I loved this mall! Thank you for this video.

My little son (preschool until age 9) and I used to come here to see movies and also eat Chinese food in the food court (1990's). He was always mesmerized and happy to step into the glass elevator and "zoom, zoom, zoom" up to the cinema upstairs.

Filled all now with empty office space. Homeless now not allowed even to sleep under the marque on the streets.

And then The Party was Over. Once I lived across the street. Jim Marshall i think, the purple people eater had a restraunt often serving me breakfast with grace ans a smile. Maybe ir was Allen Page? Sorry it was a long time ago. They were building this then. Once I lived in a penthouse across the street. Meers Park. And my roommate played piano. For the Minnesota Orchestra. Jach owned it. And he would often come to come to dinner Friday nights. Chopan etude played on a 1914 Steinway Full Concert Piana The masterpiece of our living room then AIDS And the Party ended. Now only ghosts walk these indoor streets

Burger king use to be up there to

Is the movie theater still there. Their snacks use to be high as hell. I remember when they had The Rudolph Valentino bar and grill, with that famous barbecue.

It looks like a perfect location to have businesses and stores.

That's sad. I wonder why it's empty. It's a beautiful building.

I’ve got a nickname for malls. I call them sandcastles. They are built on a similar foundation and eventually fall like sandcastles.

I used to drop stink bombs in the glass elevator and watch the captives notice us( homeless Dorothy Day tramps) laughing and flipping them off,as they took a stinky ride up!!! Ha ha....fck you all....

I cam across this by accident. So sad! I remember being there in the 90s.

i wish they would rebuild these abandoned malls and not replace them with amazon bullshit centers

bye rollers acres we'll miss you all you were such a beautiful lady in your hay day RIP GOOD BYE FOR EVER

I live like 20 minutes from the site. I witnessed most of the demolition, and plucked a brick from the demo site. Still have it today. The Macy's and Boscov's buildings at Marley Station are architecturally similar to the ones at Owings Mills. I love going to that mall because of that

Bs ruined it just like it's now doing to the Augusta Mall

This Was A Nice Mall. Memories Is What it is Now. Good Things Don't Last Forever. Unless We Can Make it Last As A Business Financially Good. Money Can't Live Without It.

WOW!!!! Many memories of that place. I remember the grand opening that was a dig deal for Augusta and Augusta mall opened a couple months behind Regency mall. Really sad passing by that place when I come home to visit..😞 I've had some great times just hanging out with my friends at that pizza 🍕 restaurant and crazy kool store Spencer..😅

I worked at this Montgomery Ward from 1973 to 1976. Thanks for the video.

They don't have any Dillard's there in Minnesota do they? I like watching a lot of these department store and Mall videos. One of my favorites used to be the Dillard's at Ward parkway it was a four-story department store in South Kansas City. Unfortunately it was demolished about 10 years ago. Formerly opened as a Stick Baer and Fuller in the '70s and later became Dillard's in the 80s. Had these huge columns that rose up to the unusually designed overhanged 4th floor of the building. There was a multi-level parking garage attached to the first and mezzanine levels. I've got a video on my page about it.

How many floors is this JCPenney's?

Pretty cool video. This lobby of this building and shopping mall area kind of reminds me of the 900 North Michigan avenue building in Chicago. Just like water Tower place in Chicago which is right near it they both house a shopping mall with about several stories and then up above is either condos or office space.

3:21 that looks exactly like when the mall was gutted in 2013.

If it went to 2010 it will be the shortest memory

Yep

Demolition began late last year beginning with the Montgomery Wards store.

You really must like the carpeting, the floor. All we ever saw was the floor, and how jerky you were with camera, weaving back and forth. I would be ashamed of this video.

I miss this place so much

Bummer. I used to come here every Christmas to see Santa Claus when I was a kid. We would always get gingerbread-man cookies after getting pictures taken and then shop for Christmas presents for family members. Great memories.

Cody door Cody open grapevine mall open

botttom kek

When are these pictures taken

where is the music :/

Chapel Hill Mall Will End Up Like Rolling Acres Soon

The pictures go along with the words of the song. At the end it shows the mall in a downhill stage as the song is ending.

ebay.com/usr/gneisenau8 stuffs up! Check it out

Please don’t permanently delete your elevator videos, nor even the elevator parts one you did because those are my favorite ones I have watched for a very long time! I’d keep them as long as I wanted for, but I do completely understand about moving your interest ahead towards something else. I really love both the vintage Westinghouse elevator parts to the far right of you, and I’ve always wanted to see something like that for quite a very long time.

Open a second tab and play "The Shining theme" and let it play in the background. It becomes horrifying.

It was sad to see them building the mall and knowing that all their hard work got destroyed only 40 years later😖

wow. I lived the neighborhood before it was built, while it was open and after it was abandon.

I love your videos and the song of Elton John's is awesome

87....yr after i graduated from high school ✌

GREAT job! LOVED the video. R.I.P., Rolling Acres.

It was a great mall...I spent much of my childhood in here. Mom worked at Montgomery Ward... my sister and I went trick or treating here. It makes my heart heavy watching this video because it was such a happy place.

i am, in tears over this one time beautiful; mall may her memmory live 4 ever!!

Good music. Nice to see pictures of when mall was active & then seeing video as mall sat empty.

I’ve lived in St. Paul mom and Maplewood my whole life and never heard or been in this place.

what an interesting abandoned place! I'm from ga and am super interested in its history

Back in the late 80’s to mid 1990s I used to go here to watch movies and eat. They had a really good Chinese restaurant and an arcade. Miss those days

Biggest problem, this building is a rundown shithole. The property management cut corners every place possible, The roof all over that atrium leaked every single time it rained. It was/is a dump. Used to be a very nice looking building, but it's far from those glory days.

I wish I was old enough to see this but at least my dad was here to see it open and close
