What a great video. I'm biased because I'm a Badger who remembers going here as a kid, but this is just a testament to how good these videos can be when someone takes the time to both record *and* edit them. Some folks get great footage, but then screw it up in the editing room. But the post work here is such a testament to patience, to careful scripting, subtle music choices and rhythmic editing.

This video actually made me cry. I grew up on the northwest side of Milwaukee. Went to see Santa as a young kid at this mall. I remember the old water metal water fountains from before the remodel. I spent countless hours there as a teenager. Hung out in the food court, went to movies, etc. I got engaged in that mall (I know not the most romantic place, but still). Took our first born there to shop, see Santa, etc. too. Seeing what it became is so heartbreaking. Thankfully now, about 3 years after this video was posted, they're finally putting the mall out of is misery and tearing the rest of it down.

a moment of silence for our passing places of our youth. the mall was to GEN X what the internet is to generations after us. great job as usual!

Who else feels extreme sadness that a big part of our youth is now abandoned? I feel so fortunate to be born in the 70s, to experience my teen years in the 80s, and college and first real job in the 90s. Kids today will never get to experience what we did unless by some miracle malls become a thing again.

The thought that keeps coming to me when watching this video is the idea that its very possible that this isn't just the future of all malls... but all of society. The wrong virus in a lab gets spilled, or the wrong country presses the nuclear button and this could just become planet earth.

I think what shocks and almost offends me most about these videos is the impermanence of everything. When you were a kid going through malls, the smells, sights, and "officialness" of everything just gave this vibe of invincibility to human society, this will be here forever. Watching this structure that created underlying childhood emotional belief, built up through your foundational experience crumble into into not just something that's abandoned, but torn apart, drenched in sewage and torn out of your deepest nightmare or best horror novel is amazing.

So heartbreaking. The mall that I patronized as a teenager now looks like something out of a low budget horror movie.

I don’t understand people’s need to vandalize! So sad to see this old mall in such bad shape. I enjoyed the content as always. Keep up the good work, Kristin.

This is one of the eeriest abandoned malls I have ever seen, I can only imagine how spooky it is at night. I have always been obsessed with the way structures that were once full of life can end up just sitting silently and rotting away. The skyridge part almost seemed like a modern cathedral in a way. Keep up the awesome work.

I've seen so many dead mall exploration videos over the past few years, and this was so well done, my new favorite.. so informative and respectful. I'm really glad I discovered your channel and can't wait to watch more!

[djsonic]

I grew up at a time when malls were still striving but now my children are growing up at a time when malls are at their last feet. It makes me sad to see them disappearing and your video just hit a spot in my memories. Very will done and narrated. Thank you!!

[justinmorrison]

Those ceilings are just spectacular. You featured the architecture of this abandoned mall beautifully.

[swallace]

This video was great, absolutely fantastic. One of the perks of being a Petreon member. Lots of detail, and lots of decline from the past few years! Awesome job!!!

[seand]

Great video. I can still see the beauty of that building, those skylights/ceiling are incredible. This video shows even more damage and destruction than previous explorations have shown, so sad.

[jeee]

I am truly amazed at how this video turned out. So many have already documented this mall, but your take has been one of the best I have seen. It is amazing how the mall was able to stay mostly intact and secure up until a few years ago. So many malls start getting ripped apart as soon as they are closed.

Growing up in the 80’s I really enjoy your channel. The editing, commentary and music is always top notch. Watching this one makes me nervous and hopefully you enter these structures not alone or with someone who can provide security if you run into someone who would do you harm. Be safe.

[BeefyBytes]

I really appreciate the KEY footage you showed that demonstrated for practically the first decade of it being abandoned, the mall was actually still in very good shape!!

[GonzoPandora]

"Viewers, don't let you dead malls grow up to be Northridge" hurt to be honest. I still remember how much I loved the fountains when I was a young kid. The Easter display hit me too. My parents have a photo of me meeting the Easter bunny at Northridge when I was about 3

Your videos are among the best from both content and production quality. I like the subtle humor in some of them, but this is your best video yet. Super smooth camera work, perfect musical and background sound theming, (Reminds me a bit of the Aperture Science ambience in Portal 2).. and perfect narration. Great work.

[Eufranco]

2:11 Scratched my head for a moment on where that music was from, and then *DING* Makou Reactor!! Pretty sweet renditions of FFVIIaporwave used throughout here, especially that remix of Flowers Blooming in the Church near the end. As always, a somber yet enlightening exploration! Hope you bring an air-filtered mask next time.

The mall was place you could meet up with your friends, buy a birthday present, get your nails done or whatever your mood was. The sounds, bright lights, and smells. Christmas time was a hustle and bustle. But beautifully decorated with a giant Christmas in the middle of it all. Having a soft pretzel and cruising to see who had the best sales.very fond memories .❤️✌️
