I am totally using your line if I’m approached by a salesperson. “ no thank you, I’m driving” I love it!

[@Hakuna65Matata]

Where the glass elevator is used to be a circular ramp.

[@nicholascolabella2181]

I live in Lehigh valley, it’s a pretty good mall. There is an Apple Store on the exterior mall space. You missed the Dunderbachs German restaurant on lower level next to macys. Good bratwurst and lots of beer to choose from. Love ur vid, keep up the great work and take care. Go Phills!!!!!

[@john678]

I’ve been gone from the Valley for almost 25 years. Didn’t know any of the stores. Great to hear that Dunderbachs is still there. Loved them !

[@RapidTransit1941]

Driving by Citizens Bank Yesterday on the way to Washington DC. I immediately began to shout HERE WE ARE CITIZENS BANK PARK, HOME OF THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES!! ITS ALWAYS FUN IN 301 while on the highway, you make great videos!

[@cigarsandpins4781]

I live in Whitehall where the mall is located. Been here all my life. This place still gets packed! I actually avoid it because I hate crowds. Used to ride my bike there in the 80s when spaceport arcade was there. Good times! I could spend the whole day there on five bucks😊

[@Hakuna65Matata]

BRO you should've had lunch at Dunderbak's. Great food, I know the people that work there.

[@bob4364]

Hey Philly Captain, great video and more from Lehigh Valley Mall-Whitehall Twp, Pa..Keep on, enjoy & TOODLES..

[@Keith58x]

Back in the 1950's to early 1960's, there was a minor league baseball park on that site.

I never knew this existed.

[@joelbarilla7677]

DUNDERBAKS Market Cafe is the best place to eat. Great food

[@joangravel2436]

Thanks for the video I enjoyed watching good to see the mall with people in it

[@notoriouswes215]

HERE WE ARE!!!!!

[@johndersham1]

I touch the button on all of your video's. You keep me informed and laughing.

[@georgemcgowanfl]

Lehigh Valley Mall is anything but dead. But it’s the only mall in the valley that isn’t dead. Good thing you went on a weekday or you would be stuck in traffic on 22.

[@Hakuna65Matata]

OH GOD RUSH HOUR ON 22 SUCKS!!!!!!

[@markmilitant]

I think everyone must be working today but it’s not a bad mall it gets busy especially with a new Apple and LuLulemon store.

[@smarangolo1234]

Im at this mall often, it's not dead and if your there on a weekend it's still full of people. No empty locations is a clear indication. The place is hopping especially during the holiday seasons. It's just like it was 30 yrs ago. Thankfully. You must have gone either during midweek or early in the morning

[@MM-bh7me]

That was so fun being able to be there again through your guidence! I lived in Allentown back in 1991 and haven´t been there since. I am Swedish and took a job as a nanny to live in America for a year and to learn the language.

[@IanOConnor-mi2rb]

You can never beat fashion square in orlando. It's only got a movie theater and a hot topic open

[@Christy903]

Used to love Echelon Mall in NJ - now Town Center. Now I go there just for Boscov’s.

[@brucesmith9144]

How Boscov’s still survives in a turbulent retail industry when others have shuttered stores is remarkable.

[@Christy903]

@@brucesmith9144 yes, but I’m glad it is.

[@brucesmith9144]

@@Christy903 completely agree with you.

[@davidmusser511]

I remember when that place was hopping!

[@Alex-bj7ot]

*Great video Captain!* 🎉

[@ericb1876]

Looks perfect to me. Not too packed and clean

[@catfishunter28]

Theres a brewery outside and dunderbachs has staten optimator.

[@danieldrago8766]

bro! I didn't know you were in the Valley!

[@scoopskitheband]

Haven't been to this mall, but definitely know that song! ✌️🤘

[@SuzanneA618]

Wow! Nice mall🎉

[@master-kq3nw]

👍

[@BrianRoeder]

I did all the marbel in this mall and all the store and all over the state tile man local 5 my dad built it them in the beginning

[@brucesmith9144]

That mall has changed a bit since I was last in it, perhaps 2006. I saw two youths get busted for shoplifting at the Macy’s entrance facing Route 22. As I was walking in, some undercover agents nabbed them and their getaway car sped off.

[@alexg5706]

HEEEEEEERE WE AAAWWWRREEEE!

[@ScottParisi]

No arcade, eh? We need Todd Tuckey to expand into Lehigh Valley.

[@Prowl76]

The Pearle Vision that was on the right across from the pizza place when he first walked in was where the old Time Out arcade used to be. It closed in the mid 2000s I think. I used to work there in the late 90s/early 2000s.

[@WillaMina-q3n]

I saw your Lehigh Valley iron pigs video!

[@davidcampbell7593]

Awesome job I like your dead mall videos

[@DanielCarpenterLightMan]

Aye captain

[@Ericcartmannn234]

Go to Christiana mall in Delaware

[@cranbizzo]

Is this hot sauce sold on line?

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

Yes. hecklerhotsauce.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaaKTUBG7r8Hvj13c2miVTuiqGdp_PHhaNd3Wsd0mgtVv_rvCjJ44DPEpcM_aem_Af4dKt_TVRojUpyoWft1uK69QYJAUsUEWyizGC9yI-u6UwuEC-8HbVJnOJx-HVGY9l5GCYj7SabQ3f6dNjvAyA_1

[@eddiepealock]

Why don’t you ever go on the escalators at any of the malls that you go to?

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

It’s in the first five seconds of the video

[@eddiepealock]

@@ThePhillyCaptain oh, I missed it in this instance. It just seemed like you always walked outside to go between floors while you’re filming and talking in the bulk of the video, I noticed that in your video at the Quaker Bridge Mall too.

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

I usually use the elevators and escalators for the scoopski song

[@TheeBizard]

oh shit you know scoopski?

[@jalisky]

This at one time was a great mall with great shoppers and employees. I have never seen anything change so drastically for the worse. Around the beginning of 2002 this mall got really bad and dangerous as it's getting worse. I guess the good news is people are still coming and spending money but it's the bad crowd

[@goose33]

All i know is i drive almost an hr to get there and when i do i always go "why the hell did i come here?" Lol

[@graceperez5620]

Prom shoppers

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

Valid points

[@concrete981]

the mall is like a diamond that turned into a lump of coal.
