I miss 80's new save colours and fonts, those floriscent lights arranged in cursive hand writing, hot pink, lime green, :_(.

Dude, same. I love the vintage aesthetics.

I completely agree!

ha ha...very original.

What did you expect to find, was it something you left behind?

Is the version in this video a cover? Or is the pitch just lowered?

@@subzeroarctics1299 : It's a cover version. If you listen to the original version, it doesn't have the bells, and the percussion is a bit more abrasive.

Where can I find this version? I have had no luck finding it.....help!

It is so sad. Very enjoyable times with my mom and also my grandparents. I can’t set foot in there anymore

That Filthy Weeaboo every 100 years? So that would mean the last one was the Great Depression?

Try every 30 years. A hundred years ago catalog sales crushed the mom and pop shop. 70 years ago the post war building boom created the large department stores. 40 years ago the department stores were massed together with smaller chains into the malls we know and love. And for the last 10 years, on line shopping has transformed the scene again. In another 20 years something else will take Amazon's place. Who knows what. Maybe the mom and pop shops will return?

LurkerDood it’s not that simple. Even with much lower rent tenants know the place is dying and can’t complete with online stores. The mall age is over. Unless the mall is in a high income area they will die. This place is done. Put a fork in it.

@@jzabady1 Yea, I guess you're right Instead of letting the Mall rot, I would probably just convert it into a huge food court with differant Countries food represented or something ex. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Italian, French etc... lol

@@jzabady1 even in high income areas it hard. Especially when things like shootings happen. Beachwood Place in Cleveland just had one. The suspect is one of Cleveland's finest citizens. Stuff like that will kill a mall in short order.

@@LurkerDood It doesn't help that Pennsylvania is still heavily over-malled, even with all the closures/demolitions. The U.S. has an average of 23.6 square feet of retail space per capita (more than five times the average in other countries), and in Pennsylvania it is even higher. And that's sort of the problem... there's *too much* retail space, and many retailers have been victims of changing consumer tastes, a widening wealth gap and growth in online shopping. Many large chains, the malls they took space in, and even flagship urban stores have failed to adapt to today’s consumer, who wants a unique experience. This experience can run the gamut from excellent customer service to value-buys. I hate to say it (because I hate what Apple has become), but Apple generates more in-person retail revenue than any other company in the world, at $5,546 per square foot; consumers can purchase the same items on Amazon, Best Buy or even Apple’s website, but most choose to visit Apple’s stores. The interactivity of an Apple store - the ability to touch and try its devices - makes visiting the store a social experience worth investing in. Anyway, it's inevitable that some malls are going to struggle. Even if they *do* adapt to today's consumer, there's no guarantee they'll be able to survive. Your idea of a multinational food court is not a bad idea, though... because where else could you sample so many different cuisines in one visit? (See what I mean? These days, it's all about the "unique experience".)

@@SpearM3064 Wonder if Apple pulling its stores out of Shops at Willow Bend in Plano TX will kill that place. They just turned a lot of old retail space into restaurants. The only anchor I remember is Nieman Marcus, the place is pretty nondescript.

I'd probably say early '90s like 1990-'93 at least...

I'm from Richmond. Requency was awesome back in the day

Dave Porter I third this notion, Regency Square should be a good one, that mall is actually one of two dead malls in the area (the other being Virginia Center Commons which is even more dead).. Be wary of security though, they are a bit uppity about cameras (in both malls). Regency has been getting strangled by the much smaller Chesterfield Town Center, as well as the outdoor mall Short Pump Town Center.

Yeah I was about to say that! This mall [Uniontown Mall] screams of the '90s!

This is what happens when the anchor stores go. That is the problems with shopping malls. It needs strong anchor tenants in order for the rest of the specialty stores inside to thrive. Once the anchors go, so do the rest of the smaller shops inside.

Westmoreland has some nice 90s aesthetics to it, too. I had grandparents that lived in Greensburg PA and would go to that mall whenever we visited them.

It seemed fine back in December when I went to Westmoreland mall. Although I am not a huge fan of malls, I would like more walkable places than just Greensburg in Westmoreland County.

Sears, Lids, Gymboree, Charlotte Russe, Helzberg Diamonds, and Payless are finished at Westmoreland.

Yes, that's the one.

JCPenney owns their building, according to employees there. Talk has been JCP might wall off the mall entrance.

All I stated was what several LONG TIME employees said-- JCP owned the building but the mall owned the ground it sets on. You would probably have to contact the mall manager/owner to find out what the ownership/leasing details are.

Who gives a shit lady

Gee Bee was similar to Zayre; large discount department stores, highly promotional, good basic family merchandise.

Remember when Middletown Mall had FOUR anchors--Sears, Gee Bee, Hess's, Stone & Thomas. I don't think S & T renovated since the store opened, but they always had nice merchandise. I believe there was also a large McCrory's store there.

Tha Roundtable Gamer 211 and New York and company was the best one. Gone 😔

@@missjess82 wow really? That crazy

I was so mad when the food court was changed into a Fashion Bug years ago.

Laurel Mall is actually doing well. Rural King has been doing so well they have enlarged their store. Dollar Tree, Burger King and BFS opened a new stores.

Wonder if they're put drop ceilings in when malls are renovated because of asbestos?
