Thanks for the ride, George. It is very sad to see the mall that dead. That is quite heartbreaking. Merry Christmas to you!

Pretty nice.

[@tygod2410]

The mall where I live was packed on Christmas Eve and just Christmas shopping in general

[@btt449]

During this malls heyday 80's/90s there was no food court. That was just an atrium with nothing turning that into a "food court" came as it was already on the decline

Awesome video, can you enter into Hot Topic next time you visit?

I live in Fitchburg so I go to Leominster to go to this mall and stuff idk why they took all the good stores away

[@marcobaldassarre3853]

Unfortunately the mall should be leveled. Put "the field" back in 😅

[@DoraBolan-b9v]

I miss the dollar store in there. They closed it and they closed the Victoria's Secret. The food court there isn't very exciting either.

[@georgef551]

The food court was never good, even in it's heyday. Back then, shops went where the restaurants were to go.

It seems to have gotten worse and now Kays is going out smh they have been in there a long time I remember when that mall was so busy you couldn't move in there one year when I was younger we stopped in there on Christmas Eve and my parents had to park on one of the hills as there was no more parking spaces left to park now you have your pick any spot in the lot so sad that mall is dying sadly :(

[@johnconway9882]

Christmas Eve is not really a good barometer for reading the health of a mall. What did it look like on Black Friday?

[@georgef551]

Everyone was at Solomon Pond, including myself.

[@Arianna-sl2hv]

Thanks for this! Lived there many years till about ten years ago.... Was wondering if Panera was still there...best coffee I've ever had.... Can't imagine how I would feel walking thru there....used to be pretty crowded every day.....✨✨

[@georgef551]

The only exterior business gone is Chuck E Cheese's.

[@SamSitar]

so sephora is their own thing now?

[@georgef551]

They do have their own stores, but they also have sublets in Kohl's stores instead.

Burlington is almost dead. It was downsized

[@georgef551]

Actually, all large footprint Burlington stores have done that, as they are shrinking their footprint, and still expanding. It seems weird how they did what they've done to their lager stores, believe it or not, it's not a sign of danger. I read about it when they started doing this at other locations.

Carpet floors in malls are boring
