Read moreI grew up here, so I can honestly judge this place. It use to be way better in the 80's & 90's. All the stores closed down and non of them stay open no matter what, It's a curse It'll close down. I've worked at this Mall for many years, so I know a lot more things on this Mall. A lot of Bumps stay around the Mall and Inside to waste their time charging phone and chilling out, so you will see them with their carts and all. They do tend to hog up the electrical chargers and they feel like they have a right to the Mall & have created problems for myself, My Family and many People we talk too. The ONLY stores open right now are AMC, ROSS, ROUND 1, Bus Transit (Upstairs), and some collectors store downstairs. The FOOD COURT is CLOSED. They are going to REMODEL It and all the other stores have Closed down. You will see people Walking/Hiking and use this Mall Inside for that too, since the Regional Park Schabarum is across the street. A lot of older people tend to exercise Inside & Out of the Mall. We do have the AWESOME Racing Car Crew every Fri/Sat and use the entire Mall or by Krispy Kreme to Park their cars. On Halloween they did have a Halloween-Trunk Event for the Kids and the Pumpkin Patch. They also have the yearly Circus Companies come out just last month. They are already setting up for the Santa Clause Pictures, this is fun! My kids participated and for the Easter Bunny was really FUN! It's hard to find things to do with kids. The Arcades & Ice-Cream is so cheap at Round One for $0.99 cents and Burlington did close down. It's a great mall if you know what you're coming for, don't expect too much from It. I Love It, I grew up hanging around this Mall and have seen so many good & bad...
Read moreThis mall is dead. It should be closed down and plowed into a parking lot. There are almost no stores inside. There are many stores that are closed, have limited hours, or close earlier then the mall hours. There are no major anchor stores left.
I don't know why anyone shops here except perhaps for nostalgia. The food Court has two dining options open. The AMC theater is still going strong and the round one video arcade place with bowling is going strong but the mall itself it's gone.
The location is what's killing it as the del amo fashion center has plenty of people shopping and the Glendale galleria has plenty of people shopping, everyday.
They could turn the old Sears building into housing for homeless people. Or tear it down and make it into regular apartments but letting it sit there and deteriorate is horrible for the neighborhood.
If you go, be sure to check out the closed pretzel store and the going out of business clothing stores. Perhaps you would like to pretend that there is a Cinnabon because there isn't and then go to the center of the mall where there's nothing to do but sit and remember a time when the mall was full and all the stores were open.
If you close your eyes, take it deep breath and imagine hard enough, you might be able to convince yourself that you're back in the...
