Video from the Tyson Corner Center mall located in the great state of Virginia. Footage of shoppers at the mall and going into various stores. This video last around 9 minutes #tysoncornercenter #brookstone
For me, old Mall / Arcade vids are some of the most top-notch things to see in regards to nostalgia and trying to get a sense of part of the culture back then. I'm glad I found this channel.
@@edjsjjsjsjeje3751 You're an idiot to assume that, the point is , you can cherry pick any tragedy, you could say the same about covid and this decade. It doesn't take away from how good someone feels this time period was for them. So please spare us the dramatic bs.
In 1984 I was fresh out of high school and had no idea how I was going to make it in life. Here we are almost 40 years later, and I still have no idea how I'm going to make it in life.
Wow. I forgot how crowded malls were back then. I went to the mall 3 days before Christmas this past year and parked in the first spot outside Macy’s, walked in and it was pretty much a ghost town. I was at that same mall on Christmas Eve day with my mom in 1999 and it was a total mob scene. Sad that malls are dying.
1984, age 12. The malls were my haven. Burlington Center, Moorestown Mall, Cherry Hill Mall. The stores, the clothes, the hair, the music, the people...all awesome!
This is the kind of video you could convert the audio to a cassette tape or CD, and in the event of the apocalypse, go to a mall that has sunny areas, bring a battery powered boom box, play this in the open area, sit on a bench and stare at the floor and imagine that people and society still exist. The ambience of a mall full of mumbling, shuffling shoppers.
I remember 1984 as the year that shopping just took off! It seemed like everyone had to buy a new tv, stereo system, games, toys and loads of clothes, shoes, accessories and jewelry. I don't remember the buying spree slowing down until 1993. I worked in retail and the malls were packed every day of the week.
What is something that is missing? No hoochie mommas,walruses showing everything. People had more class,dressed better,behaved better. i remember black friday being civil. plus most stuff was still made in USA! Better quality!
Funny how we get all misty over big malls in their hey day, easy to forget how hated the developments where for destroying what was there before be it older buildings or just nature. Not to mention the many smaller long standing businesses badly affected and closed due to a mall development in a community.
Back when you wore your best for a trip to the mall, it was the highlight of the week. Now people think they are cool if they walk out in their pajamas. nothing cool about being a slob.
I was 8 in 1984. I remember being dragged to malls and I didn’t like how crowded it was. Now malls are so empty! It was neat seeing original Cabbage Patch Kids again. I bet this mall is now closed.
And there we have the modern penchant for excessive euphemism. It used to be that you gave a suburban mall a name as straightforward as "Springfield Mall". Now you try to pretend it's in the middle of a colonial village, even though it's not in the middle, it's not colonial, and it's not a village-things like "Village Crossing", "Towne Center", "The Shoppes at Fairfield Commons", with zillion-acre parking-lots surrounded by six-lane roads, while the actual downtown degenerates into pawn-shops, high-priced junk-food & lottery-tickets convenience-stores, pot-shops and vape-shops, and payday-loansharks.
The times where to get something you actually had to move your ass off the couch. Now you order stuff from bed and it will be delivered streight to your door.
Probably not the same as online shopping just the experience is different. Clicking a few buttons on a screen seems very simple but its surely unpleasant and boring
Sad to think that some of the older folk shown probably aren’t with us anymore. Overall a great video, I just thought I would share my incite, regardless of how depressing it may seem.
