This mall is now literally a memorial!

I grew up going to this mall and it’s so sad seeing it so dead now. The restaurant was called “Diamond Dave’s”. It was a Mexican restaurant. I used to go there all the time when I went shopping with my mom.

looks like they picked the right name, because soon the mall will only be a memory, lol A memorial is an object which serves as a focus for memory of something that has died.

Sears did not leave in 2001. They were there all the way until late 2015 when they closed for good. I did some Christmas shopping there right before they closed it for good. I remember going there once when I was 10 and the arcade there was full of kids. I believe it was sometime in 2004.

Once was the best place in town to shop but people in this area for some reason would rather drive an hour or more to shop plus the fact that there are 2 Wal-Mart's with 10 minute didn't help this video just made me remember all the store that once where in the mail and all the time we once spent there hopefully with the sale of it good thing will come

I live in the town north of this one, Manitowoc, and there's a video on its dead mall too. As a kid, I went to this mall a lot with my parents. I really liked the play area and that hard floor area in front of Kohl's. A few years ago my family and I started to realize that the stores were rapidly closing. We started to go there less and less, and now we barely go there at all when we visit Sheboygan. I will remember this place fondly when it is gone, perhaps in the next 10-15 years.

Thanks for exploring the Memorial Mall in my hometown of Sheboygan, Wisconsin! I had alot of memories over there and thanks for mentioning my hometown

I really miss the mall I remember going there all the time and playing in the play area with my friends

I used to go here as a kid. It's so sad to see it go, hopefully mejier does something good and bring back life to this mall.

I remember the days back in the mid 2000s me and my big sister would go to the mall and chill out and play ddr in the arcade area together. Miss those days.

This was recently demo'd...all that remains is the Kohls and Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Amazing that there were no kids playing...that place was usually pretty busy. Thanks for posting the video...you can't walk this anymore, so it's nice to be able to have it to show the kids later on. My wife and I were just reminiscing about the Original Cookie and Aladdin's Castle. Bring on the Meijer.

The restaurant was Diamond Dave's Taco Co.

About 3 or 4 years ago The only thing left in the oringinal heron gate mall in ottawa is food basics before rio can tore down the rest of heron gate mall and replace is 4 new blocks of shopping fast food and a bank and totaly new layout for the parking lot. Could the old heron gate be of been rebuilt of the bones of the old heron gate fpr about 1.2 million probally but at the time slightly more coast so rio can gut and rip up the old heron amd built the hearon gate quare strip mall with a complete retrofit of the food basics for about 1.1 million. Sometimes is it cheaper to scrap older shopping malls that were build with either design flaws or had poor maitance since they were built then to rebuilt around fixing the design flaws and defects

This brings back memories, I remeber coming here as I kid, I live about 10 mins away

Where did you find those old pictures and videos?

So many moments here that are now only memories.

I remember as a kid, people could smoke in there. Diamond Daves mexican restaurant was across the hall from where it was in the video, it always looked so dark and smokey in there. Then there was a firestone tire store real close by and it always smelled like rubber in the vicinity. There used to be a awesome arcade in there called Noahs Ark. And JC Pennys was where Hobby Lobby was, that is where you could buy your Jnco Jeans, and they had a escalator that went to a second floor.

I do the janitorial work at that mall now haha. Crazy was it used to be. It's a total shell of its former self. Chris the manager is amazing. She's been there from the beginning I think.

I was only in this mall once or twice but I remember a collectibles store that had a vintage G.I. Joe doll that came with a military jeep all still in the box. I wish I would have bought it.

Green Bay, Wisconsin lost two malls: Port Plaza Mall (a.k.a. Washington Commons) and East Town Mall.

Now all that's left is Kohl's (+ Sephoria....or whatever) and a bunch of empty small stores that are ready for tenants. Bed, Bath and Beyond closed in 2022 and is empty.

Love the music!

I remember the sand castle exhibit by the cookie store.

Nice video. Thank u :)

I do not understand why all these Malls are going under. Where I live now most are either dead or are on their way. Is it the expense to operate them?

Hey if you're around the Wisconsin area, have you ever considered doing a video on the dead mall in Superior, The Mariner Mall? :-D (Just throwing that out there) x

Memorial Mall is almost completely razed via a picture my nephew sent me.

There's your GNC, every dead mall that's isn't completely shuttered has one!

Interesting video. Sorry that it's dieing. Thanks for uploading.

Search my KZfaq channel for my original song, Sheboygan Mall Blues.

The restaurant near Kohl's was Diamond Dave's Mexican Restaurant. Not bad, but pretty bland, much on the line of Chi-Chi's for flavor.

I know someone answered the question at 4:27 already that being Diamond Dave's but they had some of the best nachos and Beef Bean Burritos in the city at the time.

Dude they're demolishing everything but Kohl's, BB&B, Claire's, C.K. Alterations, and Sherabee's jewelers

8/10ths of the mall has been teared down for construction of a meirre, dont know how to spell it :p A small part of the mall is still there, and when i was little, i remember a lot of kids at that play area.

good video. but music is on the loud side with your voice over being to low.

WHY CARPET?

It must be from the corrections you made from the comments but your audio is dead on. Awesome job! Only for some reason your camera was having a hard time either with the fps or with focusing I can't tell. There's a lot of glitching. Thanks for the upload. enjoyed it none the less.

This is interesting on malls that once made it back in the days. Have you filmed at Port Plaza mall downtown Green Bay as I know it's not open or Wausau center mall?

I live about 30 minutes from sheboygan but I never was able to get here before it closed.

4:30 I remember that being a Mexican restaurant I think. I remember eating a cherry there.

4:27 that used to be a restauraunt

I heard Meijer will open where the mall sat on April 25.

The owner committed tax evasion and got caught.

The background music is too loud.

The arcade is really dead in this mall. I remembered back in the day when video arcades were a great place to hang out. That would be the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s.

Do a video on the Wausau Center Mall

This building has since been torn down and a meijer grocery store was built in its place

i had of memories with mom here :(

I heard this mall was torn down a few years ago.I use go in this mall.dimand Dave s Mexican restaurant wasn't to bad .

Meijers bought the property and are set to demolish the mall, leaving Kohl's and Bed,Bath,and Beyond free standing stores .Hobby Lobby moved out almost immediately after the plans were announced. Meijers plans on building their own store in the mall's place.

Yeah, I went there not too long ago... truly dead...

Diamond Dave's was a taco bar Mexican restaurant

Diamond Dave’s was restaurant

Yeah, I have to say it, too. Nice video but please up your audio... I can barely hear a word you're saying (and I know you're saying interesting stuff!) x

Aladdins Castle every year for bday part

I like your style and delivery but some gentle criticism, the background music is kind of grating and the mix was way too hot. Tune it down some and it will make a big positive difference.

i'm living in Sheboygan

Meijer bought the property and his tearing it down to build a store.

She boing boing boing in the mall!

Believe it or not.. meijer owns the mall.

KOHLS is GOING BROKE ,,, Way TOO MUCH overhead 5000 main office employees

i think the mall has been replaced by big box stores and walmart

tone down the music, hard to understand you

😂yup this is all true but they are building a mejiers now

hobby lobby closed and now meijer is opening there and are tearing down the mall
