In the sleepy city of St. Jo MO, lies a small, very modern mall, that of which is completely dead.. Kept open by JCP, Maurice’s, and a lone Bath and Body Works, is East Hills Mall. A beautiful, and fascinating mall. A mall which told its elaborate history through the jagged architecture. Despite all of the modern renovations, East Hills Mall still retains its 1960s roots, as the very first mall in Missouri. In one of the malls entryways near JCPenney lies an elaborate timeline, dating some of the mall brands throughout the years, providing some history, several historical photos, and giving just a bit of its tumultuous history.. This board, and these modern renovations were all added in 2008, and since, the mall mall has fully succumbed to the retail crisis. Losing all of its stores in a dangerous domino effect over the last few years. Rue 21 is one of the last namebrands closing with the companies complete liquidation. And it really is only a matter of time, for the rest of the mall.

In my opinion, this is one of the few modern renovations of a mall that doesn’t feel like a soul-removing bleaching. The mall is colorful, vibrant, and seems welcoming. Most malls today just have the same stark white feeling. I really do hope we see more malls like this. It just seems like a fun place to be.

Yes! Same thing happened at century 3. They brought in a huge 2 tier carousel and it sat dead for years before they finally carted it away in the final years of the mall. Even if you went to ride it, there was usually no one there to operate it.😢

Store have left and gone up to the North Shoppes where they stand a chance at thriving. I have many fond memories of East Hills mall and its beyond sad to see its current state

As a former St. Joseph News-Press reporter, I gotta say you did an excellent job researching this. I feel like outsiders normally come to The Joe and say “This place sucks!” without doing any digging into the cool stuff it does have and had. Was pleasantly surprised you gave the city and the mall’s history a fair shake. I will also say that it’s pretty funny the mall’s history hallway ends with “Yeah, we had a commercial that sucked so bad that people around the world made fun of it. The end!”

The empty place at time mark 16:19 used to be Taco John's. I walked out there for several years starting in 2000-2001. Had a friend who used to sit at the tables there in the morning with a cup of coffee and watch everyone go by. I was born and raised in St. Joseph and moved about 30 min south after my husband passed 10 years ago. It is sad to see how empty East Hills is now. Many good memories there including Christmas time and all the decorations, taking sewing lessons at Singer's when I was young and hearing Joe Walsh sing with the St. James grade school kids in January 2001. (He used to be a St. James student.) Thanks for the wonderful job you did on this video. 😊

I remember when the East Hill Mall first opened, Kids from all over the city would take the city bus there on Sat mornings to hang out and watch a movie at the Fox Theater, that was over 50 years ago. Thank you for the memories. "The Fox East Hills Theatre was located in the East Hills Mall in the east of St. Joseph, MO. It opened on November 3, 1965 with John Wayne in “The Sons of Katie Elder”. It was running movies, mainly B-pictures and double features. It was closed on August 9, 1990 with the animation adventure “DuckTales The Movie:Treasure of the Lost Lamp”

I'm not a native of St Joe, but I've lived here for almost 6 years and when I first moved here in 2019 I worked in that mall, at Rue21, which is now, sadly gone like so many others before her. I obviously never got to see East Hills in it's Hay Day, and, man, I wish I would have, but even in 2019 it was still pretty poppin! Obviously that was pre-pandemic and after Covid everything started really going downhill. I think since I've lived here we've lost roughly 20 stores and food court restaurants and probably a few more smaller pop ups that I can't even remember (probably more, I just can't keep track). It's really sad to see it like this. And I'm honestly surprised the few stores that are still there are still there, ya know! Idk how much longer East Hills has, but this video made me wanna go and give it some love before it's gone.

Most of the old timers in St Jo would tell you that the East Hill mall was not the reason that downtown died, what Killed downtown St Jo was Urban Renewal, or so we believe. :) I was in middle then High school back then. "The Urban Renewal Project Mo R-92 The program, described as "Project Mo R-92", had been finalized on August 7, 1969 On June 26, 1970 an ordinance was passed by the City Council authorizing a cooperation agreement between the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority for the City of St. Joseph and the City of St. Joseph - over 100 buildings were razed The urban renewal program caused the demise of the downtown area. The majority of businesses moved out of the downtown area or went out of business totally. During the urban renewal period, we lost many of our historic buildings to demolition Downtown Felix Street had been turned into a walking pedestrian mall several times Numerous times, the streets were changed to one-way making driving a bit confusing The pedestrian mall was finally removed as well as many parking meters After 45 years, downtown is beginning to slowly come back to life"

That mall in the late 90s was iconic. I spent a lot of time in my teens there, talking to girls and hanging out with friends. I performed with my school choir at Christmastime several times at center stage at the fountain, and played in a bad that got to play there too. So many memories for me that it makes it hard to even go in there now, except I have kids who love to ride the carousel and play in the kids area. Great video!

It's such a shame so many Malls are closed or closing, It Wasn't just about shopping it was about socialising, a lot people say amazon and online retail is to blame but it's also a lot of the stores having to pay overpriced rent, people not having as much disposable income, increased crime, the crash of 2008, the lockdowns of 2020, also there are a lot of areas which built too many malls in close proximity which caused over saturation, bit like Starbucks. I just hope they find good uses for Malls that are closing as so much time, effort, and money went into building these Malls.

I work at KQ2 making ads for the local businesses. We neighbor the mall. (I actually filmed the recent eclipse from the mall parking lot) I think one of my predecessors made that ad. It's in our archives. Dated from 2015. We used to have a Halloween trick or treat event with our reporters etc before Covid. I've thought it would be fun for us to start that up again...but I don't think it's going to happen.

The only thing I didn't hear spoken about is the downstairs area this place had! I used to come out here when I was little with my grandparents all the time, and there was a downstairs area that had restrooms, but also had a gym, and then some office buildings. It's where the food court is now, but used to be to the right of the stage/fountain area. I had SO many choir performances out here as a kid. They also used to have a reindeer petting zoo during the holidays, and the yearly sidewalk sale that everyone absolutely loved. Many of us tried the Mr. and Mrs. East Hills contests which were kiddo beauty pageants. They used to have photos lining the walls of kids who were past winners. Santa was out here too and I think JMcBee would take the photos for it.

I live about 3/4 mile from Aeon Mall Canary, Binh Duong. You can look it up online. However, if you want to experience peak mall culture, you should go to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The malls there are incredible. Amazing selection of stores and reasonable prices.

On the tail end of the pandemic, I met a friend in St Joe. After we were done hanging out, I went to the mall as I needed a new suit jacket, and I figured the Dillard's Clearance Center would be a good place to look (and I found my jacket.) I recall seeing a pizza place in the food court that looked good, I saw a couple people come into the mall just to pick up pizza from there. However I had just eaten before coming to the mall so I passed. That one hallway is very dark, I would argue a bit too dark, but I totally dug the cozy feeling it had.

The mall did not (and maybe doesn't still) own the land it sits on. They rented it, and if they have bought it, it would have been tons of money. So they asked for too much rent, especially when they were no longer THE shopping destination in town. So business left. Also, I used to work with the guy that made that commercial. Chris Fleck on KZfaq.

Amazon, Temu, Etsy, Ebay, and store websites killed the going to the mall experience. People can now shop in their underwear with no fear. In my area BOTH Rolling Acres and Chapel Hill Mall closed. Ironically Rolling Acres became an Amazon processing center.

It was renovated a few years back, because some money was invested in it long ago, which matured. They had to use it or lose it. The owner's son wants to make it into a sports park; thus it's the mall's demise.

Good Lord, could you imagine doing that mall commercial in 2014, having it go viral and then fade out hoping it's been forgotten, only to have it pop up again here like some kind of singing cringe zombie?

I think I know what mall you're talking about in Canada, it's on the very outskirts of Toronto. Or maybe there are just several. My Canadian friend and I went through there and concluded the mall shops must be for foreign money laundering since there was no way they were selling any meaningful goods from the toilet stall sized shops and most were always closed.
