It seems like wherever you go shopping that many of the stores are closing down today. I went to the Beverly Center on La Cienega Blvd. to find out if the mall is dead I remember this mall being really popular about 20 years ago I have not step foot in the mall since over 15 years so I wanted to find out myself if it’s still worth it to go there

[@Rainwatercolor]

I'm old now... I remember shopping in the malls for the family. I miss those days when I had money. I live paycheck to paycheck now. Inflation is horrific.

[@TUBESPECIFIC1]

Same here. Not doing well in my 50's for my knees and feet hurt too much and too tired and heavy feeling to handle working full time like when I was younger. So I live on much less while the inflation is horrific. I too was able to travel, shop, eat out, and engage life more when I was young up until about 2022. I find I'm unemployable since 2022 so I just live simple off my $1700 a month Veterans disability watching KZbin instead of doing things I want to do like travel and fishing. I've tried a lot in recent years to get a job at VA or through a VA case manager, but was told I don't qualify for anything like compensated work therapy program for unemployed veterans despite having a degree and a clean background. It's simpler to not have a car, but public transit is limited. I live in Salt Lake which sorta a smaller version of LA is many regards minus the cost and those trees and plants. I don't' see the economy and country getting better during the 10 to 20 years we have lef on our lives. America is just shell of it's former glory and going down which saddens me to no end so these videos while we're still here give us some quality of life.

I worked at the Beverly Center Mall 39 years ago. I'm now 72 and live in North Georgia. I worked at Optical Fashion Center and Dr. Levelthal's Vision Care Center. I met a lot of celebrities. I remember seeing Joan Collins coming up the first escalator you were on. When I came back from lunch, she was at my workplace. I met so many celebrities there and my favorite was Patrick Stewart. Very cool guy and I spoke with him for a long time. At that time the Borg episodes were in production. I met Eddie Van Halen, Elton John, Muhammad Ali, Marvin Hagler, Marie Osmond, Cher, Robert Vaughan, Fran Jeffries, the guy who played Horshak in Welcome Back Kotter, Pepe Ludmir from Peru, Whoopi Goldberg, Stephen Bishop, and Bruce Springsteen. That's just who I can remember. Thanks for the update on the Beverly Center!

Beverly Center died with the arrival of The Grove. Even remodeling the place didn't bring flocks of people back. It's so empty these days, I'm shocked its not shut down. When Beverly Center got rid of the movie theater for Forever 21 retail store, that signaled the beginning of the end.

Sadly, except for a handful that are still surviving, enclosed malls are on the endangered list. Many have already closed, while others are becoming ghost towns with empty stores throughout. I was the store manager of Taco Bell on Beverly Blvd just down the street from Beverly Center in 1979/1980, before the mall even opened. It was quite exciting when it did open, and it was THE place to go in the area. It was a different time. Now, people seem to prefer outdoor shopping and dining destinations, at least here in sunny California.

damn bro did you ever go to the galleria in Redondo Beach on Hawthorne BLVD? Or Del Amo mall? I was born in 2005 and even since then del amo has undergone drastic changes while galleria has remained as is for the most part besides swapping some stores.

@@maximusandr I've lived in SoCal all my life and I think I've been to every mall at least once. They're trying to breathe new life into Del Amo Mall (I was there not long ago) but it's not like it used to be. When I was a teenager and in my early 20s, that mall was packed. Fun fact: Del Amo Mall was originally two separate malls that were fairly close together, so they simply connected them making them one larger mall.

Then I discovered the food court is no longer there, which used to be packed with shoppers having a bite to eat. Not only that, but there were so few shoppers in there, I couldn't believe the place is still open. Maybe they should tear it down, and bring back the old kiddie amusement park that used to be there when I was a kid.

And by the way, the Beverly Center now has these futuristic elevators that don't work. You push the button for the level you want to go to while you're on the outside of the elevator, not on the inside. So if you change your mind about what floor you want to go to, you're out of luck. But the real problem is, the elevator wouldn't take me to the floor that I wanted to go to. I had to get out, and take the escalator.

[@sherwoodla6535]

The Beverly Center was never a very busy mall like Century City or Westside Pavillion malls, not even during the 80s/90s. Their appeal has always been more to high end shoppers and not the hang-out crowd. It aligns itself with Rodeo Drive more than a typical family mall.

I’ve shopped and worked at the Beverly Center for years. I think one of the biggest downsides to it is that it doesn’t have a food court. On top of that, shoplifting and smash and grabs have become so common in California it makes people feel uneasy working and shopping in malls. Also the Beverly Center tries to cater to both the high end crowd and the average Joe but I think these days they’re losing both of them while trying to maintain their identity as a mall. For me these days I’d rather drive a little further and go to Glendale Galleria or Culver City mall where there is free parking, a food court, a gym, more stores for the working class people and feels a little safer.

[@thedeadbaby]

Botanical Garden in PV was a dump site. Dominguez Hills was open space & oil derricks. Didn't have to pay to park at the beach. Marineland, Nike missle base, and lots of snakes in Palos Verdes. No traffic family Sunday drives. Kids roamed the streets on bikes & shot bb guns in the open fields. Huge naval base & shipyard in San Pedro /Long Beach. The Pike & POP. No skyscrapers in downtown L.A. Still had oranges, cows, and dairys around. Not much of anything in Orange /Ventura Counties were mostly small towns and agriculture. Ocean Blvd in Long Beach was full of sailors & peep shows. Colorado Blvd in Pasadena was not fancy at all same nor was State Sreet in Santa Barbara. Disneyland was an inexpensive family oriented destination (same as Knoxs). Would spot celebreties around the westside & Hollywood no big deal. Pace of life in SoCal was much slower & was known to be "laid back". The SoCal from my childhood is a long gone cherished distant memory.

One of the worst renovations ever. They sucked all of the life out of the place. It feels like a hospital now.

Sold my condo on Burton Way in Beverly Hills, a 15 minute walk to the Beverly Center. Many homeless began showing up in tents along the center median and surrounding the Beverly Center. Moved to a tropical paradise outside of the US, and have never been happier.

[@petroskyrillos]

Congratulations on your significant decision! We made a similar choice by returning to Poland. It's unexpected, but here we are, and we're not alone. Those who remain are often unable to afford to leave or have strong family ties they don't want to abandon.

[@jimferguson7340]

Congratulations on your move! I am happy to report, however, that Burton Way has been restored to its glory. The center median are all restored now with green grass and there is a “no camping” ordinance along the entirety of Burton Way and the surrounding neighborhood. No encampments on or around Burton anymore, and the police do a great job keeping it that way. This happened about a year ago and it’s been doing well ever since.

Great to see that some Malls are still going. I used to love them and go to any Mall in any town. But that is 20-30 years ago. Today, I like more walking outside than inside. Nevertheless, you should open an online store and sell the pictures you made over the years. That 3 set 6th street bridge picture is awesome. Well done.

[@angusorvid8840]

I haven't been to Beverly Center since 2004! I went to some Chinese restaurant that was very good, can't remember the name. The mall didn't feel particularly lively back then either. In the 80s and 90s it was hopping. I was a west side kid, so I hung out mainly in Westwood or Santa Monica's Promenade. I would rarely go to the Beverly Center. I only went there when I hung out with friends who lived in that area of Beverly Hills and Fairfax, Hollywood.

LA as a whole is slipping into ruins. From the Santa Monica Prominade, to downtown LA, to Long Beach, to Beverly Hills. Closed down business's everywhere. Homeless everywhere. Graffiti and trash everywhere. LA is not what it was 5, 6, or 7 years ago. It's getting out of hand how far it's gotten.

This mall used to be middle-class friendly with a food court. Now it’s like an indoor Rodeo Drive. It also used to have movie theaters but just could not keep up with the comptition with the theaters at The Grove.

[@Blaze-ee8pi]

Hi Mike! 🛍🏬Beverly Center is Los Angeles, not Beverly Hills. I used to go there all the time almost every week. Macy's was the best store back in the day and had the coolest clothes, especially from cutting edge designers and companies. Beverly Center was jam packed with people in the 1980s and 1990s. When the 2000s arrived the mall started getting a lot less popular as time progressed on, as a lot of people were buying online. The good thing was Beverly Center always had people inside but just not as packed as it was in the past. This entire area the majority are single people or young couples, this is not a family area, that's why there are so many bars and clubs in this area. Beverly Center has always had really cheap parking, and back in the day parking was free. There are so many levels of parking it would never be no space available. The entire interior of the Beverly Center was re-done as you see it now. It didn't look like this in the mid 2000s. The food court area used to be huge, but the last times I was in there hardly anyone was buying the food, that's most likely why they closed it down.🌴🌴🌴
