God I almost thought this was Lakeside for a moment based on the thumbnail before I read the name. Sad to see the Taubman malls disappearing one by one.

How old is this video? The theater closed in this mall a few months ago, at least I thought so.

Great video! You’re reminding me I need to put together another video at some point.

Nice video man!

So sad nostalgic…also with white flint gone

Lord & Taylor, Sears, LL Bean, Starbucks w/ outdoor seating are all sorely missed. This mall is doing better than most, but still a shadow of its former self.

I live here Winchester. I go to the mall once in a while. I did a video couple years ago talking about. Like the older stores in the mall that don't exist anymore. Kind of like a history of Apple blossom Mall. Good video I like it.

Awesome video. I grew up 30 minutes away from the mall and honestly miss Maryland a ton.

Where is the Rea & Derick Drug Store? Dauphin Deposit Bank? Commonwealth National Bank? Irving Shoes? Anderson Little Mens Clothing? Gimbels? Wanamakers? Murphy's Variety? Tobacco Shoppe? Fredericks of Hollywood? All in the past...

This was my dads childhood he says it’s sad everytime

I missed seeing L.L.Bean in this Yt video. .. . The newest part of the mall.

I used to love this mall, wish it would come back.

Love the song at the end when you walk outta the Mall It was Every Morning By Sugar Ray

This is the best mall of Maryland there ever was than the Valley Mall or the Francis Scott Key Mall.

The main department stores of the Chambersburg Mall are JCPenney, Sears, The Bon-Ton and Burlington Coat Factory. I remember that three of those department stores of this dying mall are part of another dying mall that became a shopping center. JCPenney, Sears and The Bon-Ton. Those were also part of the Martinsburg Mall along with Walmart which was left alone and now part of the new shopping center known as Foxcroft Town Center. JCPenney became Hobby Lobby and The Bon-Ton became Grand Home Furnishing. Sears, although due to bankruptcy, was shut down and demolished in 2013 leaving that part of the foundation of that environment alone. The Martinsburg Mall was opened in 1992 and closed down on November the 1st in 2016 except Walmart because everyone in Martinsburg still shop there.

What a waste!!

It's good to see a thriving mall with so many going under. Where I live we still have a thriving mall as well, but several others in my area have been torn down. It's like a piece of my childhood went with them.

i use to come here as a kid back in the late 80s early 90s they had a cool toy shop back then. ill never forget me and my cousins walking down to the mall . last time i was here was 2020 before i moved out of state

Came back to watch this one… the opening few minutes is like a crime is about to happen… 😮

Very nice mall! There’s so many design features in every view!

You should tours for the Valley Mall in Hagerstown, Maryland and the Francis Scott Key Mall in Frederick, Maryland next.

R.I.P., Chambersburg Mall. 1982-2023. I miss you.

Interesting fact -- the county jail (Dauphin County Prison) is located literally right behind this mall, and there used to be a Toys R Us behind the mall as well. You could see the jail from the Toys R Us parking lot. As a kid, i always found it comical that there was a jail located so close to the Toys R Us.

Hats off to the maintenance crew for keeping it up. It looks like this mall was once the place to hang out in it's prime. Like so many others because of Amazon and Ebay it is going out of business.

Enjoy the mall before they are all extinct

I've been to MacArthur since I was a kid and Y-E-A-H, it's depressing that it's now a bare bones of it's former self with a lot of stores gone like FYE for example or how Forever 21 used to be a Jeepers 😕

Aroind the 1:30 to 2 minute mark, what former anchor store did that used to be? This is a great video, sad to see the decline of this nice Taubman Company mall.

Good video. Thanks.

I enjoy mall shopping. 😢💔

i love this type of vídeo and i got SO happy when i noticed "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall" by Coldplay, playing. i swear, i just imagine myself listening to this song in an abandoned mall, just jumping and being myself bcz no one is seeing me, like, just happiness inside a sad place...

It’s even better than I remembered! I grew up in Maryland and that was the only place with a Great American Cookies around.

Did someone think to dig up and relocate all the plants in the mall? Plant them outside where they can get sunshine and rain and at least stand a chance of surviving? If just abandoned and left in the mall with no water they will soon all wither and die, that's not great, they were planted inside the mall for the shoppers and now they are just left to die.

This looks like Ascene out of A horror movie weird 🤔

Pretty creepy how the music still plays when nobody’s in the mall!.

What a shame. The days of people going out interacting with each other are just about over. Everyone just works then sits at home and does everything from their phone

:( this mall dying makes me so sad. This wasn't my main mall when I lived in this area (it was the capital city mall across the river which afaik is still thriving) but any time i came here it was so exciting. Seemed like it was doing pretty well as recently as the mid-late 2010s but it went into a death spiral sometime around when covid hit :/ sucks to see it closing so soon

Interesting looking place.

Any possibility this can be restored and made into a museum?

Good to see you made it there.

This mall certainty is a shell of itself from what it was back in the 80s and 90s. This place was packed back then on weekends with lots of people. Hess's patio restaurant on the 2nd floor was a staple in our family when I was little. My Grandparents would eat there all the time. My Mom worked at JC Penny and Buster Browns. I still remember Woolworths. Did the best cheeseburgers.

nice mall would hate to see this get abandoned in the futere

Very nice mall, I hope they keep the main structure.

Nice video map! It is a shame we’re loosing another Taubman masterpiece.

Chat with me and other mall enthusiasts about this mall and more over on Discord: discord.gg/HAhFHh4n3X

So the fountain has a metal fence around it so I guess this means that no one can fall into the fountain since you can't get anywhere near it cause of that.

Watching people sit in a food court with no restaurants open is just so sad to me.
