When I was younger, I never understood why people obsessed over nostalgia and outdated locations. I’m now in my 40s and get so excited when I see locations and stores that never changed since 80s or 90s.😊

[@MrHutchie10]

It’s like a I seek out nostalgia 😅

[@ksavage681]

No reason to change that place. It's real nice and seems full of great stores.

[@tyroneshoelaces9742]

Exactly what I was thinking. Looks spotless, but the camera can deceive.

[@Megnanus]

This is a national treasure. Everyone has seen the boring modern stuff by now, it's everywhere. But a place like this are long forgotten.

[@CandyBlomfield]

Very interesting comment

[@markjones5757]

Several malls like this still exist in the South in states like Georgia,Florida,Alabama,

[@BeyondDaX]

Yeah but are those malls actually alive though?

[@markjones5757]

@BeyondDaX Well, they are still in business and don't seem to be going anywhere soon... I think that means Alive.

[@Analstrosen]

This is a form of modernism as well

[@BlackBeardPirate]

I’m Korean and grew up in LA drying the 80’s and 90’s. My mom took me to Koreatown plaza all the time and yes it looks exactly the same and untouched 100%.

[@MrK9thunder]

Yep same here and it was a meeting spot. Appears like 80's time warp and that little confusing parking structure... Most memorable time for me was as a '92 riot rooftop Korean on LA Audio Video on Western Ave to help Richard Kim whose family owned the store. His mom was short through the thigh and he had M14 and I only had dull samurai sword... Lived in Van Nuys from '76 to '93 and love 80s Life Valley videos.

Awesome. I’ve seen similar malls in Japan that seemed to have been stuck in the 80s. Wish they would keep them instead of tearing them down - the 80s is still alive in our hearts but whenever I come across something tangible like this, it takes me back even more. Why do we keep longing for the 80s so much? Maybe because it has simply been the best decade ever, period.

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

100 Percent agreed, and we have all seen a few decades to compare here!!

[@troylollysaf9311]

Miss 80s 90s. After 2000 i didn't like much

[@MP-in4or]

That is because a lot of cultures value their history. America is all about remodeling every few years. Because they don't value what they have nor keep up with it. The sense of entitlement is so pathetic. But with that being said, they cannot keep these beautiful places if no one is shopping in them to keep the rent paid. The internet is destroying society. We were fine without it and now people are completely dependent on it and it is destroying everything.

[@rickivan_RICK]

If you want to live in the 80’s just move to japan. There is not just buildings there’s entire towns sometimes entire states of the country that have not been renovated since the 80’s. You can legitimately live in the 80’s if you want to. If that’s too unnerving there is still a pocket of 80’s goodness on every street in Tokyo. I found a resort town on Kyushu the entire town was unrenovated since the 70’s.

[@monkist]

@@rickivan_RICK I agree! Having lived over a decade in Japan I always thought that country is stuck in the 80s forever. Would be awesome if Kurt could do a video on these 80s aspects of Japan.

[@trumpwonandyouknowit]

It's sad that these malls aren't appreciated as treasures. The problems are Amazon, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Costco plus high taxes. Stores and malls are being put out of business. So now these teenagers prefer to have fun sitting at home ordering everything or they enjoy self checkout in big box stores now. How boring. 😁💯✅

[@rawkusrex]

before moving to the Valley, I grew up in KTown... that plaza hasn't changed and I havent been there for over two decades. having said that, that mall has been extremely well maintained

[@koreancardboard]

I wish your wife was with you on this video talking about her experiences. Awesome of you to document this before it's no longer. I've been near K-town a few times but never stopped to visit. I will have to next time. Happy New Year from Korea.

[@cynthiarose7534]

This mall is awesomely beautiful. It’s very busy and well kept . I think it should be left just as it is. I love it.

[@sandrahunter5749]

I wish they would leave this mall alone the way it is . No one like old style looks anymore. It's a shame changing it and it does reminds me of the 1980's and 1990's.

[@BB-bp7vx]

The elevator...first thought was Commando mall scene

[@machiwoomiapoo]

me too

[@machiwoomiapoo]

I just googled this: The crew then spent three weeks night shooting in San Pedro and Long Beach, followed by eight nights at the Sherman Oaks Galleria (The same mall as was used in T2 and Fast Times at Ridgemont High). The original Sherman Oaks Galleria never recovered from damages it suffered from the Northridge Earthquake of 1994.

[@ActivateLA]

Thanks for this video 👍🏽👍🏽 happy new year

[@davidb4150]

Looks like a healthy mall going into 2023 they even got the H-Mart in there. Honestly it should stay open for a couple more years.

[@crimsonghost6454]

The round elevator and round pillars remind me of the mall scene in Comando. We still have a mall here in the mid west that had a remodel but is still retro. I try to take my kids still even though they are getting older. Wtf has happened to our society that these aren't cool or viable? Great video and when you called it a treasure, you were spot on. Progress if you call it that isn't always better.

Right what has happened?it’s like a lot of modern is really simple plain and boring like if you compare a old McDonalds they had kids playground now they don’t have them at all and turned so plain ,my thought is they don’t think about kids either im pretty sure kids would still play but even changing stations for babies have been removed from restrooms

[@themoviedealers]

That was the Sherman Oaks Galleria...torn down a long time ago. Rebuilt into an open air center.

[@MisterMister5893]

So nostalgic. Dead Rising 1 vibes also.

[@MP-in4or]

So sad. I love malls! You can get everything done in one day except shopping for groceries. Online shopping has destroyed these. People are just too lazy to get out of their bed. They rather order something they hope will fit and send it back a few times till they get what actually fits. Amazon always talks about their sales, but they never talk about how many returns they have. Although stores do have that, most of it is gifts that were bought for someone else. There is nothing like being in a mall. A sense of belonging. The atmosphere. Just breaks my heart every time I hear a mall is closing.

[@bencity777]

This Mall is so well-kept. I was a Brea Mall goer. But the Magic Johnson Mall is such a ghetto. I thank you for this great tour.

I’ve gone to this mall since the 90’s every time I come to California on vacations and since having my kids I’ve made it a yearly tradition to stop here and bring them as well. Aww I’m sure going to miss this place.

[@gars129]

Looks clean and vibrant. Its almost as if this were the actual 80s.

[@socalltd]

This is definitely a late 80's Miami Vice look that was trendy to the early 90's with the pastels, glass bricks and tile patterns.

The only thing that is missing is a Tiffany Concert with screaming teens.

[@stephensanders2104]

[@christophercruz8660]

Only mall I know that hasn’t been changed at least when I was last there was the Newburgh Mall in Newburgh,NY. Opened in 1977 and probably wasn’t updated since 1985. Lots of neon,fake plants and pastel colors pink and teal all over. Sadly it was a dying mall since the late 90’s but it is still there just haven’t been in it in years. Great video though man this place is awesome to see. I hope it doesn’t get remodeled

[@dhartist]

I always love finding 80's content!

[@ironqqq]

Wow.... I haven't been here since the 2000s. Gotta go visit before it's all gone! I bought a Korean StarCraft II music CD from a Korean music store!

[@WilliamHollinger2019]

I love the roof art work. I think my local mall is stuck in the 70' or 80's you should come over to Lancaster Pennsylvania and check out Park City.

[@dante340]

I'd highly recommend also checking out South Bay Galleria in Redondo Beach! It still retains a very prominent retro vibe & aesthetic despite its neon lighting and fountain being removed a while back. However, I do suggest being weary of filming unless you have a way to conceal the camera. They are extremely strict about photography in there. That being said, I'm very sad to hear Ktwon Plaza is going to be renovated :(

[@gridley]

Aspects of that mall in the South Bay reminded me of aspects of this mall in Koreatown. Both malls also probably have overly modest sales volumes, so the one in RB and the one in midtown LA must have owners who are nervous. That's true of lots of shopping centers & their owners throughout the US.

[@ohxishxitsxdavid]

This reminded me of the South Bay Galleria too. That poor mall has seen better days. It used to feel so modern when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s. It had a Nordstrom, Sharper Image, and that fountain that shot water up to the third level. Now there’s a circus-carnival rotation in the parking lot.

[@earlkelly6696]

Yes. A note to the guy running the channel: Please check out the South Bay Galleria. The floor-tiles within are almost this color, and its glass roof is spectacularly of another time. Del Amo stole its heart when it took Nordstrom's.

[@markjones5757]

He could simply visit any of the several states in the South that has tons of these old school type malls.

[@dante340]

@@markjones5757 That's true, but the vast majority of his channel's content is filmed around the Greater Los Angeles area.

[@alistairlee7604]

When I was in middle school around 2010, my parents would go to this mall and buy food and look around. I remembered that fountain as I'd flick water from the fountain at the food court. My mom would yell at me in Korean to stop it. 😂 Good times.

[@cyndihunter6022]

There's a mall in my town that is straight outta the 80s too!! It looks very similar to this one but even more outdated if at all possible. I moved here 15 years ago and the mall was THE place to be still. Over these years, almost every single store has closed and moved elsewhere, though. About 10 years ago, a new owner bought the mall and raised the rent so high that no store could maintain business. It's a ghost mall now, you can still go for the couple of stores that are open, but it's mainly just old people using it for an indoor walking track now. Arrowhead Mall in Muskogee, Oklahoma!

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

I long for an 80s Style Home with TONS of Glass Bricks!! I fell in love with glass bricks the moment I first laid eyes on them!! True sign of a Dyed In The Wool, or bricks, 80s kid.. Just wish I would have been able to visit the Sherman Oaks Galleria a few more times before they utterly destroyed it.. What a Classic 80s Mall it was..

[@LetsGoThere]

Just missing those giant water fountains that made malls so awesome

[@DWINC]

It’s perfect (except for some good stores that are missing. Frozen in time indeed.

[@WorldReserveCurrency]

Man I remember when they opened this mall. It was kind of that cool place for Korean kids to see and be seen. Similar to how Glendale Galleria was for the masses. It's still a well maintained mall, so it's sad to hear they're gutting it. There used to be a Korean music shop on the 2nd floor which was one of the few places you could pick up Korean music. I think it was called Music Plaza? Which makes me wonder whatever happened to Funky Town? Funky Town was a Korean owned shop but was visited by everyone through the city for their selection of 12 inch vinyls for DJs

[@clowneryhun6928]

Music plaza is still there! I go once in a while, they mostly sell kpop

[@ods1123]

The grocery store is the secret as to how Korean malls stay alive so long. Since the anchor is a giant grocery store, there is ALWAYS a reason to go to that mall. As you go to the grocery store, there's a temptation to go look at the retail stores. Foot traffic. The Koreatown Plaza is not a 'dead mall', but I wonder what the new owner will do. The anchor of a 'US' mall is a department store like Nordstrom, Macy's, or Sears. But, if that anchor goes out of business or just decides to move out, then that mall is in trouble.

[@oconmx2252]

"80's plants"! lol. Classic!! 😂😎🛹✌

[@jhchooo]

The food court in this mall is very busy., probably the best in LA Koreatown. Part of the mall is dead but there's good foot traffic compared to other malls.

[@chrisharjo3875]

Have you been inside the Puente Hills Mall, where they filmed Back to the Future in the parking lot? It's, of course, been there since the '80s. I actually saw that movie in a theater for the first time within walking distance of where it was filmed. Anyway, that mall is still reminiscent of an '80s mall. You should go out to La Puente sometime and see it.

[@Movie_Collector_Maniac]

The Georgia Square Mall in Athens, GA is about to turn 42 years old in February. They have been talking about demolition either completely or partially of it. I believe they want to put apartments in its location and maybe keep some retail space.

[@markjones5757]

Actually, throughout the southern United States there are plenty of malls that still look like this mall.

[@NigelthePhone]

Hi Kurt, although I live in England I really enjoy watching your well crafted videos, for me you’ve nailed the balance of facts, humour (even sarcasm) and amazing presentation. One thing I’ve noticed is that parts of the US seem to becoming run down again, it’s the same here in the UK. Maybe a reflection of everyone wanting ever cheaper prices via buying and ordering online for just about everything? That said I’m not surprised the Korean mall is well maintained, it’s just who they are and how they do things; along with the Japanese!

[@biscuit4christ]

Thanks to you wife for having those wonderful memories of the mall. This mall looks almost similar to the South Bay Galleria in Redondo Beach. The mall, originally called the South Bay Center, was completely gutted out in 1980, and reopened as the Galleria of South Bay in 1982. It had the similar look till 2004, till it was renovated. It still has some of the '80s look, but I'm hearing that the mall might possibly be torn down.

You should seriously make a statement about this. A post on your social media accounts and make people gather outside the mall and protest against destroying the last living time machine of the 80s. Its in such a fantastic condition and it is just amazing looking!

[@Mike-01234]

I agree and from the looks of the place lot of customers in there why would they want to tear down the mall just because of a trend to get rid of malls. It's all about money nowadays capitalism drives everything. The problem is in Socal once the land is gone so expensive never build one again in the end everything will be private property for wealthy people.

[@Megnanus]

@@Mike-01234 Exactly my thinking too. I noticed a large amount of people there. It's not like it'll make people more happy to buy because they'll "renovate" it. I think its the opposite to be honest. It's a place probably visited because of it's retro look. The 80s is a very loved decade by many and now with TV shows like Stranger Things new generations has started to appreciate it too. What a shame.

[@peteyca]

I remember going to Koreatown Plaza and visiting the Music Plaza store in the 90s and buying KPOP cds there. Koreatown Plaza has one of the best ddongkatsu restaurants too

Definitely not the last 80s style mall in the country. Titusville Mall in Titusville, FL (formerly Sears Town) looks way more old fashioned than that. Another retro mall is Christown Spectrum in Phoenix AZ which was opened in 1960ish. I'm sure there are lots more but AZ and FL are the 2 places I know best

[@80sPhoenix]

Tiles can be 40 years old, but unfortunately the 80s soul is missing, and it will never get back. There, like anywhere else. The 80s are something still alive only in the heart of who, lived them. You can give a Walkman, a Commodore 64 and take away the smartphone from somebody giving him some change to call from a public phone. But they will never understand.

[@threegoodeyes7400]

Geez, with as busy as this mall seems to be it seems like a waste of money to redo the decor. The stuff seems to be holding up quite well and it’s not like this place isn’t getting adequate foot traffic or has stores shutting down and remaining empty (like other malls)

[@code55555]

This is great. Love the pink floor. Thank you for making this video.

[@Techno-Universal]

There’s so many shopping centres from the 1980s that were heavily modernised in the late 2000s to have no colour and to all look the same as each other! What’s really funny is that some of them are now renovating again to add some modern 1980s retro elements like copper lamp fixtures and LED neon lights when that just looks cheap in comparison to the real thing! What’s really good is that some 1980s malls have never renovated and still look surprisingly modern by today’s standards because of them being extremely high end and futuristic when they were first opened! :)
