I worked at this Mall for 20 years in management. I ended up being GM/Operations director from 2016-2020 when the greedy overseas owner fired the manager company (who we worked for) and brought in all his own staff from Craig’s List. I know this mall inside out backwards and forward. I was there for all 4 owners. Jacob’s who built it, Glimcher, LNR Properties and finally, this idiot owner. So sad to see it go this was. Opened on Valentine’s Day 1968, and was the 1st fully enclosed Mall in Columbus. (Yes Northland was here 1st, but it was open air at that time).

I grew up going here. I'm 33 now but a year or 2 ago they were auctioning off a bunch of stuff that had been left in the mall. My mom got wayyy too much junk from it but we were able to get an official Eastland Mall security uniform as well as a few other souvenirs to remember the place by. Definitely sad to see it so run down. Seems like just a few years ago I was still shopping there so it definitely went downhill fast. A sh*tty owner is all it takes though I suppose. So many memories ruined because of some jackass. Go figure. 🙄🤦‍♂️ Thanks for the insight. Thanks for helping to maintain the place for all that time you were there as well. That place was my favorite mall to go to as a kid. So many dates there. LOL

Thanks for the kind words. I really miss that melting pot of a mall. All ethnicities and backgrounds, and I made some long lasting and amazing friends there. She was beautiful. Much better than Easton and Polaris. Rest well, Eastland Mall. You deserve better than this.

@@OhioStateRules77 yeah, of course, no problem at all. It was nice to reminisce. It sounds like you were there the years that I grew up going there so I couldn't agree more. It was a beautiful place back when I was a kid & even up until just a few years back. So beyond sad to see it ended like this. City Center is another that hurt my feelings but this is officially the last one I have sentimental memories in aside from a few at Easton but they've renovated that as well so it isn't the same either. Eastland Mall definitely deserves better than this. Wish someone could've stepped in to save her but it seems they're letting her go the same as Westland recently. Farewell to both. I appreciate the chat with you as well. Take care.

This place has to be one of my favorite abandoned Mall. The 2nd one next to Jamestown. I am wonder when this building is getting demolished? Great exploration guys! Also the Lazarus/Macy’s store closed in 2007 and it relocated to new a building at the mall only to close 10 year later. For a while there was a school inside the former Lazarus building until 2009.

I've been going to this mall since the mid 80's 😢 terrible to see it like this even though I'm a dead mall fan. 💔Good video Ace.

I remember walking in this mall at full swing as a teen in the 90's. I worked at the FIRST og WhiteCastle down the street. So sad to see a place I once had great times in turn out like this.

The place is falling apart badly. Why couldn't that be a place for the homeless.

Nice video! Just explored this mall recently as well. I did end up exploring the lower level of Lazarus at 7:20. It was very disgusting.

When I saw the title, I thought it was the abandoned Eastland Mall in Harper Woods MI.

The Lazarus store that was in bad shape at the beginning of the video has been vacant for 18 years now

There used to be a movie theater in the mall. I was hoping you would have found some remnants of it. I believe it was on the Sears side of the mall but I can’t remember. It closed down over 30 years ago.

HOLY SHIT! i cant believe the Akiba Boys left those old booths! ALL of this arcade stuff was owned by the "Akiba Acrade" I was one of their tech ppl and had my hands on all that stuff. its so sad to see it all left behind like that.

I was a little surprised by that too, Fatty. Maybe we should head over there and salvage one before it's too late 😅

@michelletheado They’ve since locked this place down tight. I wouldn’t recommend that

@@DecayingAce lol Michelle and I where hired at one point to get the Korean photo booths to print again with a different printer. all the machines you saw where actually offered to me personally but i was un able to find a place to store them all and they got left behind (i was told they where all destroyed/ picked up by other people)... That said, I doubt we'll be breaking into any malls any time soon to get them back lol.
