Gene n Boots candy is the only original store left. It's been their since the mall opened in 1972.

Really miss this mall. A lot of memories from Friday nights. Favorite store was KB Toys lol. Shame that my 13 year old son will never get to experience the mall the way I did.

That is a beautiful mall, and that makes it even more sad to see it struggling. I think we ought to support our local shopping malls the best we can.

Love my Uniontown mall! Shopped there since I was a little girl in the 80’s and as a teenager in the 90’s ❤️ I pray it doesn’t die! Support your local malls!

I find something very relaxing and thereputic about watching these videos.

The back of the mall where JC Penney is located always reminded me of the Twin Pines mall in Back To The Future where the Delorian time machine was first tested

1985-1988, this place was a hangout for my friends, former band mates and I. 1995 I was there with a girlfriend of mine at the time on a date, a month before she was killed by a drunk driver. I came back to Uniontown last year to reminisce and was sad how dead the mall was. It was booming back then. I definitely miss the 80's and my former girlfriend.

Wow video was awesome

The style of this mall is awesome. Nothing beats something like old school design. Unlike the modern flat, square designs of today. I've never been to Uniontown before. Maybe once things return to some sort of normal I'll make a trip to Pittsburgh and then down into Uniontown.

I remember being in this mall a little less than 20 years ago which has a McCrory's next to Dunham's (where it was) that had a luncheonette there. Was such a good place to eat too.

Great video wallie. I enjoyed it.

Interesting coincidence. Our Uniontown video comes out Sunday. Awesome job dude!

The Shoe Dept used to be a food court. If you look there, the ceiling and tile patterns in the floor are different. That's because it used to be something else. You can see the exterior food court entrance from outside of the mall too.

On Friday nights in the early 2000s this mall was the place to be if you were 16 or 17 lol it used to be packed!

This is such a beautiful mall. Love the color pallet.

The only reason I ever went there was for the antique store after the other Crown antiques closed at my local mall. It was so empty, I was so surprised it was open.

Love the video! That mall is in my hometown, and I have been going there for 25 years. Hope to see it survive the future.

Very informative and nostalgic (as always). A+

Uniontown mall should be saved.

Great video 👍👍👍 Wallie

The Retail Apocalypse still marches on.

Keep up the good work, sir!!! Love your videos.

Great intro vibe to roll into the walk!!!

Love the vintage colors.

Yesss! I love Saint Pepsi! Good song choice, Wallie :)

Because there are less people coming here to shop, the Uniontown Mall could possibly be repurposed as a large gym, with fitness stations and a big indoor swimming pool, along with healthy cafes (to encourage a healthy lifestyle). It could also be turned into a greenhouse to grow fruits and vegetables or maybe even a destination mall with rock climbing, and fun activities for families.

ive never seen a gamestop with that red neon facade... looks nice.

Spring Hill Mall in West Dundee Illinois is looking pretty deperate also...it lost Carson Pierre Scott, Sears and now Macys....it looks like it's going the same way....used to be so beautiful...now its starting to look like this one...

I remember watching the Blues Brothers, Blue Lagoon , and Star Wars at the Twin Cinemas. The mall used to be the chit.

Grate content as always !

I was going to mention this mall looks a lot like the Nittany Mall but then you mentioned it in the video. If you like pastel colors you should definitely come check out the Nittany Mall. It is one that has seen some serious decline lately and will be down to just one anchor after the Macy’s closes soon. Great video as always man!

I should come check this out in the coming next few weeks, since all Of my state schools are closed for three weeks now. So I might come drive up here and check this out

Great video! Terry and I haven't been here yet but mabey we will go some time!

great video man thank you

Great Video!

great video...I lived about 25 minutes from there...still go there at times but since sears closed not so much anymore hopefully this mall will make a comeback ,surprised its still hanging in there

Presumably the reason smaller stores move to the opposite side of malls to where a JC Penny is located, would be the rent prices. Rent is likely a lot more expensive in locations that are close to a major retailer, because they draw the customers in.

Love all the neon

Hi walle good to see a vid

Nice looking mall

Nicejob

The major problem in Oniontown is TOTAL LACK OF PLANNING! Drive around the New Salem Road/Matthew Drive area, and all you see are random stand alone stores and small groupings of shops. No rhyme or reason whatsoever. Look at Walmart--a dialysis clinic next door, a planned Honda dealership next to that, then Dick Sportsware and Hobby Lobby. A small strip of shops in front. That easily could have been a power center like Richland Town Centre in Johnstown. A small strip of shops anchored by Home Depot across the road from another small strip anchored by Target. Would have made too much sense to construct TWO big plazas to make for convenience. Aldi just built a new stand alone food store in Onion--the previous store was in the old Oniontown Shopping Center on Morgantown Road which also hosts a bank, dollar store, pharmacy, Big Lots, laundrymat, McDonald's, hair salon--you know, a place where customers can accomplish several errands in ONE location. Onion is now building ANOTHER stand along Route 40 with Starbucks and Primanti Brothers. Menards is coming in but it will be over the hill from Walmart. ANOTHER isolated store. If there was any planning in Oniontown, consideration would be given to people who don't have cars. The FACT bus depot is in the middle of nowhere and its sad to see people having to walk everywhere if they don't drive or have someone to take them around. For example, Aldi should never have been given a permit to build a stand alone store--they should have built at the mall in one of the anchor spaces or at the Target plaza. Despite all the stores in Onion, its easier to drive to Morgantown, Greensburg or Pittsburgh to shop since you spend more time driving and backtracking instead of finding what you need. Onion is good for destination shopping--you go to a certain store for a specific item; for comparative shopping it is necessary to leave the area.

Filming malls during Christmas and other major Hollidays adds a great aspect to the vids. Cheers!🎅🏻🧑🏻‍🎄🎃🇺🇸🍾🥂

Nice, a wallie vid!!

This looks like a Dan Bell video. Also, that mall is more lively than the Hutchinson mall in Hutchinson, Kansas. Your friend you mentioned who sends you photos of that place being lively and bustling, more than likely has better knowledge of it. I see a lot of stores in that mall, especially big brand names, to consider it not much of a dead mall, but a mall that has been effected by the retail apocalypse just like many malls in America. I found this video interesting to watch and enjoyed your commentary.

I wish more stores were open inside. I really only go there to shop at Spencers now.

Love the colors. Sure looks way better than the Lakes mall we have here in Muskrgon, mich

I wish people take these closed up or almost closed malls/shopping centres and make them into community centres with local stores all in it

you made my mall look like a million bucks Wallie 😀

Seems like malls either thrive or die. Ross park, south hills and even Robinson (to a lesser extent) do very well, yet others fail. At least some malls are here to stay (for a while anyway)

At one time Uniontown Mall actually had 5 anchors. Tell Tech area was a Hess store.

With all do respect to Wallie and Nic. I livedf in Uniontown all my life. Its funny that you posted this on March 12th. 32 years ago my Mother past away. I can Remember my Mom told me how the Uniontown Mall Hurt the Down town Uniontown. JC penny's left and Seres as well left. Now after 48 years later the Mall is now Hurting. If you wallie would want more info about the mall Just ask me?

I don't understand this fascination with buying everything online. Do people no longer want to leave home? Getting out to a department store or mall allows you to get some exercise and actually see and feel what you are buying. I guess that soon nobody will ever have to leave home. How thrilling.

And the Morgantown mall is a major mall in that area

It is the natural progression of empire. As an avid student of history and (see user name) I am GEN X one born 1965. Observation of the RISE and FALL of these entities follow the pattern of any civilization back to the beginning. A lifetime of memories of eating drinking shopping being entertained, being employed , not being employed, love and hate, success and failure and so on and so forth. That is ..in the words of a wise man "THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN" God Bless!

I didn't even know Uniontown had a mall

You say in the video the mall is just shy of 700,000 square feet but according to the Fayette County property records website the mall is 770,069 square feet.

It’s only a matter of time, unfortunately

Wanted to tell you and Kayla that sometime this month they are closing the Kmart in Windgap, PA not sure of the closing date. Thanks Debby Woodel

Save a lot in Greensburg just closed I know you did a video in leechburg pa that was the first location to be closed the second location just closed Saturday morning

Peachins Recently closed the grocery store and firehouse restaurant at the Laurel Mall

Second and 10th like I hope you check out the former super Kmart and it’s got turned in something new and you should do an update on it

Hey Wally do you know If Nate is OK I haven't seen any new videos from him

Would it be practical to have these properties in some fashion rezoned as retail/residential? Could apartments of all sizes be constructed in portions that are unutilized areas? Possibly even retail/motels/extended stay type of units? I realize the red tape would have to be cut but who has a better Idea. Of course the type of housing/apartments residents would be in the income range of 50 to 75 thousands yearly income. Possibly condo type of units could be marketed. Lets see someone think outside the retail box for repurposing these properties. They seem in most cases to have priced themselves out of use.

Hello GameStop. This is #4943 with the numbers... hello? .... goodbye
