Josh you should check out laconia state school in new hampshire. I've explored there for hours and there's some really cool spots on the campus like jail cells, a giant room with a pool, and a huge gymnasium

Josh! Tour Halloween tshirts need to have all the Haunted locations listed on the back! Seriously, you’ve been to so many, list them and they will sell! ❤

@eddievonb.7463 6 дней назад

Our Lakeside Mall in Sterling Heights Michigan just closed this past 4th of July. So much of my teen memories were at Lakeside Mall. Please think about coming and checking it out. I'd love to see inside that mall again. I practically lived there in the 90s.

The shock that washed over me when I opened RU-vid and this video popped up! Been watching you for awhile so to see you in my hometown is CRAZY! I’ve lived in The Berkshires my WHOLE life and this mall is home to some of my best memories as a kid. Would’ve loved to meet you while you were here, come back soon - there’s lots of haunted places around these parts!😉😂

@Justlittleold_me 6 дней назад

I moved to Pittsfield a few years ago, I’d love to hear about more haunted places around here!

Berkshire resident here, The mall closing is more complicated than online shopping. This area has a very high elderly population, so many elderly would go just to get out of the house. Anyways, the mall was sold in 2016 or 2017 to a new owner. He started to raise the rent to astronomical levels so many stores left because they didn't make enough to offset the rent. Target bought their store area outright as did regal. However, no one knew till later the new owner wasn't paying his taxes on the property. 3 years later, it was forcibly shut down because of the tax evasion. Dont know what happened to him after that. The state is in talks to potentially turn it into a Marijuana farm.

@evie9609 5 дней назад

Was looking for a comment like this before I chimed in- this is exactly it. A lot of malls sold to private owners or smaller companies and they seriously jacked up rent and fell behind on taxes. Would be a lot different if not! The owner also tried to make additional $ on renting out some spaces to less conventional occupants toward the end (remember the wrestling club?) so strange.

I grew up going to this mall! Our family even had our photos taken at Sears. I knew so many people who worked there too. Thanks for making a video about it!

damn bro watching this fills me with so much nostalgia n sadness in a way... especially seeing that mall-o-ween sign, i used to trick or treat at the mall when I was a kid lol. but yea pretty much all malls in the US have the same layout so it was like u were walking thru my local mall, but abandoned. sad to know mall culture is dying out, but that's life i suppose. thanks for the banger vid josh!

The 1st Store You Thought Was BestBuy Was Sears, I Have Been To This Location A Handful Of Times Have Not Lived In Massachusetts In Years So Didn’t Know It Closed Amazing VIDEO!

@lizaria8152 7 дней назад

Thanks for exploring your hometown abandoned mall. Glad to see Steve back in 🇺🇸 and welcome Dave. Hopefully Dan (Exploring with Fighters) will meet you all in October. It is sad that our malls have closed down due to lack of visitors, not enough revenue, high prices and of course online shopping. Lots of employees lost their jobs or had to find a store that will accept their transfer. It was a nice getaway with family or friends to just check out shops and grab a bite to eat. We still have one but I am afraid it too will close down by 2025. What was your favorite mall store? (Bath & Body works, Disney Store, K B Toys) Favorite place to grab a bite to eat? (Cinnabon)

Peace Train Tees is a local business ran by some of my family! I remember always going here to visit my mom when she worked at The Children’s Place. I miss it so much

@CharlieGordonRailfan 6 дней назад

Awesome video! I live near this Mall. That spot with the stars painted on the floor is where the local wrestling events used to happen! From what I have heard. The mall was closed was due to the former owner owing years of taxes. They wanted to knock it down, then they wanted to make it into a weed grow facility, last I heard, they wanted to make it into an elderly living facility. Don’t take what I am saying as gospel. But this is all what I heard!

@stavmiguel1125 6 дней назад

I heard about a reopening and I also heard about a cannabis grow operation. All rumors I guess.

Hi Josh and crew, I'm from Westfield Mass, and I've only been to that mall once. I used to go to the outlet mall in Lee and also the Holyoke mall. Those are my childhood malls.

First of all, STOKED for the van trip videos!!! Its been a long time coming. I'm sure it's been worth the wait. Second, I can't even imagine the feelings you experience exploring YOUR own mall, Just like YOUR old school. So freak cool, Josh. Living the life bother.

@ZoeMelia-dv3uv 5 дней назад

Love all these proper brilliant exploring places with you Josh. They are very fast dying breed. So sad how they have disappeared. We all loved shopping at the mall. Sad 😢😢😢

@Cindy-luvjpfe 6 дней назад

I just finished watching this video WOW! great video it's sad how malls are disappearing, there used to be one down the road from me they tore it down and built stand alone stores there. There's another mall about 15 mins. away and I was there the other day it's a two story mall and there are 19 stores closed on the upper level and 16 on the bottom level. I filmed some of it because I wanted to keep the memory for myself. Thank you Josh, Dave and Steve take care.

@asmrfootballer8113 6 дней назад

My home town Mall is still open and actually is busy despite online shopping being a big thing these days. Whenever I drive by the mall it always seems busy most especially on the weekend. It is sad though to see not all Malls are fortunate to still be active

The store with the star was an Old Navy then it closed. The local wrestling hosted their events there. The store you thought was Best Buy at first was actually sears. That was journeys where you question about. The sign where the camel cigarettes, that store was CVS. And yes that was Taco Bell! Great video this was the hang out in high school.

Wow, i hadnt been to that mall since the early 2000s, when i was living in Amherst, Mass.... this mall is actually in Lanes borough, next to Pittsfield MA, right on the NY border. Im not that surprised to see it like this now, as so many like it have fallen in recent years. Back in 03, 04 it seemed to be doing fine, as most were back then.

@Disturbd_76 6 дней назад

I’m super shocked at all the inflatable things in that place, why would the company not take them? Those are worth thousands of dollars! Even if company went out of business they could have sold them. That kind of waste just trips me out when I see these videos. Love the take along, thank you! We still have one regular mall here and several outdoor malls and they do a lot of business.

@psychoshredder4139 6 дней назад

I used to go to that mall and pickup chick's on weekends all the time, was a great place back in the, wish I knew you guys were coming to my area I would have told you some cool stories.🤘

@bluecatjay5229 6 дней назад

I’ve bear seen an empty shopping center in Australia. I use to loving going shopping now I hate only go if I really need something. I hate everywhere I go there’s always someone in my way, people walking so slow 😆I hate lining up to try things on and everything sort of looks the same. I mainly go to eat I love dumplings 😆

@sarahmyotte5750 6 дней назад

I went to liberty tree mall in Danvers MA yesterday and I got chills! It is definitely going to be out of business soon. It only has a handful of stores left, and 2 food options. Makes me sad cos that was such a huge part of a lot of our childhood and teenage years!

We still have a few active malls here.i like going there to walk, and if i find something to buy, there's no waiting on it to ship, and pay shipping. I take it home, that day! Great vid, hope Dave is enjoying the US! I don't drink any soda, or anything that says zero sugar, or diet, they usually have artifical sweeters, which are worse for you than real sugar! Messes up my stomach and liver, so i still to real sugar ones. Hope you guys are having a great time! Would be cool to run into you!

@SpaceFlye 6 дней назад

My local mall is still kicking, but it's really the Dillard's and JCpenny that's keeping it alive at this point. There are still l lots of stores there. However, many vacant store front exist there simultaneously. It's just becoming too expensive for a lot of business owners to keep these physical locations around. Amazon and the proliferation of online shopping do account for a great deal of this shift. Not to mention sky-high inflation.
