It's remarkable what he did in 1995. This was before smart phones with cameras. People didn't take as many selfies or walk around recording stuff back then as much as they do now with Instagram, KZfaq, etc... He captured an important piece of history right there. I live right next to this mall on Preston and Alpha,. Thank you @Frank Harris

Somehow this place is now underneath the earth

Here after watching Kane's and zeroxlulu's video's respectively. Camelot music reminds me of my 1st part-time job. Working at a record store in 1988 or 89.. Memories of the best job ever!

See them again... Learn their stories...

You here from Rolling Giant by Kane Pixels?

Wonderful video with amazing quality, Frank. It's a treat to travel back in time, if only virtually. I lived in Dallas from 1991 to 2002 and I have many fond memories of much of that time. If only I could do it again ... and know what I know now! Thanks for sharing this slice of history.

Woww i remember coming to this mall as a kid in the early 2000's when it was still alive with crowds of people and now i drive by whats left of it everyday on my way to work, Life goes on.

Love this..❤️ rip Valley View..

They had the most amazing arcades, back in the 80's

Crazy how he said it was one of the better malls, and now, less than 30 years later, it’s completely gone!

The lore thickens

Where is the rolling giant?

I thank you for posting this because of you i can remember the good times of my childhood when i would visit this mall every sunday after church really sad that they closed it down 👌

Wow, it's amazing to see what Valley view used to be. I went a few times a teen but by then it was already in decline. They tore it down a few years ago but it was deserted for maybe a decade before that.

KZfaqrs a decade before KZfaq. Absolutely priceless!

if you guys are wondering why the giant isn't in the footage, it wasen't made yet until 2012

Valley View, Dallas Galleria, and Prestonwood Mall were so close to each other. That's what killed Prestonwood and Valley View in the 1990s and 2000s. As a kid, we used to shop at Valley View almost every week in the 1980s.

We're Back!

This was 5 days before I was born. Time really does fly.

Amazing time capsule!

This was 4 years before I was born. Most of my memories of this mall were from the early to mid 2000's. Thanks for the upload.

Any more videos of DFW scenery in the 1990’s? Would love to see it! Thank you for properly transferring it in 60 frames

This is so cool. Born and raised in Dallas, Texas I've lived here my entire life. RIP Valley View Mall so many child memories there. Next mall to go will probably be Willow Bend Mall in Plano.

"pretty dead right now".. wait til you see it 28 years later

Wow i was 15 when you made this video...and now I'm 41 lol and from may 2002 to may 2003 I worked in the mailroom of Dillards. Very fond memories.

This in incredible.. Before AMC. Before the arcade McDs was there Wow

That’s awesome 😎 thanks for sharing this great memories I’m gone miss this mall it got me thru some hard times & days thanks 🫡

Lived just west of it pretty much across the street in 1983.The area in General has changed so much like anything. Been back to visit in 2016 18 20 21.Being from Chicago went to college in the big D

I can smell the Cinnabuns now

I managed that Sbarro up until February of that year, weird seeing it on camera after all these years.

my parents probably brought me to valley view mall back in 2003. I was only about 6 months to a year old at the time. There were some golden retriever puppies for sale at the time, and my parents took me to see those golden retriever puppies.

This brings me back to the relatively happy times of the mid-90s. No smartphones, but in most other ways, it was better. I miss that era.

got my left ear pierced there in 1990

I saw Radio Shack! Miss those.

Who else cought that new Nissan Sentra at 2:03 😂

Wow! The best years. I was 9 years old in 1995.❤ I loved my childhood then. My stepdad taking us to get school clothes before start of school year. Me and my friends being obsessed with the movie "CLUELESS!" Dressing like " Cher," and " Dionne," was my motivation ..

McD's value meal was $3.99 lol

Oh the memories.

They had a Luby's in Valley View

I am surprise the mall security didn’t stop you. My friends in the 80’s were stopped by the mall security for taking pics on an escalator at a Vista Ridge Mall. We were just normal looking college kids shopping. The mall didn’t want people taking pics due to some security reasons.

Dude was vlogging before it was even a thing

Julien Reverchon forever

Uff referencia

I believe my parents meet in this mall working at Sears

I saw remember that in valley View from here is gone today

anyone else here cuz of the oldest view

Valley View was sorta dead when I arrived in Dallas right after college in 91/92. They spruced it up a bit a few years later,probably when you shot this,but it didn't last.. Even though I lived in the Village(who hasn't) just across Central from North Park I would go to Prestonwood or Collin Creek.

THE ROLLING GIANT AHHHHH AHA

this is as close to the time I was walking there with my friend as you can get. Last time I was there was 97-99. Walking in my jncos and looking at the yomega yo yo stands XD

Roman mosaics from 2000 years ago are uncovered and cherished, in America they just tear them down after 40 years.

I always thought Prestonwood was one of the better malls, and of course the Galleria in N Dallas. I thought someone stole my car at Valley View one time (84 Toyota Supra) but the problem is one store had two different exits into different parking lots and I walked out the wrong exit. I about had a heart attack until I realilzed there was another exit. That's my VV memory.

Remember the McDonald’s in the early 2000s there As a kid I broke the lights under the counter lol 😆

I turned 8 on this very day

One of my favorite mall. Why will they mess up this mall?

Looks better than the boring ones we have today smh 😒

Did this mall have a glass elevator that landed in a fountain?

This was recorded on the same day the Cowboys last beat the Denver Broncos to date.

oh my god

I got really drunk in that El Fenix many times. I lived right off of Noel.

We have fence surrounding this building now looks nothing like this at all, granted I never visited the mall and have bien living my whole life in Dallas, now we go often to repair destroyed or stolen fence

"AUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!.....I wanna send that one out to Diamond Dave, Billy The Bass Player, and all the babes at the Valley View Mall..." -Kent (Michael Wincott), "Talk Radio", 1988

Now it’s Willowbend Mall dead.

There is no ( Four Escalator ) only ( Two Escalator ) with out no AMC MOVIE THEATERS

he is restless and moving about

Is this the mall off of Central Expressway? If so, I lived a couple of exits up in '79... Time really flies. This is an America that is gone in today's clown world.

Where is AMC MOVIE THEATERS

Alan was so annoyed at the time

It's sad to see that all of these malls in texas are closing!

Why did malls look better in the 90s??

Valley View was almost dead around 1990 (most people went to Galleria or Prestonwood) and the opening of Macys tried to bring it back. The Apartments around this mall made a bad part of town to be in the 90's and 2000's.

the giant... beware,,...

There is no Rolling giant in 1995 Rolling giant only 2012

no way guys the made the mall from the oldest view real!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /j
