Cascade Galleria [Towne Mall]: A Charming Dead Mall With Generational Aesthetics + Bonus

#deadmalls #deadmall
Here's a visit to the Cascade Galleria, formerly known as the Towne Mall, located in New Castle, PA. This mall although quite small is loaded with vintage storefronts, a fountain, and lots of quirks! And after a visit to the Cascade Galleria, stay tuned for a look at the Washington Centre, an aged example of a combined strip mall/outdoor mall design.

This mall is a legend. I can't believe the fountain is running!

Me, too. I've been there a couple times and it was dry both times. Glad to see the mall still hanging in there. While I'm not a fan of greasy, thin pizza, Town Mall Pizza has some of the best I've tried. I once drove all the way up there from near Morgantown, WV just to have a slice.

Wow, I haven't seen a mall fountain in DECADES. Beautiful. Thanks for the chill vibe of this video, I'll be coming back to it. Glad I found this channel.

Imagine, if you will, leadership possessing the courage and vision to preserve brick-and-mortar businesses. The idea is to use eminent domain to construct a new series of malls directly atop freeways, allowing the traffic to flow through them. These malls would be designed as architectural marvels, with all traffic and parking issues resolved, including integration with light rail systems. The convenience of stopping at a mall while on the freeway would be unparalleled. Despite the ease of online shopping, the necessity of driving remains. However, the thought of visiting a mall during the Christmas rush is daunting. Yet, if the freeway system allowed for easy access to a mall's parking lot and a quick elevator ride took you inside, it would be tempting, wouldn't it? If our leaders could orchestrate this, we could centralize our retail spaces and repurpose existing malls into educational institutions. It's an ambitious concept but take a moment to consider it. Picture yourself arriving at a mall that not only serves its purpose but also pays tribute to the past as a work of art.

Why is there a functional fountain in a dead mall?

so it might be slightly hard to tell with the way i filmed this but even though there's only a couple of stores left, there are a number of offices and people working in the mall during the week, so i think the mall owners just want the place to look nice!
