Rhode Island’s Warwick Mall- It exists! Far from dead…

[@docholidayproductions]

Yeah I'm liking this actually seeing people in a mall it's kind of a sad thing to see some of these malls in decay especially out here...

[@theconfusingwords]

Right?! This one actually had some life in it for a change. And on a weekday!!!

In my opinion, the Warwick Malls's a shell of it's former self, because it's all clothing & jewelry stores, when 10 years ago there was GameStop, Newport Creamery, Burger King, and Splash at Jordan's Furniture

19:14 Golf Galaxy was Sports Authority until 2016 when all their locations closed

[@theconfusingwords]

Omg thank you! I don’t know why I couldn’t remember. That’s right!

[@Laserashton]

I loved going in there when I was little, and it's still a nice little area to get away from the crowds.

[@Feralwolf444]

The main reason this mall has managed to stay alive and even flourush is because they took all the stores, business, and traffic from the former neighboring Rhode Island/Midland mall, which closed down in 2011. The anhcor stores of the RI Mall (now known as the Midland Commons) still exists, but the interior two story concourse has been sealed off and torn down, and what wasn't added to the anchors is mostly used for storage now.

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 amazing video of the Warwick mall! Hope everything is good! It’s great to have you back and I missed ya!

[@theconfusingwords]

Thank you so much! I haven’t been to this mall in so long. I’ll have to do one on the Providence place mall soon!! 😍

[@benlogel1095]

@@theconfusingwords sweet I can’t wait to see it!

[@docholidayproductions]

Yes I'm excited to see this video!

[@theconfusingwords]

Awesome!! This is a pretty interesting one!! ☺️

Your from Rhode Island!!?

[@WayneCooper-w3k]

@TheConfusingWords Hey there! 38 yr old RI native here. My top 3 malls were probably Warwick, Silver city Galleria and my fave was Emerald Square mall! Idk why i liked Emerald so much, probably because it was surrounded by treeline that matched it’s green signs & accents. Emerald square just felt Cozy🥰. I still remember going to these places with all my friends after first getting my liscence.

[@Nothinghere0101]

R.I.P Silver City Gallera

[@JM-xp6hb]

You should see it now, it’s completely dead

[@tHawk9699]

The mall was completely flooded out in 2010 and was reborn. It is certainly a staple of RI. I lived here all my life and have come to this mall since. As a teen we would hang out at the arcade (Aladdin's Castle) Good times. Thanks for making this video.

[@HardikPatel1992]

I used to go to Warwick Mall. But I haven't gone there since summer 2023 until Thanksgiving. I also remember the March 2010 flood.

[@learrist]

21:14 - Apple Cinemas was Showcase Cinemas until 2021 when it closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic

[@2NDFLB-CLERK]

▪️ You spelled BOOGEYMAN-19 and Pretendemic wrong... 🟥

[@docholidayproductions]

Last comment I swear you should see the boulevard Mall out here in Amherst New York it's like this mall design wise but almost everything is closed with the exception of maybe three or four stores...

[@theconfusingwords]

Oh man I’m trying to get out to New York to film soooooo bad!!!!

[@docholidayproductions]

@@theconfusingwords if you ever do it let me know I could probably show you a few spots if you were in the area even make a day out of it the boulevard Mall is on its last legs and we used to have the summit Park Mall out here it's closed down now completely except for a fun center on one end.. Downtown Niagara Falls had a mall but it's completely gutted out now... There's a lot of stuff out here that's interesting a lot of it's boring too but there's still a lot of history out here...

[@CSXfan618]

Macy's moved at least once in 2006. Macy's originally occupied the former Jordan Marsh space, which Macy's acquired Jordan Marsh in 1995, then with the Federated-May merger in 2006, moved to the former G. Fox/Filene's space. Target and Sports Authority took the former Jordan Marsh space in 2009. Jordan's was originally Caldor, then became Old Navy in 1999 when Caldor liquidated. The food court was added in 1990, after original anchor Peerless went bankrupt.

[@9trf690]

I went to this mall about a year ago, for the first time in probably 15 years, and I was pleasantly surprised! They got what you need and they’re keeping up with it pretty well. That whole strip has literally everything you need. I like the new garden city plaza down the road from there too.

[@theconfusingwords]

I really do like this whole strip as far as shopping. It’s everything you need right along there and some good restaurants. I used to live out here about 10 years ago. I never went to Providence and always went here. I’ll have to check out Garden City Plaza! Is that the place in Cranston?

[@9trf690]

@@theconfusingwords yup it’s the one in Cranston! They did a really good job with it.

[@JM-xp6hb]

I think before sports authority it was Jordan Marsh

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

Good to see you back. Hope you're doing well

[@theconfusingwords]

Thank you! I’m so happy to be healed up and back to filming!! It was a rough surgery and just had to drive 7 hours to get a new car this week it’s been a crazy few weeks but I’m happy to be back! I’m working way less now so actually have time to film now

[@theconfusingwords]

I hope you’re doing great!!

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

@@theconfusingwords thanks! I know you definitely grabbed some Auntie Annes before u left here lol! Impossible to go to a mall without it. Thats wild, well I'm glad you're able to get back to filming! Just celebrated my 30th the past couple wkds. Its nice to have a lil break ha

[@matthart1853]

Hi the confusing words you should go check out the hampshire mall again in hadley it was just sold recently so not sure if they are keeping the mall open or if they will be closing that mall in the near future

[@theconfusingwords]

Omg really? I will definitely check it out again soon!! I am going to check out the Holyoke mall next week. Thanks for the heads up!!

[@junkbunch1302]

lets gooo!! a mall vid!

[@theconfusingwords]

Yes!!! Finally getting back out there!! Lol

[@kencayer1628]

Have you ever noticed that Subway seems to have an unpleasant odor coming from it? I can't even place what it is but its disgusting. Interesting to see a Jordan's Furniture in a mall. Great to see you back making videos. Enjoy your summer.

[@theconfusingwords]

Subways have a smell that is sooo bad. I can’t imagine working at one or near one. lol. Jordan’s furniture is moving into malls now! Which is surprising! And I hope you’re having an amazing summer too! Thank you ☺️

[@Laserashton]

This was the first Jordan's Furniture to be located within a mall!

[@RichardHeistand-x9e]

I love your mall videos I just subscribed to your channel I was just wondering how tall are you an I love the Pokémon videos

Awww thanks so much! I just put out a new Pokémon video! I am only 4’ 11” 😆

This mall used to be a lot busier and had much better stores i still go here atleast once a month

[@pattycarljackson]

It sucks malls are dying and i think they could have done more so they wouldn’t.

[@loungeact1212]

No more Newport Creamery in there sadly.

I love the warwick mall ive been there a couple times its a nice spot

[@theconfusingwords]

It is! I would definitely stop back again soon!! ☺️

The last time I went to Warwick Mall was back in summer of 2023. Then I visited again on Thanksgiving week. 😁😁😁

@TheConfusingWords oh and Dentists suckkkk. Make sure you get not just 2 but 3 opinions. I went to 2 to get bone graft surgery estimates. 2 said $40,000 up front, no insurance! The 3rd said $9,000….in 4 payments & insurance coverage!!! So $40k is a big diff versus $9k! Too many greedy people in the medical/dental field
