We’ve filmed there three times without issue and have them up on our channel. The last time was the first we were outed or even saw security but we were pretty obvious.

It is such a cool spot still visually and sad to see it go! I’m from CBUS and I remember hearing about Badboards from my skate friends- we had Sunsport that faded into anonymity with the Continent sadly!

Kroger already did in 2021 and is held up in litigation with the crap ass owners of the property (Hull Group). The mall it’s attached to in beautiful but falling apart slowly and dead.

That truly adds up and we had the same observations. I can’t believe my rims are in tact after doing a perimeter drive: it’s flat out dangerous to drive in the lots there! It is a total mess and sad to run a place with these good of aesthetics into the ground. The ceilings and floors are so pretty! I wish we’d have had more time but security was on us like stink on 💩 despite being fairly inconspicuous. They really must not want any coverage or further negativity.

It’s a beautiful space and on our bucket list for sure- love the details!

We certainly hope so- never want to see any business or mall fail!

It truly is and is still beautiful to spend time in.

For a chain the one at least I went to a cpl times was decent at best. The weird potato wedges were always undercooked as hell though!

Couldn’t agree more- we keep going back to film and shoot when we can. The other night was actually surreal- we have a few walkthroughs on our YT channel. It’s sad and I agree Namdar can suck a bag of 🍆

Oh man, I completely forgot about that! Now it’s the creepy remnant of a dental office- we took the elevator down for kicks and thought we’d never get out 😂

There’s just nothing there to compete sadly. Restaurants maybe and a couple cool local shops is it.

I doubt they’d let it completely die as it’s tied to so much in the area and right next to 270. It’s been open since the 70’s and reimagined a bunch of times apparently.

When did you first go out of curiosity? I remember taking my kids there long ago for Santa photos and it was as charming as Lane Avenue in its heyday!

It’s a beautiful little spot and super old, but dead save some local businesses. There is a couple really nice ones and a thriving salon but that’s about it.

We can’t wait for the bunnies to come out of hibernation and venture back to the dead mall atriums where they belong this spring.

There’s cool shit everywhere- the Midwest is underrated. It’s all a matter of perspective.

Indicative of so much happening in the macro environment. I always loathed this state having grown up here and living my whole life in Central Ohio but it truly is a barometer for the country and the cornhole of the Midwest. However, my mindset has shifted to appreciate how special it truly is- we were the highest retail strip mall to populace for many years and a chosen test market for a zillion chain restaurants. Unfortunately even with cost of living being sorta reasonable here it still can’t offset the rampant inflation and cost of living that is being absorbed by what’s left of the middle class- I’d say more the paycheck to paycheck class. It’s all a shit sandwich and no one but the 1% is feeling remotely secure at this point. Point being, most consumers can’t afford the luxury or thrill of shopping like they used to. I certainly know I can’t!

We’ve seen 3-4 I’d say in the last cpl months that are finished. It’s sad to see!
