[@LaurenLaass]

I grew up in a town near Omaha and I remember going to Oak View Mall as a kid. It felt like we were going on a day trip even though the mall was probably only 20 minutes from us. I would put on a cute outfit and walk around with an Orange Julius drink. I remember entering through a food court entrance and passing a popcorn shop on my left that sold different kinds of popcorn and I liked a specific rainbow popcorn. I also specifically remember always eating chicken teriyaki there. It’s a shame how the mall has ended up.

[@NorthCdogg22]

Vic’s Popcorn is still there luckily! Thank you for sharing these memories!

[@abdullahyaseer4304]

Yes Orange Julius. I also remember Aladdin’s Castle, the arcade.

[@noahvoris3637]

This is a kind of mall I wish would be thriving! I would love to go to a mall like this on a regular basis with great stores! The aesthetic‘s are amazing, and very attractive to me!

[@ShawnHaynes-y9g]

I really want to reach out and say thank you! I came here during my childhood (being in my mid-30s), and not to mention many, many date nights with my wife of 12 years. I'm so sad to see it go downhill.

[@9wolffatality591]

As kid born in 98… I grew up at this mall, after school I enjoyed going with my grandma at 5-13 years old seeing the lights and the stores it was our favorite place and then we would stop at the Barns and Nobles across the street. It’s so painful to see it empty…. I think if they brought the lights back and re did a few things….. maybe we could bring it back….. so many memories especially within the food court. I couldn’t help but cry when I was there yesterday

[@chrissasandlin8344]

Even the empty spaces feel aesthetically pleasing--this is a gorgeous mall.

[@map3384]

Uhh the early 90s. To be an Xer in college in the early 90s. The 90s was the heyday of the mall. Great and better times in America. Imagine going to Sam Goody and buying a copy of Nevermind.

[@extremedrivr]

Ah yes!! Sam Goody 🎶 store. That was awesome. Or going to Dillards and Sears and trying out the brand new PlayStation 1 before you bought one. Fun times the 90s were.

[@Snookifan4life]

as a canadian i love looking at how different american malls are compared to ours

[@kitw76]

Interesting to know what the differences are as I didn’t know there were many.

[@Snookifan4life]

@@kitw76from what i’ve noticed we definitely have smaller but more streamlined malls (not as focused on anchors) as well as architecture, i would say 99% of our malls are also owned by one company (cadillac fairview)

[@CnekYT]

@@Snookifan4life Premaris owns more malls than Cadillac Fairview, they just don't advertise their name over their property lol

[@Pellbort]

As a Canadian, when I watch these dead mall videos and then look at our malls, I can see where we're headed.

[@Millennialtomb]

I think I saw inside a Canadian mall on an episode of MacGyver. It was the one where he had to save someone's life by making them drink photo chemicals. I liked how the Marshalls used to look in the 80s with their neon pink signage.

[@gemini6828]

Lived in Omaha from 1995 to Nov. 2021. Shopped at Oakview often. On the North entrance used to be a Champs America Restaurant that had the best french dip and awesome salads. That left after a few years, which was a huge loss. Took our two boys when they were younger to Oakview for shopping, hitting the food court, then going across the street to Oakview AMC Theaters. I'll be honest. All the times I spent in Oakview Mall, it was enjoyable and a great asset to have, but honestly never realized how beautiful of a mall it really was compared to others in the US. I've now gotten hooked on watching YT videos as this regarding abandoned malls and appreciate what we had in Omaha while it lasted. I grew up 35 miles NW of Omaha and my parents would often take me to Omaha's other two malls, Crossroads and Westroads. Both were icons in the city. Crossroads is now completely abandoned from what I've last heard, but Westroads is still going strong. Given the fact it's surrounding by PF Changs and The Cheesecake Factory. Great video and content. Thank you for taking the time to do such a fantastic job!

[@boijamal2583]

Man this place is massive. incredible vibes, too. That massive center concourse seems more like something you'd expect out of an airport terminal than a mall.

[@NicholasShade-eq1ts]

[@flyoma]

I went to elementary school at Willa Cather which is up on the hill above this mall... watched it being built every day from recess! Used to go there for lunch with my dad every Saturday and had a punch card for the 1-Potato-2 where they knew my order and name before I said anything.

[@t.j.beacham1241]

Hey I went there too!

[@joshtaylorcreative1155]

This is such a beautiful mall.. wow!

[@boskostoybox]

I'm 50 yrs old. I was born and raised in Omaha. I went to all of the malls there. Oak View, Crossroads and Westroads and Southroads. Great memories.

[@lancetheman28]

I worked here in high school, it was once the cool mall… My store was on floor one by JC Penny. I can tell you what every store was if you have any questions. The entrance you came in used to have a bar on the right and an arcade on the left. When you turned to the right the first empty store you featured was David’s Briar Shop which was the tobacco store. The Kicking Tigers store at 24 minutes was the WB store if that tells you how long it was vacant.

[@OmahaGTP]

Aladdin's Castle! I still have a token of theirs somewhere.

[@akaisha0000]

This made me smile. My coworker mentioned that they went into Oakview today for some Sakra Japan which is still there and it made me wonder, so I looked on youtube and found your video. I have so many memories from this mall and Crossroads specifically. This was..a welcome nostalgia. But a little sad seeing all my memories gone. It really was such a special place growing up and I'm sad the next generation will never get to experience what this was like. I can't bring myself to go back to these malls even with the few stores still there because I think it would just break my heart. But I really appreciated seeing this video..seeing those seats in the hall on the upper level by the escalators I remember sitting waiting for my sister to get out of the bookstore so we could go to Hot Topic together. I remember how cool that elevator felt with all the glass just to go up one flight. I remember being 5 years old and terrified of the escalators because I heard a story about a kid getting his shoelace stuck and his legs torn off..pretty sure that never happened but those memories are so real. I remember one of my past partners working at Starbucks when they opened that kiosk. I remember the Dairy Queen where the tiles are in the food court. I remember how grand it felt coming through those front doors. How spectacular it looked all decorated for Christmas. I remember the many times I got to meet Santa in both this mall and Crossroads. This brought back such a flood of memories and even when this mall inevitably goes, I'm really grateful we have people like you willing to share and appreciate a little bit of that leftover magic. I'm sorry you didn't get to experience it in the same capacity I got to but I really appreciate you still having this chance to even see the aftermath. I appreciate you sharing this with us. Thank you.

[@JoshYT1]

I would love to live in a city with these big 90s malls, here in Canada we do have many large malls in our cities but most have been remodeled or altered in unrecognizable ways (such as the anchors being altered). With so many 70s and 80s era malls gone or soon-to-be gone, we should enjoy these 90s era time capsules before they are gone or altered as well. Thank you as always for documenting these beautiful malls for generations to come!

[@annas728]

Thank you for documenting my childhood mall 😢 hard to see it in this condition. I used to work at the pretzel shop there when I was a kid. My first job 😊

[@NostalgiaFix81]

The neon over the massive food court and the geometric designs transport me back to better times. Thanks for the share!

I went to the grand opening of Oakview Mall when I was a kid. I must have been 7 or 8 years old. Richard Simmons was there performing.

I always liked the homey vibes of American malls. They seem to be stuck in the past but the stores are modern, it's great. Sad to see the deterioration of american malls era. Malls are huge in Malaysia, we have the same shopping culture.

Ah, Oakroads, such memories. 10:57 I worked at that Babbages in the fall of 1991 during my freshman year of college. 2 years later I met the love of my life while she was working at the Lerner’s that was at the base of the escalators. And a year and a half later she dumped my ass upstairs in the food court. Great video.

[@seabee73]

What a nice mall to be so dead. The neons were awesome. I thought you might get lucky and have a Cinnabon open, but one day you'll find one open. Thanks for another great video.

[@NorthCdogg22]

Thank you so much for watching! The neons were worth the price of admission alone

I came across your videos by accident, I generally have no interest in malls but I cannot help but be fascinated by your dead mall videos. They are very well made and the quality of the presentation and your enthusiam is what makes them fun to watch. On a side note what is that song at 13.20. Keep up the good work, I am going to go back and catch up on your earlier videos.

[@NorthCdogg22]

Thank you! Even if you’re not generally interested in malls I hope that you can continue coming back to mine and enjoying them! Oh, and the song at 13:20 is called Dream by Waterfront Dining

​@@NorthCdogg22Thanks for the info, I have subscribed and I am going to watch them avidly.

[@chrismichaels2093]

Hey there, first off, enjoyed your content. Seen some of your videos and will keep watching. As an Omaha native, and someone who lived in the area and often went to Oakview Mall, I remember its heyday. This took me back. The nostalgia, the feels, all of it. Where the train station is, that is where Santa's Workshop was set up during the Christmas season. I remember the fountain and then one day, a stupid Starbucks was put in its place. I want to correct you on something. When Village Pointe opened, all of the rich kids and parents who used to shop at Oakview started going out there. All of the Millard people and West Omaha people started to go out there. That was the first sign, then the loss of the anchor stores, and then AMC Oakview Theatres closed and that propelled the downward skid. I went to Oakview during COVID, and it was about 50% full. When you walked into the Food Court, you had Vics Corn Popper on the left, Orange Julius on the right. Where the hot dog place was on the far end, that used to be Sbarro. The end food vendor had been a chinese food place, a sub shop, and hot dog place (as featured in your video). I will make further comments since this is already long. Thanks again!

[@swordguy2001]

I adore oakview!! This was the mall of my childhood and I come here all the time to walk. It’s so beautiful and underappreciated, I hope it hangs on a little longer, but it’s not looking great

[@flyoma]

Ohh... and who can forget Aladdin's Castle that used to be by the entrance facing W. Center where the neatest thing ever was renting it out for an hour after the mall closed to have a party, and then getting to walk down the "secret" back hallway where the trash went out to exit from a side door after.

[@OmahaGTP]

This mall was about 2 miles from me growing up in the 90's and 00's, it was wildly popular. My first job was even in the Sears here, and it was insane how busy it was and that was just 2004, and now Sears is dead-dead. Crazy. 8:30, the food shop on the corner was an Orange Julius for a long time, and the closed anchor is the Sears. Many hours standing just beyond that boarded up wall as a cashier. Fun, fun.

[@geocatsrule]

You know you're old when you've experienced both the birth & death of a mall. Loved this place! Last year I stopped at Bath & Body Works briefly & thought we'd accidentally come in before the mall had opened; t'was such a shock how dark it had gotten in there! Hubby used to work at Sears in the electronics department where we purchased our PS2.

[@realtaxtalk3069]

I have seen all your dead mall videos now that I know of, I used to be from the area of the Towne Mall Galleria from Middletown Ohio, I remember when you went in the main mall entrance behind one of the walled up places was a game room years ago. Its amazing how that a childhood mall just dies after so many years. I am glad the Security Guy was good to you then. Towne Mall Galleria had been dieing out for years to what it is today. I really hope they bring it back to life and its corridors once again thrive with people shopping there. Thank you for all the tours of all the malls you been too both torn up and still looking good. You really are a gem. Hope to see more of your videos. You do amazing work

[@SpAzZzZz_]

This mall IS my childhood. I miss Aladdin’s castle.

[@Choices2aa]

Wasn't this shopping mall in Terminator 2 Judgement Day back in 1991? I miss going to the malls and now malls are dead and I would love to go back in time and be in a shopping mall and now its all old dead and worn out and I used to work at a local shopping mall. So sad its all dead and decayed.

[@cwp1alpha]

interesting to note when Oak View was built, the much older Westroads Mall and Crossroads Mall (formerly Brandeis) were sitting in a flux state. Westroads lost the AMC movie theaters they had which moved to the outer lots of Oak View Mall properties. In turn, Westroads had to spend big dollars with the demise of Dillards and Younkers and then Montgomery Wards, so they did a total remodel which removed asbestos and their upper class helicopter pad on the 2nd level. They ended up getting Von Maur and even redid their upper level with cut--through designs, and a new central court area to have a glass elevator, a lower level arcade and many other things. Plus they brought in a Dick's Sporting Goods to replace the AMC theater section. They still manage to avoid tenant losses with redone food courts, and upper level mini food offerings including an open area bar lounge for shoppers. Ironically they brought back the AMC theaters in the Westroads parking lots along with other various lot located restaraunts there. Crossroads however, got the wrecking ball after it's demise. Southroads in Bellevue still maintains it's existance, but really isn't a mall any more. Same with the Fremont Mall with the loss of JC Penny's. Oak View took a hit with Amazon type shoppers, and the loss of Sears when it joined with K-mart. The Younkers and Dillards demise was also part of their loss of anchor stores, similar to that in Council Bluffs of their Mall of the Bluffs site (also wrecking ball).

[@NikkiDoodles44]

Rip that scooters that's supposed to be in between the elevators. There's just so many closed stores cause nobody went to them when they were open. Only place that actually has a chance at staying open is the build a bear which I'm pretty sure it's the only one in Nebraska from what I'm aware

Lot of memories at oakview . Too many to count. And the 2007 mass shooting at the other mall i was 9 or 10 at that time. I remember going up there after the shooting with my family they had a big wall of tributes for the victims. There was markers and paper u could make a tribute and put it on the wall.

[@aandersen93]

I went last week! It is my favorite mall and they actually turned on a lot of the neons for the first time in forever!

[@cmartin68137]

im only 12 but I remember being 8 in 2018 and then all the sudden the year later Oakview was a Dead mall. Sears was gone, Younkers was gone, and all the major retailers were gone. Now all the sudden everybody is all at the Westroads Mall and no one at oakview, and in 2020 they were Demolishing Crossroads.

This place was the bees knees. Going to the mall for PS1 games was about as 90s as it got for me. Also the friggen mall pizza, Sbarro or whatever. Total vibe. They always had a sick cookie place here too but my parents never let me get any, so I just had to be tortured by the smells. That food court was legendary.

[@br0ket0kyoali91]

i went there when i was in a nebraska a month ago! there was an event where small businesses would sell their items and it was so wonderful! i admired the architecture and the whole vibe of the place, we unfortunately ran into someone trashing the shoe store though by the dillards :/

i remember oak view being built and this was my hang out back in the days on the weekends or after school. my mom used to work in the mall in a candle store called Wick 'N Sticks for almost all of the 90s. we had the best stores back in the 90s, it is very sad to see this mall dying, omaha doesnt give a damn about oak view. they put all the money into westroads instead of oak view which is sad, the christmas decor has become pathetic over the last couple of years it not what it was back in the day with the hot air balloon and huge christmas tree and more decor. i really miss the fountain that used to be in front of the elevator.

Kinda sad to see this mall die. Lot of good memories here. I remember I'd always beg my mom for something from the food court, or the Vic's Popcorn near the entrance (RIP Vic's, I'll always miss your massive bags of white popcorn). The GameStop where I bought Metal Gear Solid 4. The Auntie Anne's near the back entrance. And, of course, the Yonkers and Sears that mom would spend all her time in. Last time I was there was in March 2019. Jeez, the pandemic really screwed up my sense of time... Can't forget the surrounding area, either - the AMC, the Barnes and Noble, the Toys R Us, the Applebee's. Good memories in those places, too.

Oak View Mall would be what Lincolnwood Town Center feels like a smaller version of Oak View(also developed by Simon, but I believe Oak View had more square footage), and where I wonder what it would've looked like if the bigger size proposal for Lincolnwood had been approved? Oak View has lighter colored floor tiles than Lincolnwood(and btw this was my local mall growing up), btw. For the record if you didn't know, Simon originally proposed a bigger Lincolnwood Town Center in size, than what was approved by Lincolnwood in the end. Lincolnwood also has ceiling neon, that sadly no longer is turned on today. I hope one day(yes I've said it before, and if I've said this too much sorry), you really do get to Spokane Valley Mall in Spokane, WA. Sunland Park Mall in El Paso has a similar look too, but per google street view some of the mall exterior entrance colors had been toned down a few years ago sadly. Between this video and Northridge, you really produced 2 of the best mall videos you've ever done.

You think that's bad I work at a westfield shopping centre in Australia and it's vacancy rates are somewhat 10% with most stores boarded up even with the loss of of one of its department stores DAVID JONES which anchored the center for 52 years closed in January due to declining sales even with a lot of stores especially women's clothing stores and with retail chains collapsing shopping centres in Australia to have high rents

As somebody who loves Westroads. was a delivery driver ,part of the downfall for Oakview is is when it gets busy in the Christmas season. it's hard to get into the mall it's really only got 144th Street and Center Street ,it's landlocked on two other sides except for a secret of rode on the back side that hardly anybody uses. a lot of the side businesses on pads on the outside of the malls Footprints ,have a died out Toys R Us went away Sears went away. and roads going around it you would think they're 50 years old , the pot filled huge cracks, cracked and while the mall does look beautiful on the inside as Westroads he has a big Square pattern where you can walk around and see the whole mall, it's not quite the same story with Oakview ,you got like three dead ends that meet in the middle .same reason a Crossroads went out of business during the busy season was to get the 72nd and Dodge in Omaha sucks in traffic or heavy shopping times

In the 200s growing up this mall was a booming mall, declined in 2013 once Nebraska Crossing Outlets opened in Gretna and tenants moved out there

It was housing basketball Americans near by and their invasion that ruined it. Everywhere you find them they ruin everything.

Several episodes of Better Call Saul contained scenes that were filmed in this mall including Cinnabon.

[@blandmalls]

those scenes were actually filmed at Cottonwood Mall in Albuquerque, NM, another Simon developed property

I was going to say, it seemed unlikely that they came all the way to Omaha just for a few scenes. But then Odenkirk loves working with Alexander Payne, so I wondered if there was something to it!

[@extremedrivr]

​@@blandmalls Yes and our friendly poster should come and visit Cottonwood Mall. It's had a fair share of closing scares. He will definitely find his Cinnabon fix in Albuquerque. Haha!!

What a beautiful mall! I really like how light and open and bright it is. Kohan is going to kill the mall.

[@IHeartToodlez]

OH YEAH!

[@marshaflorom4220]

I wonder what we replace the dead malls with?! I am fron the region!;
