Welcome to the Tri-County Mall! This amazing Meyerhoff-built mall seemed bulletproof for most of its life...I can't believe it actually closed. Happy Thanksgiving!

Very good Sir! Finally someone who doesn't spew the official bullshit story of blaming the internet! As this story demonstrates especially way before the mass adoption of the internet that retail has been in trouble for a very long time! So refreshing to see someone else who actually does research on the topic of retail! Good work, I thank you for setting the record straight and showing blaming the Internet is crap! Online sales are only 8 to 10% of all retail sales, meaning 90+% of all retail sales still actually happen in the brick and mortar environment. The downturn is simply because there's an income deficiency across the population. Oh yes, "mall brats" though not going to Ethan Allen, they was actually the malls number one customer. They either spent their part time job money or most famously their parents money! Ever since the late 90's as the now elders aka boomers and those older Gen xers started to bitch about the kids/teens ECT and mall management sided with the Karen's the decline only got more and more obvious!

Those housing projects they talk about, I've noticed this is a common theme via dead malls, yet I noticed how they never actually get on it! Lots of malls around the nation was up for this sort of thing and 10 years on nothing has happened. Furthermore I'd bet they'd fail anyway. They'd be like sodasopa out of south park! Those type of housing developments never last! Frankly the malls was never really meant to last as long as they did. The reality is simply they served as a tax shelter for the rich and companies that was looking for a side line! Hints that's why there was an over saturation of malls across the country. But hey once those tax breaks went bye bye so did the upkeep followed by the businesses!

I miss Tri-County Mall. So, so much. I hung out there as a teen and I’m 44 now. I shopped there until about 2012. My last visit was to a Spirit Halloween in the old Sears. Sal, that was a “Safety Town” for kids. We have them here in Hamilton, Ohio, too. You must’ve been there in the summer bc that’s when they do them. They teach kids traffic safety. Thanks for your delightful documentaries. I also like the Forest Fair Mall ones. Keep up the good work. BTW your dad is hilarious.

Very nice! I worked there in a children’s shoe store from 88-94 (I think) It was a beautiful mall after the remodel in 90-ish. They had to put temporary fronts on the stores while the roof was off, made for some miserable winter work shifts. And I could still kick myself for not getting my picture with Santa during the construction because they had him sitting on a backhoe in the middle of all the construction. I also got to tour the second floor before it was finished when they were coming into the homestretch of the project as part of a mall merchants meeting. I have a sentimental attachment to Tri-County. That was my first real job.

I don't know why I keep coming back to watch these videos and get depressed. I don't even have a connection to this place, but my feelings of nostalgia for a thriving mall gives me a morbid curiosity to see them as they wither away. A mall like this is built like a monument to capitalism and that reminds me of growing up more than it should. Nice job on the video and research as always.

We have a couple thriving malls here in the Cincinnati/Dayton area. My wife and I just took our two daughters to one last week. It was very busy, and the food court was packed. It was awesome to see and brought back great memories. I have hope that some malls will survive, and perhaps even make a comeback in the future.

Sal, I visited this mall as a kid many times and had many cherished memories like buying my first switch there or buying large cookies from the cookie store, and even past moving away I thought about this mall a lot.

I remember going to this mall as a young girl. It was always so sparkly with its polished floors and beautiful fountains and felt less oppressive than some of the other malls in the area. Watching the video made me remember how busy it would be not just during the holidays but just any given weekend. The food court would be so packed and there would be so many people, you'd be jockeying for a seat on the garden arrangement near the escalators. Inside the main front entrance used to be a pet store that had all sorts of animals in it (sadly, likely from bad breeding practices like most pet stores) but that was my first experience in finding out you could have skunks as pets. Then on the other side was a Cinnabon (that's still there lol) that would hit you with its smell the moment you got inside, and if you resisted that there was a popcorn place that made all sorts of flavored and candy coated popcorn in every shade of the rainbow. My favorite place was the large fountain that was stepped so the water made just the most gorgeous sound and mist that caught the lights and made it feel magical. However, for some reason the most memorable store for me was a random small perfume store diagonally across from the Disney store; I didn't go in there except once but you could smell it from so far away it was ridiculous. Seeing it in its later state is very sad, but I suppose all good things come to an end.

My job is on the same exit, been there since 2014, I used to go to that Sears all the time since they had an actual Sears Hardware, I used to buy tools online and pick them up there, the Sears Automotive was still open too. After I met my wife and had my kid we would eat at BJ's at times and while we waited to get a table I would walk my daughter down to little rides they had. Good memories but sad as I knew the mall was dying. Kinda cool to see it in one of your videos.

That little driving school looks like a place we used to have in Richmond,VA called Safety Town. It was next to the Azalea mall. It was for teaching kids road safety like crossing the road. How to walk safely on the side of the road. They used to take elementary age kids there as part of a field trip.

I Spent my teens and early adulthood years with friends and family here, I would always park where you guys parked, right at the top so I could get to the food court fast and Forever 21 lol. I Lived closer to Forest Fair Mall, which died sooner than Tri County but watching you walk around brings back so many fun memories. I remember going there just for the Philly Cheesesteaks and the Asian buffet. I also locked myself in that bathroom around the corner from the food court as a little kid, my parents were freaking out trying to get me to understand how to work the lock 🙃, that unhealthy fear of public bathrooms lasted until adulthood 😩🤣. Good memories there. I hated when it was super busy but when it was slow I would just take my time walking around. I wish it was still open.

Safety Town was (and still is) a thing as far back as the 1970s in the central Ohio suburb where I grew up--recognized the setup immediately. Basically, it's for preschool-aged kids to know about crossing the streets and other basic kid safety stuff--the kids would drive around in trikes and pedal cars and Big Wheels and the like. But ours was never next to a giant mall--it was in a schoolyard (and still is). That mall location looks rather frightening.

This is so fascinating. I was looking at photos of the tri county mall and found myself here. Real life liminal spaces. There's nothing all that nostalgic for me here, as I'm only 23 and have never been to Ohio, nor were malls much of a part of my childhood. But something about these huge, gorgeously structured places being empty and devoid of the bustling life that they once held is eerily beautiful to me. Especially that children's road safety course thing at the end, that was so bizarre and cool! The history behind the mall's beginnings leading up to its eventual downfall was also quite interesting, thanks for putting so much work into a captivating video!

I didn't know this place closed down. I used to live near enough to this that I have a lot of memories here. Mostly buying school clothes in the early 2000's. My first pair of glasses. That 'Hot Image' place used to be a card shop where I got a bunch of Yu Gi Oh cards back when I still played. I think before that it was a Disney Store? Or maybe that was next to it? idk.

Hope you feel better. Looks like the pandemic was the final nail in this mall.

The proposed plans for this mall will never pan out. The area is too depressed for the type of development the new owners are proposing. It’s already ran into trouble with financing. I figure in a few years it’ll get demolished. Large warehouses will eventually be built there. I live about two miles from the mall (West Chester. ) Sorry to sound so pessimistic, but I feel the fate of this mall will eventually be much different from the current proposal.

I moved to North Carolina from the Milford/Loveland area about 12 or 13 years ago. You’re probably right, I don’t see the new plans panning out either…I worked at Tri-County Mall at the Suncoast Video in high school…Small world 😂

Safety Town was around in the early 1980s. I remember I got sick and couldn't attend the one year I was elligble (which I think was maybe age 5). So cool to see it was still there after 40 years. And yes, it's a child safety thing. Like how to cross the street and where to cross the road.

Anyone who grew up in greater Cincinnati, especially in 1960-1970's as I did, spent many days at this mall and all the other surrounding stores. In those days, you couldn't get off the highway easily to even reach the mall for the Day After Thanksgiving sales. Once I got used to online shopping, those days were over for me. Probably been a decade or more since I shopped there. I loved McAlpin's as alternative to the downtown store, and their Sears location was second to none.

Probably 2010, I would walk from my house that was across the graveyard down the street, all the way to the mall to have a sandwich at subway, pretty much right as the mall opened. I was only maybe 12 or 13 but I would do this frequently. I miss the dude who gave out Chinese samples in the food court. “Hey bruh bruh!”. Good times

Nooo, not the creepy claw machine kids!! Again, Sal?? What is this, like their third "appearance" now? Lol I think I'm the only one who recognized them. (What mall were they from? I'm blanking out.) Awesome. Another phenomenal video, my friend. I hope you feel better soon!

Man I shopped at TriCounty Mall most of my life until spine surgery in 2012. I barely remember Shillito's & Pogue's. I'm sure our mother took us there as children. That mall was remodeled so many times with great anchors. So many other great stores over the years and then Macy's opened 🎉 I miss the days or going to stores to actually try on clothing and shoes before buying them. Can young people even imagine doing that 😆 Jungle Jim's yeah that's an entirely other video or 3.
