Chevy Chase Pavilion is just one part of the retail throuple that makes up the Wiscon and Western Ave. shopping district in Friendship Heights. This area spans the Washington, DC and Chevy Chase, MD border...and there are now two dead malls right across the street from each other. It's pretty crazy to think how long these two places coexisted. Thanks for watching!

As a local kid who grew up at Mazza in its glory days of the 80s, this video (which is very well researched) is hard to watch. I moved on from DC a long time ago and so I never saw the Friendship Heights area struggle the way it has. I only knew its’ growth and success, which was a fun and stable time for me. This mall was my social life growing up. Bought so many things, saw so many movies, met up with so many friends, ate so many McD’s meals, bought so many albums…the memories are too many. So sad to me, but I appreciate your video and thank you for updating us. Best of luck and hope to see more down the road.

I remember when that shopping area was at its prime: Mazda Gallerie had a lovely Neiman Marcus, and some local luxury boutiques and a shoe store “Stephanie Kelian” which had the most exotic designer shoes. Lord & Taylor was in the back, and there was a Woodward & Lothrop where the Bloomingdale’s is… then there was an Issey Miyake boutique across from Neimans, and then down the street was a Gianni Versace boutique and Gucci and YSL was further down before closing out the area with a Saks. That 80s and early 90s era had some of the best shopping in DC area history!!!

That kid was lucky he didn't die going through the rails. Another kid in 2011 was not so lucky when he ran from his mother, grabbed the down escalator railing on the wrong side, fit through the 6 inch gap between it, and the railing surrounding the escalators. Unfortunately, he lost his grip high up, and fell over 15 feet into a glass display case. Unfortunately, the kid died soon after the fall (Sears, Auburn Mall, Auburn, MA). PS: Don't feel bad about losing your car in a sprawling parking garage. I had that happen at Providence Place (Providence, RI). I knew where it was, but the sprawling maze of bridges, and ramps, made it hard to get to, and I also resorted to the "Lock" button to sound the horn to home onto it. Unlike you, I didn't make it in time, and had to pay more.

Within Sydney, Australia at Town Hall Station, a major station in Sydney where it provides underground connections to three shopping malls were at the northern end there are two "A" Class malls managed and owned by Vicinity Centers named "The Galeries" a modern mall and "QVB" a heritage mall within the heratige listed Queen Victoria Building while at the southern end there is one "B" Class mall managed by Colliers named "Town Hall Square" a modern mall as well. All three malls are thriving, both pre-and-post COVID-19 pandemic. This goes to show how Australian retail spaces are planned, designed, built, managed and operated differently without ever being over saturated with malls of the same class and caliber but diverse yet suitable for the area, demography and target audience.

Nordstrom rack closed last month. I was at the fixture sale. I wonder if TJ Maxx will move in to either that space or the former World Market space once Mazza Gallerie is closed down. I think this mall has a lot of potential but not with traditional chain retail. More food options, independent shops, and entertainment businesses (like escape rooms) might be in order. By the way, Ballston Quarter might make an good expedition. It shows how to reposition a mall like this (and how not to, as they already have a high vacancy rate) and there is a lot of interesting history there.

City Center killed Mazza Gallerie and CC Pavilion when it opened I. 2015. You did not discuss the 4th mall, the Collection, on the northeast corner of the Wisconsin - Western Ave intersection. I used to live across the street and it was the first mall to show high vacancy. I moved to the residential neighborhood south of Mazza and it was holding on until COVID hit. CC Pavilion was the second mall in the neighborhood affected by declining foot traffic in the FH neighborhood. Wisconsin Place has also experienced low occupancy rates as well.

@sal @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1005">16:45</a> (I used to work for the company) This is a routine and random annual Health Dept inspection in which they show up during regular store operating hours.

Indianapolis has a very similar structure involving the Embassy Suites hotel in the city. Claypool Court is a tiny mall with maybe 50,000 of retail space, but is attached to Circle Centre mall which is a massive mall in the city. Anyway, the first floors of the Embassy Suites house this small mall, which used to have an Old Navy and other shops. Now it is mostly restaurants. All other retail is now in Circle Centre, which is also struggling. It’s a beautiful mall, though.

What I find interesting is that building housing would appear to make sense, but there's an incredibly densely built "village" of condos and rental buildings within 4 blocks of here, and two other large buildings even closer-and one of those two is also rentals. Unless they're reasonably priced, I'm not sure how much more residential space is needed.
