This mall was one of the biggest core memories of my childhood. Holidays were magical. I loved shopping there. I now teach at the high school that was built inside the old Wards. I love going into the mall and reliving old memories. For me, it will always be a special place.

You have that in the reverse: It was first Crossroads Mall, then later on it was Plaza Mayor.

I remember browsing Eastern Treasures as a kid. They had lots of cool martial arts things and Asian art. Seems like there was also a dedicated martial arts store there once too. That was kind of a craze in the late 80’s. There was a really cool hobby store next to it where I learned about table top roleplaying games. Used to hang out at the arcade too as a teenager in the late 80’s.

Absolutely i remember this mall. I'd love to see the inside of it again just to take a trip down memory Lane. Christmas time was always awesome at crossroads and Halloween was always fun too. I couldn't believe it when I heard it had closed because I moved to Shawnee/Tecumseh area. All the Oklahoma malls that I've always went to are still around except for crossroads. It's sad. I really hope one day they can totally renovate it and I could take my kids there for fun memories like I used to have

My grandma lived across from the mall from the time it opened in 74, she lived on 68th on the west side of 35. My cousin and i would go and spend all day there or my buddies from school would go and try and meet girls back in the 90's. I truly miss it

I remember going to this mall with my mom.

Just came across your video and subscribed to your channel. I read on Google a couple years ago an article from kfor news that Crossroads was going to open back up. First time I was in Crossroads Mall was in the late 70's my brother and sister in law was going to OKC and I had a drs appointment so, Mom and I went with them and we stopped at Crossroads Mall going home. We went to Orange Juice and can't remember where else we went in the mall. Then when my Aunt took my grandma to her drs appointments in the city we'd go out there. I loved zondervans book store and that was in the 80's. Really enjoyed your video.

During the seventies and eighties, this was a magnificent place. It was unfortunately over run by gangs of any colour you'd care to avoid and everyone ran North. South Oklahoma City is horribly dangerous now.

I grew up in the OKC Metro. Crossroads was always the slightly sketchy cousin of Quail Springs or Penn Square for me. It was a decent mall in its day. The Steve and Barry's was cool. There were some unique stores as well like Easter Treasures and the pet store that was there. Even though it wasn't my favorite, I kind of miss it being there. That area is indeed super rough now so it makes total sense that people stopped wanting to go there.

I have so many happy memories from the early to mid 90s going there with my boyfriend who is now my husband of 25 years 😊 We now have lived in Michigan for most of that so thank you so much for posting this video!

spent a lot of time at the lenscrafters here

I have vauge extremely vauge memories of shopping somewhere while on a winter vacation to OKC I highly doubt it was this mall cause even though there was no access to more than dial up internet I doubt my parents would have taken me here cause this was 2006 when I went to OKC (I think)

In the late 70s until around 1990 this was a great mall. Then they just seemed to quit trying. I don't think gang activity was its demise, it was poor management and lack of long-term planning for keeping the property maintained and secure.

heritage park mall is also just 7 miles away in midwest city and a lot closer to the military base. too many malls in too small an area

The biggest problem with Crossroads Mall was Southsiders went there.
