great video

Just another victim of the ongoing recession and retail apocalypse, I feel for all the people that will be out of work.

Thanks and Keep em Rolling!

I LOVED THAT STORE! RIP!!!

They, filled for bankruptcy. 0:37 You could see the signs, also do you collect them, Alex? And now…Conn’s HomePlus stores are going out of business. They are closing all of their locations. Even the store in my area is Going Out Of Business. I’m going to be Live-streaming. So I might record it. But how do I blur out stuff?

They’re closing literally brand new stores that opened a year ago. Big Lots went downhill years ago so it’s no wonder why they are closing.

It was announced 8/13 that Harry's , the lone remaining food service on the 1st level , was closing after 20+ yrs. The release said there was insufficient traffic for them to remain viable, Meriden officials said they were trying to find the business a more lucrative location within the town.

Great video

Nice video!

Incredible content 🎉

JPCenny?

Lakeside mall looks like a ghost town now

I love this content

It’s a shame they renovated it. It used to be so 80’s inside and now it looks like every other ugly office building

37:21 was the old Fanny Farmers candy location

totally here for that 80s music lol

Epic video bro maybe the Macys will become a Kmart

It Elmira not elmeria 😂

Amazing Video Alex! Fairlane is a mall I keep forgetting about, but is by far one of the most pleasant Taubmans! Glad I was able to take you here!

43:40 this one was a JB Robinson jewelers I believe

43:14 I believe this one used to be Hallmark Hallmark was a day one store which opened with them all when the mall opened

I believe this one was Victoria’s Secret, but I could be wrong 41:49

41:35 that used to be fancy cat but before it was fancy cat, it was the children’s place

40:38 that one you’re looking at some vending machines that used to be there, but then that used to be the United States post office that they tore out of there

39:31 that was the Old Navy Old Navy took over the bed Bath and beyond store on route 31 in Clay

38:48 here you’re looking at Sears Payless, shoe source and tutor time daycare center

37:56 that one was a Syracuse sports memorabilia shop

35:55 this one was a ye old candles

34:33 I can’t remember, but I want to say the rainbow one was a wet seal

33:48 this was American Eagle and that one point and turned into a comic bookstore before the comic book store moved across the street

I have no idea what this one was originally but I know it was formally billed carpet. Bill‘s carpet is over in Cicero, New York. They had two locations this location and then the one in North Syracuse Cicero area.

31:47 that one was the footlocker

That one was the bath and body Works. It’s still open today and moved up to what was the RadioShack on route 31 by the target

29:57 that’s one was the friendly restaurant

This one was Procopio real estate a real estate agency at one point but before that it was a Yankee candle store

27:35 this was AT&T

25:04 you were wrong. This red one was Verizon. There was all three carriers in this mall, Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T and sprint at one point.

24:09 this was the Gertrude hot chocolate store. It became a seasonal chocolate store when it moved up to Route 31 but then it never lasted and went out of business. You can still get chocolate at Destiny mall.

18:47 that was the old AT&T store until it moved next to the shoe department

17:30 that one was the Bonton store and then Abel driving school, which I have no idea what that one even was why even looked the way it looks and then CJ Banks had an entrance on that side of the mall, but then they for some reason, shut it off and no longer use that side

16:10 this one was Spencer‘s gifts. If you look up old mall video commercials from this mall, you can see the old Spencer’s gifts in the commercials.

14:26 that was Christopher and Banks women’s store. My friend Jeff had a friend name red who used to work here and she said this door closed down because I had ceiling damage so they went down for renovations, but their renovations never happened. While they were on their renovations, they went into the FYE store and they were unboxing all of their merchandise and getting it ready to put back on there newly renovated shelves and then corporate called and said we’re sorry. CJ bank is going out of business. Do not continue with your renovations. Do not restock your store sell everything off and go out of business and so I think they sent everything over to the Destiny location when it was over in Destiny, and they just sold all their merchandise off that is why you see the clothes hangers because they were about to put everything back on the hangers until the company went out of business and they were never able to finish their renovations because they ran out of money and went into bankruptcy chapter 7 bankruptcy.

13:16 this one was Sprint wireless this one a sprint store until they went out of business and was taken over by T-Mobile. And then it was home to the Clay Panthers for a little bit the Clay Panthers cheerleading team.

11:46 this one was Hollister Hollister was a renovated at Destiny mall, but it did eventually look like this in the past until it got renovated. But just one definitely was the old-fashioned Hollister store and I don’t know why but there’s some like stuff like if you were gonna do a stage that was left behind in the stuff that was left behind in there at one point so that’s why if you see some theater stuff or some random stuff in there it was from the theater company that was storing their stuff in Hollister

10:21 the store was finish line and it was some other store like thrift store thing in the end. I remember that having the basketball hoop on the ceiling.

9:40 this one I have no idea what this was. I do know that there was a wrestling rink in this store, but I for the life of me could not tell you what it was before the wrestling rink. And I never saw the wrestling rink open I never saw anybody in there. I never saw it. I never saw it operating when I went there, so who knows if it was ever open

8:06 this one was the shoe department this one I think was H&M because we go on the outside of the building there’s H on the building so I believe this was H&M back in the day but then shoe department took it over and then the pandemic shut it down and then it moved into the piano and organ store by Sears. As you can see the roof had damage so obviously the pandemic like I thought wasn’t the reason why it closed it closed because of the roof damage and moved in to the piano in Oregon store

6:43 this one was some calendar store towards the end, but you can tell this was a FYE store. Now, FYE did come back into business. Surprisingly FYE was at one point at Destiny mall back in the carousel days, but then it went out of business and then it came back into business at Destiny mall so you can go and visit FYE at Destiny mall today 2024 I was surprised that FYE died and was born again came back alive at Destiny. It died at Destiny and it was reborn at Destiny surprisingly.
