16:55 wait, so you're passing used buffet plates over the divider thing both ways? That seems potentially pretty unsanitary? Especially since I'm sure they don't mandate getting a new plate for each type of food you decide you want? So people's mouth germs are on the plate already as it gets passed over/into the new-food-serving-area and then back out again? Potentially many times? IDK.

LMAO the Disney AR is never ready for guests

5:25 the article says three girls kidnapped her not three boys.

"They don't even have a chiropractor on board" No, but I'm sure they have actual first aid services available

the word's "Atlantic City Casino" screams "the mob", "corruption", "depression", "poverty", "drugs" and "New Jersey" screams the same thing. when your business model is all about getting everyone's last dime for an "all you can eat buffet" you should rethink your business model
