H010 The biggest city in Michigan's Upper Penninsula, Marquette has two malls. The Marquette Mall is 97% dead. It has a car dealership at one end in the former Red Owl supermarket, and the DMV in a former movie theater at the other end. And a Dollar Tree discount store. The parking lot is bracketed by a Wendy's, a Pizza Hut and a car wash. The Westwood Mall had three anchor stores: Pranges' lasted 20 years, then was replaced by a Younkers, which closed in 2017. K-Mart lasted into the early 2000's, then it was replaced by Kohl's, which is still going strong. J.C. Penny was originally in downtown Marquette, then it moved to anchor the third arm of Westwood in the early 90's. That store started losing business when Penny's was reorganized in the early 2000's, then it was downsized a few years ago. The space was used as a Halloween Super Store for a couple of Octobers, then went kerplunk. A dozen retail spaces were taken over by a giant M.C. SPORTS store, which lasted for less than 10 years. And now that space is also being used around October as the Halloween Super Store for costumes and scary props.

The dead mall nearest me is in a town that's dying a sad, slow and painful death. It'd be perfect for some zombie game. I go to the Chinese Buffet in the mall every Christmas and our "landmarks" are abandoned buildings. The local mill finally shut its doors a few years back, so I expect to see more abandonment. I mean, I found 10 abandoned buildings trying to find a side street to park down (No success and I chickened out after passing a burned out grocery store). The only thing keeping it going is a Historically Black College, but its teetering on the edge. I mean, they were practically offering me a discount for being a "local" white person. I wish I was joking.

One of the big buildings used to be a day care, but they closed down due to black mold I believe? There used to be a nice pet store there, ice cream stores, and a license plate office there also.

Dan I have a very unique dead mall for you to check out. The Sunset Center mall in Amarillo, Texas was one of the first malls in Texas, and was the 3rd largest in the state for a while. It's half strip mall, half traditional mall that opened in September 1960 with a Penny's, Sears, Woolworth's and a Gunn Bro's service station as anchors. The Sears was a separate building that was eventually renovated and used for the hq of the now defunct Hastings Entertainment. The mall started it's death pretty early in the 70's when the bigger and now demolished Western Plaza was opened less than a mile away(!). It remained an open mall until the mid-early 2000's when the interior of the mall was closed and renovated. The mall is now a large art gallery with artists able to rent the old stores as galleries, and a portion of the Penny's used as an auditorium. Probably the most unique "dead" mall I've heard of. Now, the Panhandle metro area is served by Westgate mall, Anchored by Belle's, Penny's, Sears, and 2 Dillards, a different store for men and women. The men's store used to be a Mervyn's

I remember being like 5, so around 2000/2001, and there was a furniture store and a surplus store (I got some cool 70s italian capsule tinker toy things for behaving well on a trip there, and I remember a lot of wallpaper was there too. Can't remember the name) inside the mall, with a 99 cent store and party supply store in the strip mall portion.

I love your choice of Vapor Wave for these dead mall videos Dan. The Eden Mall video is awesome one of my favorites and the track you used is epic ( Right through me ) . You are truly a pioneer in dead mall ambiance, often imitated never duplicated.

Lots of dead malls around Cleveland. Dan, if you're reading this, you should check out Euclid Square Mall before it's torn down next year to build an Amazon facility.

I absolutely enjoy these, having grown up in the 80's and coming from a Generation of "Hanging at the Mall" these videos really bring back the nostalgia!. That Galleria Mall was stunning!, really loved the well kept shimmering Brass Railing with the Salmon color tile and turquoise color scheme. The Glass archway was truly spectacular!, that door handle at 8:26 is late 80's in a nutshell. I really miss this type of architecture Mall's once had. Superb Dan, as always Sir!.

Even though malls are failing, outlet malls are thriving. And outlets pretty much have the same stores as the malls. I guess people like stores that are outside?
@thirteenfury7 жыл бұрын
Mr. Arnold I think it's just the illusion that you're shopping in Main Street, Townsville, USA, instead of a mall. That and many of the stores have reduced prices, better sales, and carry stuff that's been discontinued or put into overstock at other store locations.

Dan explained it in another video, I think. Basically, people don't enjoy dragging through an enclosed mall anymore. They like to park in front of where they want to go and go there.

Mr. Arnold I am absolutely wondering why American malls are faltering while most Asian countries I've been thru (Singapore, Philippines, the Gulf countries) with less robust economies have a booming mall industry. Even with Internet selling.

Native Clevelander here. I was a kid in '87 when the Galleria opened to much fanfare. My parents and I make an annual trek downtown during the holidays (still!), and I can recall walking into there as a young bijagirl. It truly is an impressive display of light! I'm thrilled that you stopped in and let us all see.
