it's the cleanest dead mall I've ever seen.

The 90s called, they want their mall back.

I guess hanging out at the mall is not quite as popular with teenagers as it was back in the 80s...

Soooooo....The only reason that the WHOLE mall is open is because of ONE ARCADE!?!

My favorite WKRP episode is "The Turkey Drop"

Kinda sad to see...I think of the people who once had shops there and how there were many with broken dreams. :(

I always wonder why they even bother keeping that dead mall open, wasting electricity running the lights, AC for a single business . Sad actually, I bet that mall was great in its heyday. Not like they can attract fresh clients to occupy the spaces. Next stop, demolition.

Completely barren mall, yet always a crying kid...

It's amazing how clean that mall is for it being abandoned. It's a shame that online buying is destroying an era that I grew up in. The same can be said about movie rental places. Another gem of a vlog, Adam. Take care, and happy trails. Be safe out there.

I was like... "Don't do it Adam, that escalator reminds me of the slide you nearly killed yourself on".

I grew up about 3 miles from this mall and went so many times over the years. They used to have a place called "time out at the court" in the mall that had miniature golf, arcade, ferris wheel. It was quite awesome as a kid! We used to go there for dinner back in the 90's! There have been a few resurgences of the mall. That is where I saw movies as a kid (not in the theater shown but in another theater that was located in the mall) It couldn't sustain because it got a name for being the center of a lot of violence. Oh well

I'm sorry, this is heartbreakingly sad.

I think the saddest part of dead malls is knowing that at one point, you had a large, powerful, famous and profitable place that, used to entertain thousands, that is now dying and helpless. Very sad.

Finding that good arcade inside the most dead mall is like finding the holy grail or some shit

I love your enthusiasm. You could make a dead leaf seem interesting.

Sort of disproves the adage: "If you build it, they will come".

Lets Woo This

The original Dawn of the Dead immediately comes to mind for some reason.

The mall is a little scary ,because is hard to find abandoned malls in anywhere ,on the other hand the city is nice to drive or take a walk .

that child crying sounds so creepy when there is almost nobody

I think Dan Bell did a video on this mall once.

REMINDS ME OF DAWN OF THE DEAD.

How is that place not vandalized

Unlike the 80's and 90's malls today mostly nothing people want. Back in those decades there were stores galore and not only corporate but mom and pop or family owned businesses as well especially in the food court. I miss specialty stores, book stores, toy stores, music and movie stores, family owned jewelry stores, and video arcades. Back then the mall was the happenin' fun place to be. Today it's just sad and pretentious and reflects the sad state of this country that it has been in for 8 and a half years!!

Great drone shots

This needs to be used for filming!

I agree with your comment about going out and seeing and learning. I was a Flight Attendant for a regional airline and it didn’t matter if I was on a layover in Williston, ND or El Paso, TX. I always made it a point to go out and explore. I can’t sit in a hotel room and just lay around and watch tv.

Loving your trip Adam, keep up the great vlogs.

Can't get enough of your Arnold impersonations!

OMG it's a one-eyed purple peter eater! The bike sign reminded me of your slide video. You should add that to your t-shirt line.

Adam, I am LOVING LOVING LOVING the vlogs with you being back on the road!! Experiencing the world for those of us who can't get out and do it ourselves!! The quality of your drone shots are constantly getting better!! Thanks for exploring America for us Master Woo!

This mall kind of looks like Nicolodeon studios... now it looks like the Irate Gamer's career.

That mall is absolutely terrifying.

Northern KY is considered Cincinnati. No rivalry, we are pretty much one city.

Adam I absolutely love your vlogs!!!! It's really fun to watch all of the amazing places you visit!!!! On your journey thus far what has been the most amazing place or thing you have gotten to see so far??

Thanks for sharing Adam!

Well, I'm subscribing now. I'm so entertained.

Forest Fair/Cincinnati Mills/Cincinnati Mall used to be very popular in the early/mid 90's. It had a huge arcade (not Arcade Legacy) called Time Out on the Court complete with Ferris wheel etc. They had a huge Biggs grocery store, several clothing, toys and electronics stores. They also had several high priced stores that the people of Fairfield and Forest Park couldn't afford. They tried a few times to revive it and even re-opened it as Cincinnati Mills back in 2004. Nothing worked and add the shaky economy which resulted in the mall's current state. It's as abandoned as you can get without it being officially shut down. If you go there a word to the wise would be to go in groups and don't stay in there too late at night. It's been known to have some skeezy people lingering around in it.

This is awesome. I have somehow stumbled on enough videos of this mall over the years that I've watched is slowly die almost in real time from out of state. Amazing. I wish I could do what you do, man. I'd love to travel all over and see everything. Won't lie, I am envious.

Thank you for showcasing my hometown, Adam.

Seems like they should just rent it out to filmmakers who need a mall location.

if these malls that are dead why don't they make them into condos for senior citizens slash stors

Love your travels and documentation Adam. Also, most definitely love your "THAT'S RIGHT!!!" Arnold impression bits. Choice!

That mall was like a ghost town! I am really enjoying these videos of yours because I am seeing places I have never seen before.

I think that mall should have never been built in the first place. It never did well even when it was new and it was close to 2 other malls.

Yep that is a dead mall. I don't understand how they keep it running if it's like that! So odd.

This always makes me feel sad, a relic of times gone by and I'm sure good times too!

Oh my goodness. That is Forest Fair Mall, between the Northwestern Cincinnati suburbs of Forest Park and Fairfield. I misspent a good part of my early 20s in that mall. It was huge compared to the existing malls in the area (Tr-County to the East and Northgate to the west). The food court had a working carrousel and three story Ferris wheel both indoors, at a time when nobody did things like that. Eventually, a number of more targeted outdoor gallery type shopping spaces opened a few miles north of there. Forest Fair Mall couldn't compete. In the late 1990s, the mall started going bankrupt about once every 18 months. After every bankruptcy, the mall would always reopen with even cheaper and more cut rate owners. I moved away about 12 years ago. I drove by about three months ago and assumed it was closed and abandoned because of the empty parking lot. Good to know somebody is still trying to figure out how to bring something back in that space. Thanks for the memories!

If the owners of that mall are waiting for new tenants, i suggest they learn to pay attention to trends! Walmart, Amazon & On-line retailers killed most malls in America! It's sad, but, everything you want or need can be found cheaper and is conveniently placed at the touch of your fingertips (cell phones) and that will never change!

This mall reminds me of MetroCenter Mall in Jackson, Mississippi. That place is literally dead.

This is awesome! Thanks!

8D DUDE! YOU WHERE IN MY HOMETOWN! That drone footage is amazing!

IDK... Hickory Hollow mall in Antioch TN has to be a close 2nd.

Is this Cincinnati Mills? I walked through here back in 2009 when I first moved to the area.

your the first youtuber I ever followed, after many accounts its still great to watch you. I have always been like this is a guy I could drink a beer with and smoke a joint and go explore.

Adam did you get all of the Aerial footage in this vlog from your drone? If so, what’s the make and model of the drone because that was some awesome footage?

That mall is a current reflection of the state of this nation's economy

Did you come here before or after Dan Bell? Because the elevator was working when he was there

amazing aerial shots with the drone

You made it to Cincinnati, my home city! So cool! I've spent many nights at Cincinnati Mall (formally Forest Fair Mall). I've been chilled to the bones in that place. Amazing it hasn't been torn down. Keep it up, Adam!

Oh man Sun drop! you see that in the south a lot. More caffeine than mountain dew!. good stuff. that mall is the strangest thing i have ever seen. one arcade in the whole place and yet they still can afford to pay the electric for that mall? WKRP in Cincinnati brings back my teenage days.

Careful about flying the Drone, I hear the "Drone Cops" there play hardball! (See who gets the joke)

I worked maintenance there when it opened as Forrest Fair Mall in the late 80s/early 90s (still have one of my work shirts from it). But they were already losing stores back then. It was built in a bad location between 2 already established malls a few miles down I-275. You should go in there when it's raining. The roof leaks like a sieve. Luckily, I only stayed a few years.

Adam, you and I have been to so many of the same places. Rock on man.

had to go rewatch the turkey day episode of WKRP lol

Mall walkers seem like strange dangerous people, who the hell drives to an abandoned mall for their daily walk?

Adam, you should come back again to Oklahoma sometime and do videos there. I heard you lived in OK for awhile. Your videos are cool, appreciate the fact that you can entertain without using curse words every minute, many cannot.

I have a lot of photos from here from about a year ago. That place is super creepy. Nice job with the video!

where's all the zombies

That really sucks, It is still a great looking mall !

This place reminds me of the former St. Louis Mills in Hazelwood, MO (the mall is now St. Louis Outlet Mall.)

The sound of that screaming infant in the beginning of the video creeped me out! Great video, Adam!

You should find someone that knows about the old Cincy subway!!!

They should rename that mall The Langolierian.

Glad I found your channel. I’ve been going through some of your older videos to catch up and decided to see if you had any Ohio vids. This mall was such a special place when I was a kid. It just felt magical on Saturdays. So sad to see what it has become.

Your portrayal of this city was light and refreshing. It can be a very, very dark place.

dunkin donuts coffee is just liquid cake, not real coffee

If it's a dead mall, where are all the walkers? 😀 Yeah, I know-- failed attempt at humor. 😛

I have A TON of childhood memories in this mall. It was originally named "Forest Fair Mall". I lived less than a mile away from there between the ages of 9-13. At one time it was an epic mall. There used to be a ferris wheel in front of the food court. EVERY time I went to see a movie there they had the STICKIEST aisles. Worst/best theatre. The last movie I watched there was Independence Day. Bass Pro Shop is the only business that is keeping it going(but they're relocating to West Chester). I've been hoping you would vlog this site for some time. Love the videos Adam!

I enjoyed The Daily Woo's adventure to a forgotten mall in Cincinnati Ohio and the bridge. 😄❤👍

Worst sunglasses ever

would been funny if you ran into dan bell mall walking

I worked at that mall back in the 90's. It used to be packed all the time. There was an ice rink, small amusement park that even had a ferris wheel, and tons of places to eat. There were even several night clubs there. As recently as 2010, the night clubs were still open but I think all that's left now is a Kohl's and Bass Pro. It was a good idea, but a lousy location. On either side of it, within two exits either way on the expressway are two more established malls. I think if they tore the whole thing down and made it an open air shopping center it would do very well.

I wish Americans knew about Tim Hortons, mmmmmm, timbits, coffee, and a donut.

Was hoping you would tell the story of why the mall died??!!

The entire city looks abandoned.

The skyline as you come down the “cut in the hill” from Kentucky into Cincinnati is really cool. It never gets old. And that mall was crazy cool back in the day.

I love your videos!

Is economy that bad in Cincinnati that they had a virtually empty mall ? There was also only one car in the parking lot

You can thank the internet, on line shopping and lazy people for causing this. 30 years ago this mall would have been full of life with thousands of people everyday. THE INTERNET KILLED THIS MALL!!!!!!!!!!

I've been on one of those river boats and it's really relaxing if you're not afraid of boats

That mall was a regular hangout of mine back in the 1990s. These days I stop there around once every 6 months or so. Just to look around and relive memories of what it once was. I was in there a few days ago and you can tell age is taking its toll on the place. The paint is fading, the ceiling is leaking water. Many of the lights were out. There were so few people in there and I just instantly got this creeped out feeling like I was being watched or followed. I did not stay very long, maybe 20 minutes and got the hell out of there. It will never be the same.

Every 1 of your video intros remind me of an ad for aqua Fina. Bottoms up. 👍

thank you for your videos. keep travling and enjoy it! I am disabled and not able to walk freely. I love watching your videos almost feel like I am there too!

I enjoy The Woo's videos. His travels and encounters are always fun and often informative.I truly envy his adventurousness. I also enjoy listening to his slaughtering of the English language. "Protruding" water, indeed. Well like the guy in War said: "Sometimes I don't speak right, but yet I know what I'm talking about". And Adam the Woo knows what he's talking about.

Trying to get caught up...that mall makes me sad! But the bridge, that was majestic 🌟

thanks for your blogs I'm seeing states and what to see if i get to visit one day

im officially on patrol for a pair of those sunglasses you wear. i envy your exploration and travels

you should have went into the museum! We loved it!!! We visit Cincinnati regularly from SC. We go to the Childrens hospital and they give us tickets for fun things. So much to learn and do in Cincinnati!!!

Ive never been to Cincinnati so it was cool to see a small tour
