The music that goes with the confrontation is perfect

Busting people's balls because we are fans of a fountain in a vintage Bon Ton. That had me rolling. Keep up the good work man.

Lmaoooooo that ending with the mall cop poppin up in the sky has me in tears 😭🤣😂

Great fountain. The general decor really speaks to folks my age, I suspect. The announcements are brilliant. Kyle thinks he's in a Dirty Harry movie, wotta maroon. Also, the Help Wanted sign at the end is ** chef's kiss **

Ok Karen, calm down with your state police threat. 😂

"No pichurs"

Laughed my ass off at the ghostly image appearing over the mall

The Ketchup Gremlin Security Sure got his bag moment of Fame here! I like it towards the end where he looked like a Giant, popping up from behind the building! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Mini Me + Paul Blart = Kyle the Mall Cop. Take the job Sal, add some style to their repertoire.

At least that mall cop isnt allowed too have a gun. Could you imagine?

Why are malls so against pictures and videos? I’m genuinely asking.

Your fade in of the mall cop is just the best ever! Thank you.

Sal- another fantastic video! Thank you so much for doing what you do.

8:20 That "No pictures" voiceover reminded me of the "NO POMEGRANATES!" video that went viral a couple of years ago. (It went viral because people took it out of context)

That is a great time capsule of a 70s mall . I once had a manager , a smart lady at JCP in the 80s say some people should never be put in a position of authority. That’s always stuck with me . Obviously “Kyle” was one of those people and not an example of most security . Sad

In the words of Cartman, “Screw you, Kyle” 😂

That's problem sal, you get power hungry idiot's in those positions sometimes. They think they can violate people's rights because there security. But fortunately we live in America where we do have civil rights. That's good that little man got fired, because he cannot take your phone or get in your car because you need a warrant from actual law enforcement or it is against the law.

"Ketchup stained mouth gremlin tooth bastard.." 😂😭😂😭😂✔✔✔ Great content keep up the awesome work👍🏿🌟🏆

The liability that gremlin was to the Mall’s owners is pretty epic.

I lived not far from the mall. I lived there when Regency Mall was still there. This is the epitome of Indiana, PA. And damn glad I moved.

Others trek through and roll video, you do that and you're research is second to none. Plus the intro is always fun. Great job as always.

This is literally my local mall... I've never seen mall security there before.... 😂

I used to work at a Bed Bath & Beyond at a strip mall. That strip mall had a Target. One night while I was working, a member of Target's security team chased a shoplifter out of Target. There was a river behind the strip mall & it was pitch dark behind the strip mall at night.The shoplifter fell into the river & drowned. Any mall cop/store security member with half a brain should know that you NEVER chase anyone for any reason outside your place of business. If anything happens to the person being chased, it's on the business/mall they are being chased from.

10:48 That’s hilarious! The ENTIRE company!!! 😂

Poor Kyle the mall cop. I bet he cried when he had to turn in that one size too big polo shirt, knowing he'll never again feel that godlike power like he had as an Indiana Mall First Responder. A true hero. A first ballot inductee into the Indiana Pennsylvania Retail Hall of Fame. All hail the Kyle !!

God, this is a flashback and a half. went to IUP, so that drive up. hell, I've walked to that mall, then around it to wait for a movie showtime so many times, and there was a killer arcade that use to be there. that pizza place is great, and there was a great hibachi/sushi place called the Shinobi. the K mart bathroom had a gloryhole for a while, creeply enough.

All the feels with that orange tile at the seating area 😍and the brick flooring 😍

I was hoping for a chase scene: Sal on his powered board, cape fluttering majestically in his wake, hotly pursued by Mr Blart on a Turbo Segway, yelling obscenities

Amazing video Sal! I've recently subscribed your channel and I got hooked instantly! I've watched all the abandoned mall series just for a week. Greetings from UK and hope to see in Europe soon! Keep safe !

I'm cracking up at Kyle in the sky at the end. Thanks for sharing love the vintage look.

Amazing videos Sal! Much love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That mall cop will live in my memory for a long time! OMG! 😂 Once again, great video Sal!

Having been in the Great Gulag of Indiana County in the past, I can only say that the mall security cop pretty much summed up the local business mindset.

I was here during the christmas season last year, and they had a choir set up. That was pretty much the only thing going on in the mall, alongside a model railway that had set up in one of the inline tenants. A couple of interesting local tenants in Indiana, glad I got to hear more about it!

Once again Sal, you absolutely KILLED IT with this one!! 👌👌👌👌👌 And I LOVE how you edited in those "ghosts" of that greasy little Paul Blart wannabe. 😂😂😂😂😂

The mall cop encounter had me laughing, top flight security right there. Keep up the good work Sal.

"Hurry they're coming they're comin (weird pause) Ahhhhhh!!!" Definitely, you should apply for the Blart position Sal. The public of Indiana need you!!! :D

I live by that mall, man I was there once. Mall was so sad. Pretty cool you cover malls in Pa. they where a big part of my childhood. Especially century 3 and uniontown mall.

I'll be at work when released. I'll see it at 11:00 PM. Looking forward to it

"You about to lose yo job cuz you are detainin me fo nuthin!" - Sal to Kyle the bad mall cop

Great video! Much appreciated. Sorry about your experience with the security guard.

A little history for you from a fellow viewer and explorer, my first deadmall vid was of Rolling acres filmed by Amanda Kiss, she has since change her channel name, but it intrigued me immensely, from thier I found Jack from Deadmalls, and then Seph, followed by Dan Bell, And Aces adventures, leading to you, your style and narrative is a huge draw for us viewing your vids, your persistence and bravery to go where others won't is respected, Liked, StaySafe You have solidified your foot hold here Sal, your fan base is compromised of very respectful viewers which is a Great Thing, your Nailing it on content, keep doing it same way that's where we viewers are looking for from the experience while here viewing

Thank you for another great video.

Great vid man... I live in indiana and found this vid very well put together .. next time u go there look in the bathroom stall ima right something down and hope u get it in the next vid .. 💯😂

I don't know why but I really find this mall a esthetically pleasing. Thanks for the heads up on bon Tom, I'm shocked that thye have an internet presence and might be making a comeback to say the least.

Sal, I was just up in the Southern Tier of New York. Binghamton has three places of interest that figured prominently in my childhood: the Oakdale Mall (rapidly dying), the Metrocenter Mall downtown (has to be dead but it's still standing), and a massive standalone downtown Boscovs (in a building that dates back to the early 20th century as a Fowler's). Figured it may be a trio that would interest you. Not sure how much longer the mall will be around and I'm shocked that Boscovs still exists today.

You are good reviewer of these malls Sal, I enjoyed these videos.

That wall at 12:08 is what's left of an old York Steak House location. I remember my grandparents dragging me to the location in Westview Mall on 40 when I was a kid in the 70's.

I am from Indiana, PA, I also have worked in the Mall in 1990,as a Sales Associate at the Former BonTon, I don't remember seeing any Mall Security. OMG, I was a Cashier at one point at Capri Pizza ! This is exactly how I remember the Indiana Mall ! It was a Gorgeous Mall, Not only to work in but also to be a shopper. !! I'm sorry, What did You just say ? The Regency Mall is now demolished ??? You have to be kidding me !!! Let me guess iup bought the Regency Mall and built dormitories.

Great job on the video Sal.

Omg, your extra mall announcements are bang on with this episode!!! Looooove it!!

Lololol the ending is f’ing priceless

The last day I visited Charlestowne Mall on its final day in 2017(aside from Carson's and Von Maur, never mind Carson's has since closed), I remember being confronted by mall security there. One of the 2 guards was an older guard who was IMO nice, and the other guard was a younger guard(probably like the age of 'Kyle') who was more on the rude side. Who at first warned me about not taking photos, so I played it on the DL and quietly took pics after that. At least when I was kicked out was when I finally had taken all the indoor pics of the mall hallways I wanted, and a la that stupid Indiana Mall guard, he told me the usual threat that if you're seen back inside, police will be called. I had the last laugh that day at that younger guard, since I quietly was taking photos of the exterior after I was kicked out that day. And also quietly went into Carson's and Von Maur, without any issues. :) The guard Kyle at Indiana Mall was on another level(vs. the guard I encountered at Charlestowne), of being rude and being a jerk! And who I remember did that both to Doomie Grunt, besides yourself. It sucks you had to deal with that, but of course any guards like that will never stop any of us from taking photos! Finally you picked the best movie clip yet, since to me I think Mystery Science Theater 3000 could've parodied that movie really well!

Sal, it just felt like this particular "mall cop" is the kind of guy that has the "everybody is a crook" mentality quite a lot of security people (and even some store employees and management) exhibit in "poorer neighborhoods", whether it's the people's fault or not. Glad he was shown "the pink slip" and got the good people of Indiana, PA "out of their misery"... PS: Googled about that "Terminator II" (as originally sold as) movie story... Interesting.

i used to work at the Things Remembered kiosk in this mall. and i SPECIFICALLY remember that security guard being creepy towards me every single day that i worked there.

This is awesome Sal! I just discovered your channel. This video brought back memories as I attended IUP from 1984-1989. Indiana Mall was a staple. I remember seeing "Dead Poets Society" at the theatre there. Thank you so much!

Kyle is now haunting my dreams. Thanks.

It's a Zamias-run mall, I'm not shocked that they 1. hire people like Kyle, 2. pay abysmal rates, and 3. the mall is utterly dead. I grew up with the Johnstown Galleria running the already existing Richland Mall (which is where Richland Town Centre is now) out of business. Since the Richland Mall closed, the Galleria started to go downhill, which is the case with any Zamias property. I had spoken with (and known) several business owners that were tenants in the Galleria, and the common theme is that Zamias' started jacking the rent up to the point where most businesses either chose to ditch, or just couldn't afford to stay at the Galleria. The popular rumor I've always heard was that Zamias had strong mob ties which kept his dead malls still open; now I don't know if that's true or not, but it would make some sense considering the amount of power that him and Ed Cernic had in the area. Whenever Wal Mart moved down to Richland Town Centre around 2002-2003, rumor also had it that they struck a deal with Richland Township where they would deny permits to any other store (*ahem* Target) that would be in direct competition with Walmart...which explains why Walmart is the only option in the Johnstown area.

That movie in the beginning looks good

10:24 - 11:00 = I remember going to K-Mart in Bismarck, ND back in the 90's with my DAD SIDE Grandparents MY GRANDMA LOVED THE BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL: I just went for the atmosphere of it all and a SLICE OF PEPPERONI PIZZA: MANY TIMES!! It made me laugh inside when the announcement came over the intercom and the IN STORE Little Caesars, DESIGNATED STAGING AREA, would clear out faster than if yelled FIRE IN THE BUILDING!!! It was fun to chat with the people waiting for there spouses to return from THE HUNT as well.... GOOD TIMES!!!

Can never mistake a classic 80s/90s Sear anchorfront.

Omgeeee,,Sal...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But the application....🤣👍

Hilarious. You should use his image to close out your videos or sneak his picture into your videos just to see if he can be spotted. So funny.

The JC Penney at Fingerlakes Mall is one of the stores that is closing.

Do the outer jets of that fountain come on anymore? I always enjoyed seeing mall fountains go thru various phases

I never understood why security doesn't want you taking pictures at malls. It's a public area accessible to everyone. If anything people like Sal should be welcomed with open arms for creating interest in visiting these malls.

I think Sal has more fun editing the movies than the malls

Kyle probably had the Fountain drained to deter future shoppers from using cameras.

Ha! Great video sal 👍

This bad movie clip from the beginning reminds me of the Aliens franchise. lol

I've always found the best strategy is to not engage. Never tell them anything, deny you were doing anything. Ask for their name and who they work for, etc. Always remember its more than their job is worth to actually do anything and police response time in rural areas is abysmal.

So there isn't much in the mall but most of the candy machines are broken. The train one is the best, don't put quarters in it as it just eats them, turn the knob counter clockwise, then turn it clockwise, and repeat and it just keeps dispensing candy. I still do that there when we go there

Thank you for another wonderful video Sal! I appreciate your work! Also that security gaurd, man...wow that's like Paul Blart mall cop levels of dumb stuff but as you know there are bad apples and he was one of them! Glad you were able to be peaceful when Kyle could not.

Cool snake tat bro

I felt like there isn't a lot of the mall's history that's known, since you mainly talked about the anchors the mall had. That means as recently as about 2015 the mall was doing well?

I saw that security guard at the mall. Yeah yesterday I was at the Indiana Mall. The water fountain was off. It was sucks. That’s what I saw was turned on.

Gave you a "thumbs up" Sal for a great head of hair!!!

Hit that Like button upon arrival here, and show Sal your dedication to his Channel, A like followed up with a genuine comment, goes a long way for us explorer creators, Thanks Y'all

The Havanera from Carmen of Bizet? Noice choice

Sal--I think one of those nutria from that drainage pond in Louisiana moved up north, met a nice lady, and birthed that weird mall cop.

I just had to deal with a similar kind of person... I was trying to be kind and calm and this guy was so into his own "power", he was relishing every moment of holding it over me... too many people in those kinds of positions are like that.

I got thrown out of South Coast Plaza for taking still photos of the merry-go-round. No kids on it, just the horses and ornamentation. Security man was so nice about it, he even helped me carry my gear to my car. Very sweet. Lesson learned: never use a tripod in the mall!

I loved the aesthetics of this mall. This is why we need to declare structures from the 60s and 70s historic. The original New York Penn Station was only 53 years old when it was demolished, not much older than this mall. Look at what was torn down, look at the monstrosity that replaced it. I would hate to see this space turned into a power center, or even worse, just a Walmart. Once vintage architecture is gone, its gone forever.

Shocking dark, wow..

The "Mall Cop Ghost" at the end of your video was one of the funniest thing I've ever saw. Tell you something: The world needs some idiots and ridiculous persons in order to bring some fun to our lifes. That's the way it is buddy.

That looks like one swell comedy!

What a goober overzealous mall cop. LOL my mother worked plain clothes undercover security at Thalheimers throughout the 80s at a rapidly declining Eastgate Mall and the now demolished Azalia Mall in Richmond VA. Those were rough malls in the 80s. Thrown through a glass window (when pregnant with me) by a crackhead shoplifter. Shot at. Punched and kicked by more than one grown man. Knifed at too many times to count. Face clawed by dirty long fingernails. Sometimes they’d put razorblades in press on fingernails. She had no cuffs. No baton. No radio. Rarely any backup unless off duty Richmond or Henrico PD were there hanging out. Many times she’d call PD and let people walk because they had the upper hand and it just wasn’t worth it. Especially when surveillance cameras became more reliable. There was a time in the 80s though when many of these declining older malls from the 60s got pretty damn damn unruly and bad. A lot of department stores at these locations took asset protection seriously and didn’t hire just any jackass. Even the uniformed mall cops were usually off duty state police. This clown wouldn’t have lasted 5 minutes in that rodeo.

I live in elkhart Indiana and i have a local mall thats still packed

used to love Capri pizza when I lived there

The mall in Tyler Texas was doing well in 2019 and then COVID happened and now it’s a nearly dead mall

sad to see my local mall become a husk of what it used to be

"Respect begets respect. It is earned, it is neither demanded, nor certainly forced." - a quote by me

What an idiot that "security" guard was. Probably didn't want his wife or husband to see him chatting with some ladies. Anyway, great video Sal! Thank you

@4:00 the Sci-Fi film Species ripped that scene off lmao , but then again maybe T2 also took some of the ideas from Shocking Dark's Terminator getting blasted by the shotgun , I can see T-1000

Was the scifi movie filmed at this PA mall?

So if you ever need an update on this wonderful place, please let me know. This home of Jimmy Stewart is mine as well...and yeah the dated colors, questionable former security and odd decor of this place have a weird home for me...it has also haunted my nightmares for years...great to see you doing history on these places as well. Keep em comin!

I really want to watch that movie.

That movie needs the Rifftrax treatment.

Turbo molecular decomposition. Aliens has sex with terminator and has that living mistake..lmao!
