He said GC Murphy's and I burst into tears. Last time I was at GC Murphy's was the downtown location in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania back in 1992. They had a restaurant in the basement and always sold fresh popcorn at at their lunch counter upstairs. I will never forget the smell. And I will never forget the taste of those corned beef tips we get from the deli.

my grandmother used to take me here around Christmas every year for the ride-able train set up they had. usually got grub from a restaurant up the road or from the food court after. the Mr. Rogers play ground was always a fun place to play on an empty weekend. although i will never experience they joys I had when i was younger, it was nice to know that someone cared enough to make them small memories for me. love ya grandma :)

Being that I am older than dirt, I just wanted to point out that the correct store name is either Joseph Horne, CO, or just Horne's. I was taken back when I heard you say Joseph Horne's (without the "Co."). My Mom worked there in the 30's and 40's. It was a quality store, and just a notch below Gimbel's and on par with Kaufmann's. Horne's was my favorite. My parents bought a Hammond Organ there is the late 50's and I took "organ" lessons in the downtown store for many years. It was memorable time I spent every Saturday with my Dad. I still have the organ.

Growing up in Churchill the Monroeville Mall was practically just down the road and I always loved shopping there. My first car loan as a teenager was from Equibank in the Monroeville Mall branch. Current I live in Eastern Pennsylvania but love knowing Monroeville Mall is still around. ❤

You nailed it. The Ice Palace is greatly missed. The rink was bad for hockey but the best for public skating, learn-to-skate classes and figure skating shows. The rink was packed for every session on the weekends during the fall and winter months. After morning hockey I would make my mom take me to Daisy Donuts.

WallieB, Thank you. I was in elementary school when I saw this mall being built. I can still remember tossing a coin in the dancing water fountain (illuminated red/green at Christmas), the meticulously mulched live plantings under the staircases, the koi pond, and the clock tower marionettes as if it were yesterday. I spent many pre-teen and teen hours at the ice skating rink and adjacent concession stand (a footlong and large pop please), pinball arcade (formerly a stock/investment firm and then Monroeville Mall Ministry), the movie theater (later the Best Buy building), or simply hanging out with friends on a Friday/Saturday night. Heck, I even worked in the nearby McDonald’s (before the fire) and K-Mart (pre-HomeGoods) store. So many memories. I’ll never forget the fitting rooms in the middle of the Merry-Go-Round clothing store. The “doors” were simply thin pieces of fabric hanging from a curtain rod. The sales girls would wait just long enough for you to take off your pants; then throw open the curtain and ask you loudly if everything was fitting ok. I swear that was part of their training manual. WallieB, Thanks again for letting me take a fun walk down memory lane.

I remember when this mall opened. I believe it was around July 1969. The traffic jam just to get into it would take 10-15 minutes. There was a Pup-A-Go-Go on the upper level. My dad and I would go out to the mall to get a hot-dog and watch the skaters. I bought my first stereo system at the Radio Shack on the upper level just down from where JC Penney is now. Back to school shopping always meant a trip to JC Penney. But if I needed extra dressy clothes like a suit, it was either Gimbels or Joseph Horne Co. That Firestone in the back parking lot was where my parents took the family car for “front end alignments”. They said it was the best alignment in the area. The first Saturday or so in December was Christmas shopping day at the mall. We’d get there late morning and stay until dinner, sometimes eating at the Brown Derby that was there. Those were good days. Thanks for the great video!

Loved this video, Wallie❤️❤️❤️ I was in high school when this mall was built. The former Hornes was a rich person’s store. Next to it was the classy jewelry store, Bailey, Banks & Biddle. At the opposite end was the poor man’s store, Gimbels; my personal favorite store. In the center was the infamous, Ice Palace. The restaurant, Stauffers was across the rink with a wall of windows overlooking the rink. It was pricey. On the opposite side of the rink was a grill that served the best hot dogs I’ve ever eaten. They had the natural casing style. They snapped or crunched when you bit into them. There was also an S. S. Kresge. Of course most people know this was the predecessor for KMart. All in all this was considered a classy mall. When I returned to the area for a visit in the mid 1980’s, the rink along with many other stores were gone. I was very sad. Good memories of the past still remain.

Sounds like this mall has slipped just a very slight bit, since it's glory years after it opened in the late 60s through(I'd guess) the 1980s. I wish they hadn't had removed the ice rink, which to me just sounds like yet another way to push profits(for the mall operator) over fun things to entertain shoppers while they were at the mall. And while the inside decor isn't as bad as a Hull(Storey Gibson, now mostly referred to as just Hull) mall, it feels like it was slightly blandized by CBL sometime in the 2000s or 2010s. That said I'm glad this mall still has a good occupancy rate, though the signs are there that it has slipped a little bit vs. years ago. And I worry this mall easily could start to really struggle, if it loses one or more anchors in the future. Hope we don't see a repeat of the decline of Century III here, but part of me worries that might happen down the road.

The building nearby which now has a JO-ANN FABRICS store in it (and previously also a BABIES R US store) was a MONTGOMERY WARD store originally, but the Wards store closed in 1983, long before the chain went out of business in 2001. I guess maybe the store would have lasted longer if it had been attached to the mall…

Great tour of the mall, I have seen a few malls like this where a modern outdoor area was added but it makes sense as a lot of these older malls don't have the space to attract restaurants, in one instance it was by building a new tower next door and adding pedestrian bridge between the two buildings (both owned by Simon) a bit of a dead area during the day but busy at night. While I think that many malls remove fountains, planters and attractions like the skating rink to follow the modern clean look and also avoid legal issues and maintenance cost, I also think they want to remove areas that provide a place to be out of public view. The mall I go to from time had a cool unique outdoor large balcony seating area with planters, you could be very out of view there, it was all gutted some years ago and turned in to a restaurant outdoor seating area and the rest is closed off.

Yea, them choosing to keep this jc penny's ment the location in my city's 2nd of 3 malls was forced to close, loosing the 3rd of its 4 potential anchors. Also loosing its movie theater. Only has Macy's now, and the whole top floor is abandoned, food court gone, no elevators, or escalators. Smells like mold and bird crap, occupancy is at 30% all stores being discount. Violent crime has always been an issue there, being in a bad area that is an economic decline. Its a 950,000 sqr foot mall, built in 1965 or so, has a weird interior styling, it was doing fine till the recession of 2008, then when the states economy when tits up the city struggled, and it only hindered the place further. The promenade of tulsa, ok is doomed.

No way! Burlington moved out of the strip behind the movies?! Also… that little block of pixel burn glitch on the 22 sign has been that way long before we left Pittsburgh almost 4 years ago.

If you don't know why this mall is so famous, you just might be a zombie.

Thanks for the walkthrough video of this mall. At least the occupancy rate still for now is good, but I see those small signs that make me worry that down the road more stores might leave here. Hopefully that doesn't occur in the end, but part of me worries that may occur down the road. Like today, I'd probably say it's a B grade mall(maybe at B+?) instead of an A grade mall. It's a big shame they removed those koi fish ponds on the 1st floor, and also the ice rink where the food court is now. BTW did find a clip of the old Monroeville Mall ice rink, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWS6ZJygmbKhl9E
