Visiting the very iconic filming location of the Back to the Future mall scene taken place known as in the film the Twin Pines mall , really names Puente Hills mall! This mall lost in time has suffered severely with many of its businesses, closing, lots of empty stores and almost no one inside! Enjoy as I walk around to see what remnants are left throughout this historical filming location!

When I was 19, I worked at the Sears there. at 21, I worked at the Robinson's May there. this mall was my beginning story. Holds a special place in my heart. It was rough even 25 years ago. =( RIP Puente Hills.

Wow! So you have seen the mall change as time went on as I did growing up! Very cool! Hope it stays with us longer than expected

This mall was the spot in the late 90’s early 00’s. I miss the fountains. The nostalgia is real! 😢

Really makes me sad to see this mall like this :( but I'm glad that at least West Covina Mall and Santa Anita Mall are still pretty lively and serving the SGV.

One of the things killing stores since the when this mall was opened is the average couple had 3 kids now it's less than 2. Kids consume the most stuff after all

@michaelroyer818 9 месяцев назад

It's probably more like online shopping that is not only killing this mall but most malls in general.

@Bookworm214-y3d Месяц назад

@@michaelroyer818 it isnt online shopping, if you go to china (which has a booming middle class), their malls are packed like taylor swift concerts (and the chinese consume more online goods than us). the issue is the disappearance of the middle class and people no longer having disposable incomes. nowadays people survive off of credit cards.

It was actually busy today when I went! So it looks like people are giving this mall a second chance. They even put up a really beautiful Christmas tree. I really hope they reopen that restaurant by the entrance. The interior looks amazing and it’s sad nothing is being done with it.

@Nickrrad 9 месяцев назад

Agreed it looks so nice and big! I hope it gets repurposed!! I’ll have to go back and check out the Santa display

WHOA!!!!!!!🤯That is crazy as I used to go here in the late 1970's thru the mid 1980's as a teenager and the whole mall was thriving😊I used to go to the arcade, La Casa De Candles, Whimsey Works and Spencer Gifts as well as Music Land😁I remember the theater used to be across from the parking lot and down the road was Malibu Grand Prix and Showboat ArcadeIt was a different world back then, it's a shame to see it like thisThank you for posting this👍🏻ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻

Nice video. I was there exploring the mall when you were making this video. You can see me and my girl very briefly. It was crazy eerie how empty the mall was that night. Don’t ask me how I ran into this video but it came up in my feed.

How funny! What are the odds!! Thanks for commenting and watching! 👍🙏

@curtismaize 10 месяцев назад

Nice video man. Whenever I see these abandoned malls it makes me feel a little sad for the old times when these were important spaces for the way of living. Now it's more convenient to shop online and I can only imagine that's one of the main reasons along with operating costs that these malls end up being abandoned.

@Nickrrad 10 месяцев назад

It was sad, the silence in there was so loud. Times have certainly changed and online shopping is most likely the reason along with other expenses. Thanks for watching 👍

@@Nickrrad yeah you're video was randomly recommened and I enjoyed it. Take care man

@Bookworm214-y3d Месяц назад

its the lack of disposable income, people have less money these days. you cant afford to go browse and randomly grab a fun outfit for the summer the same as you used to. in the 90s people overall had more money.

@curtismaize Месяц назад

@@Bookworm214-y3d I agree. I actually think it's a lot of reasons all coming together at once.

Puente Hills Mall was amazing during 1990-2010. I used to go AMC theaters every weekend. There was so much fun stuff to do and a lot of shopping: Macy's, Sears, Champs, Journeys, etc, etc. It's a shame. I haven't been there in years. It's a shame.

@mariebelladonna437 10 месяцев назад

Great video. BTTF is one of my favorite movies. It was so cool seeing that Twin Pines replica sign! BTW, the conversation areas are called (or used to be called, back when they were situated in recessed areas in the floor) 'conversation pits'. And the silhouette of a store's old sign, where you can still read the letters that were once there (like at the old Sears) is called a 'label scar'. Dead malls are so wonderfully nostalgic, and so sad, at the same time. Thank you for documenting this gem, before it disappears forever. Also, wow, MUCH nicer, friendlier security than I've seen at a LOT of malls!

@Nickrrad 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! Appreciate the info in the seating area and the label scar, that sounds much better! 👍

@mariebelladonna437 10 месяцев назад

@@Nickrrad sure! 😊 I grew up in the era when malls were in their prime (early 80s to mid 90s) so I'm a huge dead mall aficionado. I literally binge watch videos like this one. It's heartbreaking to see our malls go. But it's also a wonderful dose of nostalgia. And like I said, it's documentation of these places that meant so much, to so many. If we're going to lose them, at least we'll have the memories forever. If you're interested in that sort of thing, and want to see dead mall videos from all over the country, I *highly* recommend Sal's Exlog series, NorthCdogg22, Dan Bell, and Ace's Adventures. There are many others. But in my personal opinion, they are the some of the absolute best dead mall content creators out there.

Fashion Q was one of my fave clothing stores as a teen since it was so affordable. I remember those conversation areas being filled with people waiting for Todai before it was Makino. The late 90s and early 00s seemed to be its heyday, and it is such a bummer to see this mall so empty.
