Crossroads Mall, Now Abandoned 

I am nearly overwhelmed with grief watching this. I'm an old man now. I used to go there from lawton to shop for gifts for my kids after my wife left me. I always felt good after a trip there because the place was so upbeat and full of life. Pitiful what it has become. Kind of a metaphor for U.S.A.. . . Pitiful what it has become.

Good to see that the place is tightly boarded up to prevent vandalism and theft.

I have fond memories of LeMans Speedway from the 1970's... So sad to see this mall gone.

I loved this mall and worked there a bit in my teens. I wonder if there's some sort of historian out there who has collected a lot of photos and videos of the mall in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I'd love to just kind of take a trip back.

I grew up on the Southside the mall was a big part of my life and my kids To see it now like this is so sad I remember the parking lot would be full every weekend and walking threw during Christmas was Beautiful Im talking about late 80s threw late 90s

It's so sad to see the mall dead now. But I've been thinking. Has anybody ever thought about buying and converting the old shops into posh apartments? With some small convenient stores and restaurants sprinkled hear and there? Just wishful thinking I guess.

I grew up going to that mall nights with my parents and on weekends with my friends. I live close to it now and all I have are memories of what Crossroads was like on the inside. Good Memories!!!

My family and I used to go here often when I was growing up. So many memories here. Sad to see it like this.

I grew up in western Oklahoma in the 80s and 90s. We used to take trips to "the city" and I always looked forward to going to Crossroads Mall. ❤

R.I.P. Crossroads Mall. I’ve been going there multiple times ever since I was very small. I remember lots of things that I’ve done while being there: shopping at Dillard’s, riding the carousel, eating at Chinex and Hot Spot Pizza, and more. It’s September 2019 now and the building is still standing, and I even heard rumors that the mall might come back. Until then, it’s basically one of the many abandoned malls across America. I now go to Sooner and Penn Square, but those two places are just not the same...

I'm from Lawton and use to go up there quite a bit during my college years back in the mid 90's. So sad to see all these malls I use to hang out at abandoned and closed.

I lived in OKC area most of the 00's/2010's it was a great mall back then, TONS and TONS of people shopped there !!. My favorite was the LARGE hobby shop on the first floor. Sadly as mentioned lots of gang crime started happening there and with online shopping and fact that It's in a BAD area of OKC sealed its fate forever :/ RIP Crossroads Mall

I worked in Dillards from 1981-85. I loved Crossroads Mall. Breaks my heart.

The music is a really nice touch. Very nostalgic. I live about 4 minutes from this mall, and I’d like to go back & see what’s left soon.

I moved away from OKC right before they shut it down for good, so thank you for posting these videos, its nice to be able to get one last look before its gone. I was born in the late 90s and only have a few memories of the mall before it really started to flounder, so it was cool to hear some of the things you remembered being there that may have been before my time.

We lived in Paul’s Valley, OK. It was always a treat to go to “the city” on the weekends with our kids. And ALWAYS the day after Thanksgiving shopping! So many happy times there! So sad!!

The charter school that is in Crossroads Mall in OKC own the part of the mall they are in and decided to move to that location because it is bigger. They expanded.

Thanks for the video. Great memories of the mall. We Used to come up from Lawton to visit this mall. Hate to see it this way.

Man I miss this mall back in 97.

I had a good friend that ran the heating and air-conditioning of the mall. He worked alone and often invited me to "...come to work...." Which meant that he was bored and wanted me to come and share a joint with him on the roof. He gave me of a grand tour of the HVAC units around the facility as well as a tour of the roof. He actually had the key to the roof access doors. We went all over the roof of the mall by walking on the gutter system. The gutters were made of steel and wound all of the roof. But the highlight of the excursion was going to the very peak of the triangler glass roof peak. My friend & I had just finished a joint and I went to the very top of the glass roof peak and putting the roach in between two pieces of the metal at the peak.

Cool video, I work in Texas for a shop based just across the r/r tracks from the mall. I had wondered about it after I saw it back in 2017 before it closed. I was up a few weeks ago and brought my drone to get some footage but the weather was garbage the whole week I was here.

DAWN OF THE DEAD FILMING LOCATION

I remember my mother and I were at jcpenny’s when it was still there at crossroads and we were prom dress shopping and someone came on Intercom or whatever it was and as I was trying on one of the prom dresses they said with the owner of the 2005 equinox’s please come to the front desks turns out some lady decided to go on a duvet stealing spree and hit our car but anyway I really miss all the memories I had in this mall especially with family

I loved that mall🥺💔

The Braums was added well after the mall opened. The Macy's location was being operated as an auto parts warehouse, but the owner was selling out, so it's future is in question.

Santa Fe south is the school occupying the mall

I worked at Smiths knife and gift in the mid 80's there, and lived in the apt's just to the west across I-35. They have been tore down for awhile now.

Santa Fe South is not temporarily there. It’s there permanently. It’s now high school and middle school.

I havent been in that mall since the '80s. When i was a kid, we lived on NW 25th.. Our backyard butted up to the parking lot of Sheppard Mall.

This place was magical to me as a kid

I loved this small when I was small now it’s a school and a cool thing is that the plaza is my school and all the class room still look the same

I remember going there whenever there was only around 4-5 stores open waiting for their leases to be up. One was champs I believe.

Used to go there weekly on my off days from work back in the day sad that a once great mall is now just an shell of the old days

that is sad I literally grow-up at that mall, my mother managed Life Uniform for years.

It all gets written-off down the line. The taxpayer gets stuck with the loss in the end.

Just sold for 6.5 million

They could have put a Costco there. Instead it went to Moore. Lets hope it doesn't remain and eye sore to the south side of OKC for much longer. I miss that mall alot.

What happened to the mall why did it fail because I remember going there when I was younger but it was on its last leg and no one told me what happened

Wow I cant believe it. I saw Titanic there when it came out. For OKC it was an excellent mall.

I was an all-night security guard at the site in the early’70s when it was being built. Full circle.

Crossroads mall in Omaha is abandoned too, coincidence? Bad name?

I grew up going to this mall in my childhood in the 70's and 80's I lived on NE 47th street me and my family used to come to Piccadilly's to eat.

I miss this mall my dad use to take here and play on the play place and the 🎠 carousel 😰😥😥

My daughter's was there when they had the shooting. They were just at the top floor of where the kid was shot by security at the bottom of the stairs

The school is permanent.

"And now, the end is near, and so I face my final curtain....." Is there any plans for the site?

I bought my first Mitchell and Ness jersey there in 1997

Anyone remember the restaurant 'The Lions Share"?

You needs to find a way in or at least get permission to

is this place easy to get into?

Reminds me of 1976 and that 77 Trans Am I was flogging!#$ 🤔🧙‍♂️

They should try to get a community college if tech school 😊 just a suggestion I feel sad when I look at this

I remember when they first opened

What killed Crossroads Mall?

The mall is my school now

Did he say "This is literally just a hulk now." instead of 'husk'? >.>

THATS MY SCHOOL!!!😂😂💀

Gimble please... the bouncy bouncy made me ill.

this school sucks welch doesn’t even go there anymore

use to be a great mall till the gang bangers took over and drove to extinction.
