This was my favorite mall to go to when I was growing up in the 90s! Thank you so much for this walkthrough, it really brings back memories, especially during Christmas time, which was the time of year I usually went to this mall. I know this video is a year old but I hope it's still going strong and I hope to get back there again 🥺

I like this mall personally if i was local to the area of Springfield. Looks like it wasnt as busy. Hopefully it can survive these current times of online retail. Its a nice mall with plenty of stores i would shop in. Thank you for the tour.

Say hello to Wayne and Garth for me.😁. One of the most beautiful malls I’ve seen on video isn’t too far from Aurora. It’s called Woodfield mall. You should do a video on that one sometime.

I lived in STL for almost 7 years(2008-2014) and downtown looked more lively back then, but nonetheless living there was a nice experience regardless of its rep. But wow watching this now, downtown looks a bit worn down. How was your experience walking around downtown?

West County Center was completely re-built in the 1990s. South County Mall is much older. The viability of a mall has to do with how old the structure is and how many repairs are needed. Also there needs to be a lot of money in the mall's general area.

How depressing... When I moved to Aurora 40 years ago, Fox Valley Mall would be *thriving* with shoppers almost all of the time. Now, it looks like a virtual ghost town. Gone is Lord & Taylor. Gone is Sears. Gone is the incomparable Marshall Field with its warm customer service, replaced by the cold New York-bred Macy's. People keep buying online and shying away from large malls, making wonderful in-person shopping environments such as Fox Valley Mall a dying breed -- a thing of the past, sadly. 😪

Yep, and the last time I went a few years ago, I was about the only wh ite person there. I felt so uncomfortable I stopped going.

St Louis Galleria is not considered a great mall any longer by people who live here. Most people shop at Plaza Frontenac and West County Mall now. Too many safety concerns at Galleria and a lot of businesses have pulled out. 20 years ago, it really was something to boast about. Not anymore…😢

Ah, the Clark’s shoe store. They make the most comfortable shoes I think. I hope that mall has a DXL store. There’s a lot of big and tall people out there. People are getting bigger, not smaller. Many of these “trendy” shops cater to only cookie cutter size people.

Question did you have all these people sign film wavers because this is illegal and your sharing it for the public I’ve reported it however please know this is a safety issue that’s why no one is allowed to share public places on film never we’re supposed to that’s why mall security can’t work cell phones capture everything
