One of these days you're going to sneak into a abandoned mall and find a Bath & Body works fully stocked with the lights on.

The last three retail stores on earth will probably be Victoria secret, GNC and Bath and Body Works

at least if there's ever an apocalypse we know Bath & Body Works will be still be providing us with quality lotions and candles

Every time I see the color combinations of salmon and turquoise, I'm reminded of the furniture I was given for my first apartment in 1999. It was that lovely combination of salmon, turquoise and mint green in the oh-so-90's Southwestern print that was so popular. I giggle and hard roll my eyes that all of that is coming back into style again with teens.

What makes these dead malls really creepy is the echoing of upbeat 80's music.

Echoey mall music...never fails to transport me into another dimension.

music is so A E S T H E T I C S

Dead malls need micro breweries, gun ranges, and indoor go cart tracks.

Born and raised in Bloomsburg and moved to Honolulu four years ago. Breaks my heart to see this, feel like crying. I remember when there used to be a semi-cool FYE in this mall where you could get movies and records and Titanic posters. We used to always go to the Claire's near one of the exits-there was also a middling pizza shop in that wing that reminded me of a place in the Steamtown/Frackville mall. As a kid my family had an unreliable Pontiac Firebird and I remember going into that very Radioshack to get a cellphone in case we got stuck on I-80. It was a special occasion back then because no one we knew had one. Different times.

The intro was hilarious making the woman sound demonic and then her falling from the ski mountain I busted out laughing

I'm really loving your Dead Mall Series Dan! It's so strange to actually "notice" the desolate space. It's creepy, sad and weird all in the same emotion if that makes any sense. All the late eighties and early to mid 90's decor is just wow! I'm sure they don't replace it because of the cost that it would take. Seems like the malls that have this type of decor are more prone to becoming dead because of their lack of updates or something. It's really hard to believe they're no toy stores. no hobby stores, no record stores, this one didn't even have a game store. It's crazy

The shapeshifting lady demon tumbling down the mountain, (screaming) is hilarious!! Lol!

Mall owners need to learn that JCPenny, Macys, and Sears aren't as popular anymore.

the reason gnc and bath and body are left is because their overhead costs are low. They can make money even in a dead mall.

the '80s - time of beautiful excess. hairspray, cocaine, endless shopping. the Internet is the new drug.

I see that this mall has a Payless Shoe Source store. Payless filed for bankruptcy 4 days ago. They are closing 400 stores immediately, but I don't know if the store in this mall is one of them.

YESSSS this is so close to me, sometimes I go here just to walk and feel like I'm in a Dan Bell video! So happy you journeyed to this mall!

I just moved to that area of PA for a job and was looking for a mall to shop at. When I googled it and saw the pics of the inside, all I could think was, "damn... this place looks eerily familiar." I then looked on your channel to see if it was one of the ones you recorded, and it turns out that it is! Love the series and your channel. Glad I can experience this place in real life.

I freaking love the old bath and body works store design. The new ones feel so sterile

That intro though lol

Everyone talking about the intro but not the dead guy on the bench at the end lmao

whenever i see the elderly out mall walking I want to give them props for keeping active at least even a little bit. even that little bit of exercise some one gets from walking around a mall for a while can do great things for someone older.

i wonder what wendy and michelle are up to now

I went to your website and I was really surprised you don't sell vintage/vaporwave clothing. I figured clothing like that would sell like hotcakes

I love that overly gridded pattern ceiling that was so typical of the late-80s and early-90s. Whatever factory was making that stuff probably couldn't churn it out fast enough.

I remember going to this mall when I was a kid. Its wild how much it has changed over the years.

This is amazing. These dead malls are infinitely fascinating. You win twenty internets for correctly getting the dead mall vaporwave aesthetic right also. Subbed

Dan it was announced last week that Payless Shoes is closing many of their stores. This mall could be affected as well.

The intro reminds me of all those ads for "party lines" I'd see back in the 90's

The guy at the end sums it all up perfectly.

For those who don't have dead or dying malls in their areas, they are a lot more depressing in person than on video, especially if it is one you grew up going to. There is one in my area that is on a beach that has been featured on various movies and TV series over the years and it also has a Hotel attached to it that was always rather creepy even back when the mall was active. Now the only left inside the mall is a single coffee stand and maybe a small convenience store that is directly in front of the Hotel check in area, otherwise it is nothing but empty display cases and broken dreams.

What we need to take away from this video: In the event of a nuclear threat, take refuge in a GNC or Bath & Body Works. XD

The soon to be next dead mall is the susquehanna valley mall, about 40 minutes away from the columbia mall they just loss sears, and the way it looks, it wouldn't be surprising if they lost bon-ton too. Also the radioshack in this video is soon to be closing.

You should do the Arnot Mall in Horseheads, NY. That mall just keeps losing store after store and is pretty sad to go to.

I find it heartbraking and interesting at the same time. First, I'm not from North America so to learn your culture spending weekend hanging out in a mall (like why?) is interesting. What exactly people with families were doing there? It is just different and interesting because of the difference. Second, it is heartbreaking. I mean, for us now it is easy to say "haha, not trendy, cannot innovate, die", but at one point of time there were people with big plans and dreams were behind a lot of these businesses. And I cannot image how they feel when they see their "babies" go. It is sad.

Mall prints in my shop! Get some today! www.ShopDanBell.com

it really amazes me how there are stores still open in these dead malls. i went to a dead mall here in ATL and i felt so weird in it...i felt so bad for all the people working there, because it'll be a matter of time before they all run out of business.. what will they do then?? the thought of those hard working people being left with no job really saddens me..and to think they have to work in a place like a dead mall?? damnn..i feel really bad

The quality of these videos is constantly improving just AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH AMAZING I WANT MOOOOOORE

they should open these up to roller skating

Great video Dan! I was wondering when this Mall would be added to the series. The Lycoming Mall located in Muncy Pa 45 minutes north west of the Columbia Mall is also heading quickly in the dead mall direction. the Lycoming Mall lost Macys in march and the JCPenneys is slated to close, plus I can't imagine Sears lasting much longer. That will leave just 2 anchors:Bon-Ton and Burlington Coat Factory.

W a r m g l a z e d n u t s

these videos are SO well done. the music, editing, and and narration adds so much.

I love the dark humor and satire you edit into the old film clips and commercials.

Something so morbidly fascinating about watching these videos. As a Gen X'er, it is like watching your youth disappear.

Oh decaying malls of the mid Atlantic, how I've missed you!❤

Thanks for these videos on old and dying Malls! The music and tour transport me back to going to Malls in the 1970s-1990s.

Another great video! Caught your Ted talk - fantastic work:) Every day that one of these videos pops up in my feed is a great day!

I find your channel to be one of the most interesting and obtuse on KZfaq. Never change.

I'm I the Only one who lives for these Dead Malls Series....

Awesome mall! Thanks for taking the time to film this! Loved the intro and music as well!

Living for this so hard. Your videos just get better and better, more dead malls, never stop. Thanks!

Dan, you made my morning! Almost like the feeling from waking up to Saturday morning cartoons used to be.

Anyone yet to make an "I'm dying 😂"post yet? If not... That intro 😂 I'm dying here. Literally dying 😂😂

Long time subscriber. Love what you do. Just stumbled on your TED talk on dead malls and it was really enjoyable. Keep it up.

I absolutely love your videos! I struggle with falling asleep at night and the music, narrating, and colors give me a good nights rest! (And of course I watch them awake as well). I really hope you continue making these videos and watch out for mall walkers!

When a mall loses JCPenney it’s over🤣

always get excited when new episodes pop up! love your sense of humor btw lol

I love watching these. They're always so enjoyable and relaxing. Thankyou, Mr. Bell.

There are still a whole bunch of Radioshacks here in Michigan.

I'm confused by the random 80s-90s footage

The intro is THE BEST!!! lol awesome video Dan!! Loved watching this xxx

Being a security guard who works 12 hours sitting in a guard shack. I would love to work at a dead mall for a change. This web series is really entertaining to watch please keep it up.

I laughed so hard at the lady falling down the snow!!! Lol

Yes!!! Proper People last night & waking up to This is Dan Bell♡

Watched every single "Another Dirty Room" and now onto these. KZfaq finally had something great under "Recommended". So glad I saw your channel! Love "Another Dirty Room"!

Came here from your TED video. I love these abandoned or close to abandoned videos. Also, the vaporwave aesthetic is great

How does Dan conceal his camera? I keep looking for reflections in a window to see his setup.

That intro footage was hilarious!!

The best thing on KZfaq. cheers Dan I wish you could these every week.

I absolutely love the old footlocker store layout. Great work again Dan!

'Mall Walker Alert' at 05:08 - hilarious! and at 06:05 _"Oh, I just wanted to return this... oh you're now closed, that was quick!"_ Oh Will, what has become of you :(

I still remember that time you intervened a drug deal but I can't find that video?

One of the biggest attractions to this mall isThe Player's Guild which is a local card/board game shop. As far as I know it still draws a decent crowd to the mall. This mall faced a lot of challenges but one of it's biggest downfalls was not just losing it's anchors but the fact that less than a mile away, they built a wal mart supercenter with a bunch of smaller outside stores like gamestop.

I moved to the area in 2012. It had all its anchors but was severely lacking in terms of occupied stores. IIRC Victoria's Secret, RadioShack, Godiva Chocolate, Bloom Bounce, a card game shop, Bath and Body Works, Payless Shoes, and Provost shoes, a dance studio, a train hobbyists place, with maybe 1 or 2 more retailers but maybe not. The anchors were Sears, JC Penney, Bon-ton, and Dunham's sports. In the years where I lived in the area, a Subway and buffet opened up and closed. While just about every anchor closed. Sears and RadioShack for obvious reasons. As well as JC Penney and Bonton left. A furniture store took the spot of Sears and is still apparently there. Apparently there is not a Planet Fitness there as well, but it might appears as though the mall is doing some serious reoganizing as it appears to be listed as "temporarily closed". Dunham's sports seems to be doing alright still, but has actually barricaded the entranceway connection between the store and the rest of the mall. Geisinger has previously (maybe still) leased some space as offices. If Geisinger does a full annexation of the space it would be the only savior for this structure. But hey, an Aldi's moved in the lot next door where the old steakhouse used to be, so that's a plus. My friend who still lives there was making skating videos inside the mall and nobody stopped them. Wikipedia states that the owner was not responsive and that the placed formally closed on March 31 2022. I last went to Dunham's in April 2022 so who knows what's to happen with the rest of the structure. Either way, next time I'm in the area I'll do an update.

Pay less shoes are going down next.

Dan Bell, in the majestic halls, photographing, presenting, walking through these dead malls.

Dan I just love your sense of humor.... good stuff especially the beginnings....

One of my local dead malls - the Steeplegate Mall in Concord, New Hampshire - converted its closed-down Old Navy space to a bouncy house place for kids' parties. Good way to use vacant store space, I suppose!

song in the background at 5:30? this sounds like music you put in. But i cant tell, it goes so well with the A E S T H E T I C.

I actually kind of love those tacky fake ivy plants up on the ceiling against that salmon pink wall color.

Can we talk for a minute about how good the sound is on this? I love how you lay the music in and give it lots of space aurally. Very nice work!

The way you edit these dead mall series videos is just pure magic

you would be surprised at the amount of cruising that goes on in mall restrooms

Can you do a update video of The Steamtown Mall in Scranton PA? I heard the mall has been bought and would like to see if its still dead.

This breaks my heart. The Doctor Feel Goode's Pool and Spa store @5:38 used to be the GAP. I was an employee there during my sophomore year of college in 2003-2004 when the mall was always busy. When we'd close up for the night, the Auntie Anne's across the way used to give us any remaining pretzels they had. Thank you for sharing this video, Dan.

Quality work as always, Dan!

FINALLY FOUND THE INTRO SONG!!! Song is "What's Missing" from the album Lighter Than Leisure by 幽霊, TOGETHER!

Still loving the relaxed vibe that these dead mall series videos give.

I love everything you do. Please never stop making videos!

Thankyou Dan Bell for another great Dead Mall Video! You excel in all you do to entertain your Audience! Bright Blessings! Blessed Be! 🌛🌝🌜

You need to head to the Schuylkill Mall sometime in the Summer. They've given their stores a notice of 60-90 days for them to close. You visited when it was still doing pretty well. You want to see dead? Schuylkill Mall will be super dead by the end of summer.

Go up to williamsport pa (about 30 mins from the columbia mall) and do the lycoming mall, JCpennys is closing, macy's just closed, and some of the stores are pretty vacant. There is still life in the mall and a new owner just bought it while it was on the downhill.

The guy @ 9;47-9:55 says it all!!!! Thanks,Dan,for another great tour & a compliment on your steadycam work!

I watch your videos every night before I go to sleep. Your voice is so relaxing!

Warm Glazed nuts, what an ad!!!!!

Dan is worth waking up at 5 in the morning

I used to visit this mall a lot back in the 90s and it was really full then. That bounce party place was a huge arcade that I loved, and I definitely remember that now-abandoned Foot Locker!

You should find more abandoned malls to explore, those are fun to watch! Keep up the good work dan!
