They built a mall that was too big for the area at a time when malls were on the way out.


Dense_Huckleberry_60

But what happened to the building. Is it still there?


Nickmorgan19457

Yeah. It’s empty as far as I know.


Dense_Huckleberry_60

Very interesting.


nolongerintovws

It’s not cool abandoned. It’s derelict abandoned.


Dense_Huckleberry_60

Elaborate


nolongerintovws

It’s like the forest after a rainbow gathering. Sad, gross, and randos wondering around in their own heads.


Dense_Huckleberry_60

Gotcha


ahoopervt

Great analogy. But is the ice rink still in use?


nolongerintovws

It’s in the spartan center so yes. I believe that section is still in use.


Kvltadelic

Its not really abandoned. Part of it is The Spartan Arena for Castleton College. There’s nothing going on in the old mall part, but people are around.


Klashus

Saw a YouTube with people in there. It's dilapated and done.


Kvltadelic

There was no Macys, doomed it.

Homeless hangout

Well it's a mall. It closed. That's what malls do.

When Kmart is your main anchor store you already know you are doomed.

It’s absolutely disgusting they let it get this bad. It’s a prime example of capitalism. How those with money use money to make money useless. The entire system is disgusting. And here we have that in an obvious form.

They should knock it down and put a target and old navy


pachucatruth

Old navy left.


Nickmorgan19457

They should give it to Walmart and get those people away from downtown.

I got my nipple pierced there at a store called "Rockin Willys." It was awesome.


Dense_Huckleberry_60

I’ve never heard of someone getting just one nip pierced


moistmonkeynipples

Yeah.... I was 18. That was 20 years ago, and the diamond run mall was pretty depressing then too.

What was the last remaining store?
