I worked at the movie theater in 1975 with one of my best childhood friends. We worked the candy counter. At that time the theater was just on the lower level, and there were just two screens. We worked there when “Jaws” opened. Teenage memories.

Sam, I'm glad you told The Proper People that. Here was my comment to them before I saw your comment: "The Proper People, you're too young to remember but every mall built around 1970 that had internal theaters had two movie theaters with huge screens. Then in the late 1980s all of these malls subdivided their 2 theaters into 4 smaller ones, so that what you were left with was these little matchbox theaters with tiny screens. It really ruined the whole experience of going to the movies. This was a phenomena that happened all over the country. So you're right, in essence, when you say that space was retro-fitted to be a movie theater. "

I recall them going to a Mexican restaurant called "Chi-Chi's" and they would also stop at this pub like place for beers. That movie theater is probably where I saw Star Wars at age 3 or 4 for the first time. Amazing!!

The first time I heard about this mall was because of you guys: the building WAS in great shape and certainly looked as though it'd be ready to undergo repairs for future reopening. You guys did an excellent job filming and showing your respect for the mall as you guys knew some things were going down with it. Unfortunately (since this video is at least 3 years old, maybe 4), the current shape it's in is miserable: there's by FAR at least 60x the graffiti as there is in this video and the vandalism makes you sick to the stomach (pretty much all the glass (store fronts, skylights, and windows) are all shattered, the restrooms had been destroyed, reports of murder there now (recent videos of explorers showed blood on the floor in the courtyard and police tape in the one backroom that once contained overstock), AT LEAST 6 fires have been started there since 2021 (latest one was in the former foodcourt back in August of 2022), the ceilings are beginning to cave in and due to black mold and sewage, the air is too toxic to breathe without any mask. The owners refuse to do anything with the place and have since racked up thousands in fines (you can watch short clips from Milwaukee News or vids on here under the topic). From what's known as of now, the city is planning on taking it back if the owners don't take action and the city will tear it down themselves because of it's pitiful condition. No one is allowed in the building and if caught, they'd be arrested instantly without questions. If you guys see videos of the mall today, they'll likely make you cry. You guys showed pure respect when you visited at the time the building was getting sealed off for protection and left with images and video but left only footsteps. Aside of the devastating news, I love your vids and enjoy how educational they are and the amount of respect you guys show for the places you visit.

After closing, I showered off in the fountain after I was able to figure out how to turn it back on. Unfortunately the county sheriff found out what I was doing and ran me (along with three other squatters) out of there...the place was demolished a month later.

Those malls are the perfect footprint for a community college. Stores turn into classrooms, you have wide aisles and a food court, a few sets of bathrooms scattered about, and one of the bigger stores could be turned into a gym rather easily or a library. All the basic infrastructure is already there, just to remodel it.

They took over a former theater when it moved to a separate building nearby. They turned the concession area into the front desk, a couple of auditoriums into lecture halls; even took advantage of the high ceilings to build a second floor. I didn't even realize it used to be a theater until someone mentioned it in passing.

My mom and i watched jfk in that theatre. We went to northridge frequently when i was a kid in the 80's and part of the 90's. These malls were the best during the holidays...especially Christmas. The one downtown Milwaukee was the best for christmas in the 80's. Now its just random stores. If there is some there anymore.

I agree but maybe what makes me so sad is that I’m the type of person who sees (probably too much) potential in such things and much is going to waste. Even if it were demolished, I believe there is so much that could be reused and recycled, so much so, that very little should be considered trash (if that makes sense). I would LOVE to be able to go thru places like these for strictly reclamation.

@Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice
@Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice 3 жыл бұрын
@@allie5968 Yup. Those and the backrooms frequently overlap with the concept of "LIMINAL SPACES". Liminal means threshold. A liminal psychological state is one of ambiguity and disorientation after something begins but before it's completed. Liminal spaces are places where people pass through but don't stay. In total, disorienting thresholds. A street, or a door frame is a liminal space. An abandoned building is definitely a liminal space. A hallway or train station or hotel room is a liminal space. Crossroads, bridges, mountain passes, those are liminal spaces. A school during summer break, or a nightclub during operation. Liminal spaces can come with or without people, but many places are more liminal when you're alone. I'd suggest, that being alone, itself, is a liminal state. According to wikipedia, "Major transformations occur at crossroads and other liminal places, at least partly because liminality-being so unstable-can pave the way for access to esoteric knowledge or understanding of both sides. Liminality is sacred, alluring, and dangerous."

These newer, bigger, and more modern malls that popped up before 2008 but not exactly 80s and 90s, and are still barely hanging on will be a goldmine for future generations to explore.

It’d be so cool if they revived this mall somehow. I actually love the design - and I think a lot of people would like to see a retro-style mall nowadays (at least where I’m from). Looks like a cool place too, sad there wasn’t more good usage of it

As you were walking through, I was visualizing the stores where they use to be... Right on it's heel is Brookfield Square, Southridge and Mayfair mall(s)...

It’s interesting seeing the shape of Northridge now. I grew up in Milwaukee, remember shopping there with my family, remember seeing Look Who’s Talking Too in that theatre... waiting in line for a ticket while my grandmother told us how much she hated Roseanne. What a lot of people maybe don’t know or don’t talk about is all of the socioeconomic factors that went into the failure of Milwaukee’s north side, not just the mall. High end condos and apartment complexes were built next to hi-rise subsidized housing along 76th street combined with white flight, and the scandal when in 1992 Jesse Anderson, a white man, stabbed his wife at the Northridge TGI Friday’s and then said a black man did it... the already hyper segregated city became wary of the mall, and property values around it dropped nearly overnight. Today, the North side is a shell of what it was, with still-low property values and high crime. The Chinese investment group that owns the mall has promised to redevelop it as an Asian goods market. In a dozen years they’ve done nothing, and earlier this year a maintenance worker was electrocuted and killed. It’s amazing how Northridge is like a microcosm of Milwaukee, of what can happen when shifting politics, racial tensions, and a collapsing neighborhood combine. Thank you guys for shining the light on this poor ruin, and for making the trek to Milwaukee. You guys rock, and I’m so thankful you do what you do. Keep being the thoughtful, reflective, informed and respectful explorers you are!

I grew up in Milwaukee as well, and was really interested when this popped up. I remember going Christmas shopping there as a teenager. I agree with what you said, there were many reasons for this mall going belly up. I worked for penzeys spices in their call centre before I moved away, and I know that the owner tried to buy this place to expand production and warehouse space. He paid the back taxes and was going to have the town of Brown Deer transfer ownership to him, but the Chinese company refused to give it up, and they ended up fighting it in court and paying him back the back taxes he paid, so he had to walk away. They had a chance to revitalize the building and bring jobs to the area, and they lost it because the do nothing chinese owners refused.

Wow. Your comment on the video was very interesting. It gave a little more insight into where this mall was and why it’s closed now. Malls all over the country have gone downhill, lost popularity and so many of the stores have closed. Maybe maintaining such a large place was more than they had imagined. The amount people pay to rent the spaces in the mall is crazy. Especially considering that business is way down in most malls everywhere. The mall where I grew up opened it’s doors in the fall of 1982 I think. People were so excited about it. No more shopping in the weather. Everything under one roof. As with everywhere else that mall is fading. Anchor stores like Sears, Montgomery Ward, and just in the past few months, Macy’s have closed. A large shopping center was built starting with a Walmart nearby, away from downtown where the mall is, and now there’s Kohl’s, Target, Marshall’s, dozens of restaurants from McDonald’s to Red Lobster along with convenience stores, gas stations and more. I feel like that someday soon malls will be a thing of the past. Honestly I’m not that sad about it.
