Went here for the first time in july not knowing anything about the mall but ended up really overwhelmed with how HUGE it was, THIS is what a mall is! 😊
The Millcreek Mall had it all! Grew up at this mall. The two arcades, Tilt and Red Baron were pretty sweet. Dahlkempers and Mace Electronics were great. Glad to see it surviving.
I can't believe you went to the Erie mall, lol. I grew up going to that mall, lol. They used to say that the mafia owned it because it was shaped like a telescope that was facing the ex-wife house. I remember the area had a lot of woods back in the days but the mall. It looked it better in the 80s because there was a little area that you could walk into and sit, and there would be plants sitting around the edges it was so cool. I don't like how it looks now, and it's not as cool as it used to be. They had a lot of nice stores but you know it's not the greatest area it's not very rich and a lot of people couldn't afford some other pricey stores so there you have it. I Miss Kaufman's department store, they also had Carlisle's department store, and Hornes department store.
Ok, I know it's kind of been talked to death about in this community but I really think you should do a video on the Rolling acres mall in Akron, OH. I feel like your voice would be perfect to talk about it's history and it would be cool to see what footage you could find of the mall.
I wonder if this benefits primarily from its location - as mentioned, there's no local competition nearby and the relative ease shoppers from (higher tax) New York and Ohio states can reach this mall doubtless contributes to it continuing to be healthy while so many others are dying...
