There used to be a waterfall in the center at 3:40 of the video. It was a wishing well also and people would put their change in there.

Malls were the thing of my childhood. Everything revolved around them...a one stop place where you shopped & ate.

Absolutely. If you were a generation x kid the mall is where you met your friends, took your first girlfriend to. Saw movies, got your first job. Now they’re all being town down. Truly sad.

When I got my license in 1998, i spent a LOT of time at concord mall with friends. Guys tried to meet girls, vice versa, just hang out and eat. I miss mall culture

@barneshomestead1240 with the loss of concord mall, I feel like elkhart is losing part of its identity and many of us are losing cherished memories

This looks like it was never updated. It has that period darker mall look.

I grew up in Elkhart. I have SO many memories there. When i finally got my license in 98, i spent a lot of time there with friends just hanging out. It saddens me to see it like this.

This is a fantastic video and very relaxing. While it's sad to see Concord like this, I'm still happy this video exists.

Thanks for showing us the progress the new owners have been making, that was really neat to see. 12:19 - Too bad you couldn't go in that store behind those two portable heaters. That store was called New-Man's it has sat abandoned since 1981 and no one ever opened a store in that space since. It had bright orange shag carpet on the floor and was very much a 1970s time capsule inside. They used it the last few years for storage and it was always neat to peek inside when the doors were open.

its so refreshing seeing someone make abandoned mall videos feel so raw and real and not with the spooky undertone that most larger youtubers use to get views. Keep doing what you're doing man these videos are amazing. You're braver than all of us by going into these buildings.

Ethan super cool video. 🎉 I think your new style of editing is really going to grow your viewers. That little piece you did in the made me feel nostalgic like I shopped there and of course tge melodramatic music made your viewers feel submerged in your content. Concord mall ... what a sad fate awaits such a beautiful place. Past explorers always described this place as a window to when malls were built with vision. I've always seen videos about this mall been dead but it's so sudden that it's already closed and already in a state of demolition. Hey also when you was at Eastland mall, you mentioned you explored Cincinnati mills mall so I await. 🎉

I went to Cincinnati mills and found a way in but I didn't risk it because I heard creepy things about the security guards there

Great video! I went to that mall in April of last year when it was still open and I took a bunch of photos. I didn’t know it was demolished until just now! At 5:38 the wall on the left side of that hallway (that was demolished) had a really nice mural on it. Too bad they couldn’t save it.

Super cool footage yet super depressing to see this time capsule being eviscerated. They'll never build them like this again.

Heartbreaking. My kids and I spent many many hours in that mall in the nineties. P. S. Long before it was Carson's it was Elder Beerman.

I was born in 1972, this was my local mall. Many good memories here as a young kid. Sitting at the center fountain with my mom, eating a hot 🥨 & drinking a coke out of one of those paper coke cups. As a teen spending hours in the arcade playing Pole Position & the likes. I've been wondering what the demo/reno was looking like inside. It's sad to see it like this but I was curious. I sat in those conversation pits many times. And I climbed on those pyramid planters as a 6 year old every chance I got. They didn't have the No climbing signs back then lol. In fact, if they are going to demolish those..I'd love a chunk of those tiles as a memento if anyone can hook me up.

Thanks for the video. Seems like malls are a dying breed. It's sad. I wonder how much of that is caused by online retail sales such as Amazon. Glad that guy let you explore what was left. He not only wanted to disguise you, but more so probably wanted to keep you safe so a forklift or something would see you since they were doing construction in there. I wonder what that Christian store sold and I'm assuming the hobby lobby closed too?

@@Polothemius I guess thats why they walled off the mall entrance. At least they are repurposing some of the space.
