I am curious, how did you come up with the name of your www site?

The worst ever.

I worked in that corridor for the bankrupt Ritz Camera from September 1985 until around 1991. It was a few doors down from Taco Bell! It was a wonderful mall in its day. I remember one 'holiday season' a customer had purchased a camera and accessories and set it down near them at Burger King. Of course it was stolen and they came back and purchased another. When Lincoln gave out mall certificates it was a great time to work on commission. I loved Bresslers, Karmel Korn, The Gift Garden, Stride Rite, Hough Bakeries, York Steak House, Higbee's (Dillard's), May Company (Kauffman's... Macy's)..….. Different era....different times😢

The furniture store was Macro then it was Sam's Club the restaurant was Roy Rogers and the Ames was originally to be a Zayres but by the time it opened Ames had liquidated the Zayres stores it acquire. Everyone always questioned why they was two Ames stores so close together the other one was in Esstpoint mall where Gabe's is now. I worked at that Ames for 7 years

Just in the pass couple of weeks the whole thing has been leveled to the ground. The only thing left is the Furniture Store.

My sister worked there in the late 80s

I’d love to have one of those Burger King engraved tiles

I remember coming to this mall when I was little. My Dad worked across the street at Lincoln Electric and would meet us there after work...❤️

*1990s...... ate there plenty of times. My uncle worked across at the taco bell. They would trade or make some awesome creations/hacks! Bunch of teens making 4 bucks a hour...... but working right at the entrance you saw everyone! Other friend worked at the OK Wok. Walking around with my pager 📟 in sight and carried my pull out tape deck......

I remember when Dan Bell was able to get a clear shot of the mall a couple years before the demolition even began. You and Ace made it after it was mid demolition unfortunately.

I used to live and work here i was doing both the day the owner lost it to the bank. We had hours to move everything to a new hotel. It was pretty bad then but the pool was nice!

I like that black and white filter you got I can never seem to get that to work for me

i was raised in battleboro n.c. one time it was just a small town. no whiskey stores. very little traffic. the school was in front of our house. everybody knew everybody else. the train tracks seprates the county. the post office was across the tracks. it was a friendly place to love. that was in the 40'r and fifth's i live there. not much there much. everything has changed. i go there sometimes to remember. i'v not seen this hotel. things have changed so much but some of the houses are still there. its still home in my dreams and that little town in a way is me and my life. i'm 79 years now and its still my home

Most of these low budget motels in the south are all owned by foreigners these days. All go to pot after a while. I'm surprised there's ANY glass left intact. You know a building is gone when the 1st floor ceilings look like this in a multi story building. Very smart not to walk around on that second floor. I wouldn't have either.

You Tube Grammy for best incidental music in a documentary short... 'in the ambient background, ever so faintly as though you might be imagining the music'... "Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce..." Perfect. Also, the wonderful rumba clave: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZd7YMmQt6m4Y2Q.html as though you are about to see a soigné model faire son apparition to embark on an epic shopping spree.

Good video. Thanks.

Unless there is a specific reason, it seems like taking the backroads is always a mistake and definitely not worth the minutes the map apps are trying to shave off. IMO

Now an upside down fountain and plants I can believe, but WHAT ARE THOSE PEOPLE DOING ON THE CEILING LIKE WTF MAN

I want the booths

That picture and this video now has scratching an itch for a piece of nostalgia I didn't even know I wanted: closed down food places within their own storefronts in malls. Not even specifically food court spots, but those that have their own seating area within the storefront.

Very awsome to see this again I remember the original video this came from this was when fast food chains had style and class

The shot of the taco bell sign was super apocalyptic. Would make a cool photo from the right angle.

1:03. I was curious about this organ model and year. From looking through some google pictures, I believe it is a 1974 Yamaha Electone E-3. I found a youtube channel called busterwolf9999 that sampled the sounds of this organ. Interesting.

3:20 A cigarette machine AND a pay-phone? That place is in a time warp!

1:05 Awww, they ruined that cool organ!

Sad to see but so awesome at the same time! Thank you Sal!

Nice footage! I bet Burger King had a lot better food quality back in the 70s. At the same time it’s really sad to see vintage malls being demolished that was once thriving back in a day 🥹😢

Suddenly, Sal. I'm driving the hubby crazy singing the jingles. :)

I remember when your original video on this mall came out my lord that was long ago great video

This is whole different world. The rainbow colors and introduction music got me tap dancing

That definitely is a vintage looking b.k from era is hard to tell sal

great video. sad to see the organ being left there .

Nothing sweeter than spending a slow, summer Sunday afternoon watching a Sal video. Seriously.

Sal, I was the one who told Dan Bell about King's Point. I used to do urbexing with Dan a few years back. The field where you worried about snakes was a Maryland State Police barracks that stood until the mid 1980s. This mall was built in the late 1970s, early 1980s. I used to frequent the former Mountainside Hunters Suplly gun shop that once had a shop near where you first entered. Across on Deer Park Road was the final venture by my old employer, Fair Lanes Incorporated. They opened the 40 lane Fair Lanes King's Point with all automated scoring and upscale Sidney's restaurant in 1987. This replaced the recently closed Fair Lanes Liberty in May of 1987. I work for Baltimore County Government, and can see about getting more info on this mall if you wish.

I bet it used to be a Howard's Johnson.

It looked like a ghost town inside before it closed.

Just dosed to this, wow.. this a trek.

i'm feeling sea sick

I am glad you were able to see this mall. San Jacinto was mostly forgotten about in the dead mall community. I was glad to have spent a bunch of years watching the mall fade away little by little.

Old video but a good one 👍

I found this to be weirdly entertaining.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was annoying and absolutely hilarious at the same time, hope you are doing well man . The Fox run in mall in New Hampshire I crashing hard if you are ever up here it would be interesting to see your take on it.

Wow, if it wasn't so far south, I'd say it used to have an Ames in it. Bricks, fake lantern lights, mid-70's? Bizarre that the Post Office and nail place are still functioning while the rest of the center falls down around them.

Hey sal, just join your second channel, now I get twice as many great videos.
