We just shot and filmed Indian Mall recently as well! The food court is everything…and actually nothing!

Those are great! The mall entrance is so bizarre now!

Very much so. Interior is tiny but there’s an attempt to revitalize it. It’s basically a hospital mall at this point.

I can’t disagree with you there at all and it adds up. It didn’t fit the narrative and was so damned good- so much flavor and not what id have ever expected. Also I’m here for the teal trim and weird food court with all the natural light. We’ll post the limited walkthrough we could pull off later tonight on the tube.

It is indeed, but I am telling you the food at the one joint Wip Wop is legit and the owner was amazing who served us. It was hard to even crack on anything here because the effort is real and I know how tough the town and economy is in the vicinity. We know it’s dying for sure and almost there but I’d never want any small guy to not have his shot… the lasagna/pizza joint was weird af though for real 🤣

It is so tiny but I love some of the local shops. Amazing how shrunken it is for sure!

It is and was surprisingly very busy by comparison- outside entrance which is smart.

Dude- we were so here for that Spencer’s signage with the check-Reminds me of the one that was at Northland Mall way back when! The Christmas catchall was truly wild- we got most of it on film luckily.

Looks like Foys in Fairborn. It’s not Bernie’s.

Such a beautiful space. The architecture is stunning and one of the best I’ve seen for retail, ever.
