I think it was 2001 I was teaching someone to drive stick in the parking lot of the mall. I believe it was either closed then or already having problems. The churches were there for awhile. I can't even remember what that place looked like when it was open as a mall. Except for those wide open sitting areas and generic mall sculpture artwork. Have you ever been to Severance Mall, before it became what it is today? Such an interesting place beyond the now outside mall, that used to be an inside mall. There's a huge fountain that's been moved more than once, (don't quote me on that, for sure at least once.) The property used to be the home of John Severance and I think the fountain was located somewhere else when it was his. The indoor fountain was brick red ceramic tiles. It was required stop when I was kid. I can't remember if they removed the fountain for Christmas or built over it, hiding it, but for some reason I remember my mom saying they removed the fountain. I also remember not seeing it completely, and then they'd bring it back. Such a weird thing. I remember the Woolworth's, the Gold Circle, Kay Bee Higbees, Gray Druq? The bowling alley. 2 movie theaters. The only picture of the fountain I could find and it's a partial, is on this page with some history and links. clevelandhistorical.org/items/show/197

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! But I don't understand the Quiet Time labeling. For that it should just be the 5 second intro and then let it roll. Just a friendly suggestion, please don't yell at me lol.

Their slogan will forever be stuck in my head: "The best things in life are SQUARE!" My family would repeat this slogan all the time just for fun. The commercials said square in a way you'll never forget. In fact, I said it just last weekend! Walking around the house, talking to the cats, exclaiming the word SQUARE at top volume for no reason.

[@JTube571]

How ironic that one of the main reasons for the death of the Mall (online shopping - Amazon) was what replaced it.

[@joanb3907]

It’s sad that in just my lifetime I have been around long enough to remember the rise of the Malls in the 70s to their ultimate demise. The lifespan wasn’t all that long in the grand scheme of things. I guess nothing lasts forever. 😔

[@nestorramirez8086]

Malls are far from dead.

[@johnkelly7757]

Malls are not quite dead; in upscale neighborhoods, and in some more traditional rural areas( I live in one) they're still hanging on but for how long I can only guess. A factor that is never mentioned is the declining birthrate- when toys- r-us went under they attributed that as a main reason for their failure-- their customer base was shrinking in size.

[@damianlatimer5753]

@@johnkelly7757 i wonder how my towns mall is gonna last because it only has a few stores left and the lighting in some spots isnt as great as it was before. and it also has a bar but for how long. and its Sandusky Mall

[@petersmith2040]

They are still constructing and opening new malls in many Asian countries. The largest mall in the world right now is the Dubai Mall located in the UAE. It was a tourist attraction prior to the global pandemic.

[@sebastienbolduc5654]

You must have a lot of footage that has never been released. I think it's a great idea what you did here with this one. Why not? It's a waste not to use it. And you know what, I wouldn't have noticed a thing if you didn't mention it. 2 Quiet Times in one week? Now that's a treat!

[@writerwarriorqueen]

Tee heeeee LE NAILS!! Again, your sense of humour is greatly appreciated. Absolutely ADORE all your Quiet Time video's. What a unique idea. To echo what everyone has said a bunch. Your voice is so soothing and provides excellent narration. Paired up with the abandonment. You always do such stellar history. As someone who struggles with some Short Term Memory issues once in awhile. It astounds me how you can retain soooo much Information! I won't keep gushing on & on for paragraphs like I did in your last uploaded Quiet Time video. As a Writer, Poet & also Spoken Word Performer. It's difficult for me to condense my thoughts. Thank you again....awww the video was too short :( But it's not a complaint by any means. Just enjoy it so darn much!!

[@Katreyn_]

Thank you for posting more Quiet Times. I've been needing some Quiet Time and Dan Bell's soothing voice.

[@Drackleyrva]

Great video---I'm glad you posted it. It makes me so sad when I see these dead, empty malls. It reminds me of happier times. It's like time has moved on and these are unrecognized monuments of a time gone by. It's kinda creepy too as if civilization has left the earth or something. So many of us (of a certain age) remember that malls were THE place for meeting up with friends, hanging out, shopping, etc. Another part of my life that we'll never see again.

[@michaellang8408]

[@mikelamprecht3849]

Love these Quiet Times videos. They relax me so much. Maybe because it reminds me of more simplistic times and carefree youth. I used to take the bus up to my local mall (Willowbrook) in Wayne, N.J. Just to hangout and people watch and meet the girls who were going to the mall for the same thing. No worries, no bills to pay, no full time job. Good times.

Outside that mall we had a grocery store that closed late 80's, Later we had a Chinese buffet that closed mid 90's. We had also a Red Lobster, and a separate Toys R Us (got my N64 there [ for free 🤗]), and a check cashing place which was the last business to survive after all else collapsed.

Le (as in Le Nails) could be a last name. I believe it's Vietnamese, which would make sense since so many nail salons in America are owned by Vietnamese immigrants or people of Vietnamese descent. (It's because of Tippi Hedren, no joke. Absolutely fascinating story!) I think it's pronounced like "Lee".

[@AKayfabe]

sisipie there is a nail salon called Le Nails in St Paul Mn here too and it is Vietnamese. Maybe it’s a chain? Or a common name with such things?

[@rosemaryangela1825]

Keep them coming Dan!!! Love Film It’s!

[@oldenweery7510]

I don't know if I mentioned it in any of my Comments for the Dead Mall Series, but I remarked to myself, when visiting and revisiting those fascinating videos, that some of the malls apparently closed down after their final Christmas seasons, with decorations still on the floors or tucked away in defunct stores and storage rooms. It always gave me a pang, since that's my favorite holiday season. (Imagine what I felt looking at the huge Christmas tree and other decorations in your latest entry into the series! Definitely creepy!)

[@katrinahilliardASMR]

Dan your voice made me fall asleep so soothing 😴

It's possible that "Le Nails" was owned by a Vietnamese family with the surname "Le" which is pretty common, making it not such a bad name choice after all.

[@justinzeid212]

According to Wikipedia, this mall was built by Jacobs, Visconi, and Jacobs. From what I could find, this is the same Jacobs that built the now closed Jamestown Mall and the almost dead Chesterfield Mall in St. Louis. From the photos I've seen of Jamestown and what I remember about Chesterfield before a late 90s/early 2000s renovation, this mall seems to have several similar features to those malls, including the interior architecture, the sunken seating areas, plants, and the fountains with the stainless steel sculptures in them.
