I still think you should visit the Wakefield Mall in Wakefield, Rhode Island, and the Lincoln Mall in Lincoln, Rhode Island!

Those bathrooms are so bad they’ve become local legends.

When I was a teenager / early 20's I used to work at The Crystal Mall, and also part time at Home Depot next door. Lot of great memories in that mall. Now I show up frequently to check out Toy Vault and get some cheap Sarku.

I remember going to the Saratoga Mall just once in the summer of 1989 while I was on vacation in Lake George, perhaps the same time this mall was under construction next door. I have a scale to rate malls based on economic success - healthy (A), surviving (B), struggling (C), dead (D), corpse (F). Based on standards for the 2020s and what I see in this video, I would give this mall a C+.

The boat was a 1956 feathercraft made from ww2 leftover aircraft aluminum and aircraft rivets . 😊😮❤😊 Very nice videos thanks for the entertaining

TMNT -$5 each retail

Never heard of DM Reads? You're young. Main store was downtown. Most upscale department store in Bridgeport area.

We have lost a great many malls in this area, and they have been replaced by many who are more of an outlet experience, and online shopping. In fact, we have lost two malls in the past few months, the Boulevard Mall and the Eastern Hills Mall.

Kinda blew the Easter egg bit with the spoiler alert.

I go to East Side Games there on about a monthly basis and it is so depressing seeing more stores in there close down every time I walk through

CCCP is the USSR. Looks like that cup was celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Union.

90's star wars.....Someday they'll figure out a way to combust all of it and convert it into clean energy. Never have to buy oil from OPEC again. And keep the light son for 1,000 years.

That mall looks dead the mall near me it's usually pretty packed still a lot of young people that hang out there which is really surprising but I think it's because they read done it recently and it's got more stores younger people are interested in. But malls are nothing like when I was a kid I was born in the early 90s . remember when I was younger the mall used to be the place to go and they were always packed

thats the mall from my childhood, havent been in there in yearrrrs

Great video as always ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ enjoy all your work, very entertaining.

I actually work here; I work at the carrousel in the food court. So, from my experience of working there since November 2022, it's busier on the weekends. Not much business on the weekdays, unless it's raining, then I get more customers. Note that even on weekends, it will be slightly less busy if the weather is really nice. Never had a day where no one came.

You were right about the Batman & Robin salt & pepper shakers being modern. Although the blue color of Batman's cowl would indicate an earlier year as Batman was predominately blue for much of his existence, the more recent incarnations have him in Black. I might have gotten fooled into thinking that was something from the late 80's/early 90's, but I remembered recently seeing those in package recently and it had the newer DC logo on the box. I checked eBay and I've only seen two and they were being sold at 24.99 & 30.00. The Lakeside Amazing Spider-Man/Incredible Hulk Drawing desk is a piece I've been looking for for my vintage superhero toy collection. That's from 1979. I have seen those go from 25.00 all the way to 300 for mint examples. I would have asked how much the guy wanted but I would be comfortable paying in the 40-50.00 range for that particular piece as the box looked like it was in good shape.

I really liked the King Kong game, I like to collect anything that has the twin towers image on it.

I WANT TO THANK ONE OF THE ORIGINAL CHARLIE ANGEL'S JACQUELINE SMITH. HER LINE OF CAREER CLOTHING WERE AWESOME. SHE HAD ALSO BRANCHED OUT WITH EVENING WEAR AS WELL. I ALWAYS LOVED GOING TO KMART TO SEE HER COLLECTION. KMART WAS A FAVORITE STORE OF MINE WHENEVER I HAD A CAR HOWEVER THE CLOSEST STORE WAS STILL MILES AWAY FROM ME. WILL MISS THE STORE.

I got my first LEGO set at Service Merchandise at this mall. I remember it coming out on a conveyor belt.

Well they will be down another store as RUE 21 has filed for bankruptcy closing all of its stores!

The toys r Us / borders was located near where the Kohl's is. The stone columns.. Borders started in 2002.

I have to say that I'm really enjoying these flea market videos Tom, you have a knack for making them interesting. You're pretty knowledgeable about a lot of the merchandise as well. I was really hoping you would have commented on the Snoopy's Dog House Game right about at the 31:00 mark....I never even knew there was such a thing ! See ya on the next one

I got a bag of toys last week and that same whale was in it 😆

bring your own drink unless you whant to pay 2 bucks for a cold drink probably can

I used to go to the Crystal Mall often when I was stationed at the Sub Base from 89-91. I have some great memories. The last time I was there was in 2006, and I thought it was pretty dead then compared to what it used to be.

The hallmark ornaments-I am always looking for the thimble series that were out years ago. I spotted one while you were looking at the McDonald’s ornaments.

I think that half ship is hobby lobby ? Good video thanks for sharing tom

I remember when those stretched out soda bottles were everywhere.

I was at opening day last week and made my usual bear mountain coffee roasters stop and bought my usual 3 bags of Joe. I was looking for the cards of watch batteries of various sizes only saw a couple of packs but all one type. I looked at the antique section to buy old clocks to clean up and get working but I saw a couple of vendors selling new stock at retail prices. I saw one old Pam clock the guy wanted 150$ for it and it wasn’t in good shape, I hate when vendors think they have gold. I haven’t gotten a good deal in a few years. I’ll continue going though. I actually walked the entire sale pushing my wife in a wheelchair.

It’s been reported that people are using a lot of counterfeit money at places like this now.

It's almost certainly fishing lures viewers were saying they were hoping to see. For me at the 28:00 mark you again walked right by a thing I and/or my 87 year old friend will pay you for (so you make a profit and for some make and models, a profit which likely covers your trip). I won't write what it is because I don't want to bring others eyes onto them.

Nice video i really liked this flea market video

It can't be a dying mall if it has a 95% occupancy rate can it?

Very flashy looking museum - when last there in the 1990’s they still had lots of damaged aircraft from the 1979 tornado (am curious what happened to the B-47). In the 1970’s used to see the VS-44 flying boat on the beach in St. Thomas where it had been abandoned - later in the 1990’s visited it at the Bridgeport restoration hanger.

Keep up the good work when you find any fishing stuff.

I'm so glad you covered that bathroom lol, Wild.

I like the fact that you are willing to look at other things that you don’t know much about. Makes your videos even more interesting.

Can't wait until I go later this month; Stormville is always a real treat. 😁

Ninja Turtles are worth money if they’re the original ones from 87 and still in the package. same goes for the bus the blimp and the layer if they’re from 87,88,89. Those are the years you want to look for.

Can't tell you how many times since I posted this... comment that I have missed the East field mall . Whenever I'm driving and hour or two to get to the nearest mall . Just disgusting nothing but box stores hear in western Massachusetts

Titanic board game? , l wonder what the objective was? I assume to escape it before it sinks?? Fun stuff.

Those ninja turtle figures are some good ones especially with the cases. That $275 was a decent deal. If you got down to like 250 to 225 it would be well worth it. Without weapons those figures are about $15 each

I prolly would've grabbed that Erector set. I had one, as a kid.

The mall has been falling for about 20 years, honestly. A lot of it has to do with the rent. The spaces are just absurdly high priced for what you get, which is why so many restaurants that have other locations locally have left. That gyro place was a Burger King, across from the arcade was a really good pizza spot next to the Chinese place (which has always been a chinese place, just renamed a few times) Next to the gyro place was a bunch of random stuff over the years including a separate chinese place. between China Cafe and Sbarro's was a Taco Bell for the longest time, then it briefly became a Subway before closing entirely. Sbarro's has been a couple of things too, but I can't remember. There also used to be a really nice little candy spot by that pillar near Lunimomo. We had a Borders near the Kohl's spot for the longest time and that's where the Toys R Us was. Some stores are still there from when I was a kid but a lot has changed. Gamestop used to be a Babbages after all. I miss when the Gizmo had a *lot* more balls going at once. It's old and falling apart now.
