DEAD MALL in Orange, Ca. is getting DEMOLISHED! The Village at Orange - lets do a full walk around

Another excellent video sir. Breaks my heart to see the Orange Mall gutted. So many great memories hanging with friends, back to school shopping, and catching the midnight movie at the Orange 6 theater behind The Broadway. 👍✌️

[@hessian1776]

This truly saddens me 😞- so many wonderful childhood memories with my parents, shopping at B. Dalton Booksellers, and the huge Toy Store they had, I believe almost next door to the bookstore! Oh, my mom LOVED to shop at The Broadway LOL!! We were so sad when that went and was later replaced with, of all things, a Wal-Mart *sigh*...truly a sign of the times. Also, yes, the little 6-Theater behind the Mall was where I saw so many movies with family and friends during my youth!! Christmas time at the Orange Mall was also a blast getting to hang-out in the toy section at Sears (which was in their basement/downstairs) while my father was picking out gifts for family friends!

I met my wife in 1971 at Sears. She worked at the telephone catalogue department downstairs. Our first date-so-to-speak-we spent walking the original footprint of the mall from Sears down to Penny's.

My best friend in high school had a thing for the Carl’s Jr. on the Sears end of the mall. I also remember frequenting the walk-in movie theater during my high school and college years. For a brief time in college, I worked at Things Remembered, and I even covered a shift for my high school sweetheart, who couldn’t make it to her shift at a kiosk after having a bit too much to drink the night before.

We later got jobs working at the mall. I also worked at that CVS too when it was inside the mall. very small. I wish they would do mixed use because I personally would love to own a condo You can then take your elevator down You could put medical doctors in urgent care facilities and there that cater specifically to geriatric practice. Add in your trader Joe's and a few other amenities and guess what folks You've got a great area to live. I like to see the movies so put in an AMC but those reclining lounge chairs and let's get to it I want a new place to live that's fun and they could have done it here. Added in a dark dog park and a few other things and they would have had people lining up to live there. Sad sad day. I know Simon shopping centers is doing that in Tacoma and a few other places in the Pacific Northwest. Doctors need cheaper rent in so if you build a suite of medical providers as well as have a place to shop etc it's perfect for seniors who can't drive they could take their golf cart or motorized shooter to get around. Buses could come right to that location and then take them out to the casino and all the other places that seniors like to go too.

@@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN U look like Alex Jons, has anyone told u that? I thought u were him when i first saw your pic on a video thumbnail, lol. Btw. I saw an article on an app called Newsbreak: It mentioned Crenshaw Mall. But it didn't elude to it closing down. I can only assume it did. But the news story had pop up ads and you couldn't read the story. I know u cover mostly malls and sites closing down, but how about South Coat Plaza mall ( As being the most expensive mall in Southern Cali/ ex. watch stores: Lange and Sohn that sell $100,000 watches/ , also Century City Mall being one of the most expensive in the sense that I can barely afford parking to see that mall, lol. I believe they have luxury watch stores there too and a very upscale store selection.

[@kendalgee5808]

@@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN I don't know if u remember Falbrook Mall in West Hills, California in the 1990's. But I google imaged searched it and saw old pics of the interior, If you can find enough old pics you can recreate a video of how it used to be and what is today. Same with Topanga mall ( west Hills ), which has since expanded in 2024 to a much larger more luxurious mall, and the new development of bars/restaurants/strip before Promenade Mall in Woodland hills. I think promenade mall may still be the same from the 1990's. Also U might as well cover panorama mall. Hell, all malls in So cal. They don't have to be closed down, cuz one day soon they might.. U got a cool concept of a channel. Hell all malls in the different area codes in so cal.

Thanks Amazon and all who use it. And $5.00 per gallon gas.

[@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN]

Amazon surely screwed things up for retail.

[@stanleyjohnson2582]

So true

[@MadisonConnor2525]

I love Amazon. I don’t have to drive to a store and find it’s out of stock. I order it online, price is same or less and is on my door step the next day. I return items at my local UPS Store with no long return line and no hassle. 😊

[@stanleyjohnson2582]

@@MadisonConnor2525 Part of it for me is, I like the social aspect, I want to touch and feel the quality and i don’t like mailing back things I don’t want. I do understand the convenience of ordering online but, I’m more of a hands on and like to just get out and in public. Maybe some adult ADD. 😆

[@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN]

@stanleyjohnson2582 its what a lot of us are used to. Going out a seeing things even tho Amazon is just a click away.

I used to like that mall. What are they going to build? I think they want to build houses and or apartments. We don't need more of that.15 min cities HMMMM. Sad to see it go. Yes we had a hot humid summer.

I thought they just redid all these parts of the mall in the early 2000s and the early 90s too, anyhow just be careful videoing they can be disturbing asbestos, that you can't see or smell!
