The Mall, footage from a dying mall in 1994

The Mall - Huntsville, AL 1994


This is The Mall, opened in Huntsville, Alabama in 1966 and demolished in 1998. The footage above–collected by Highway Explorer in 1994 as this former retail haven was taking its dying breaths–could do quite well with a dark vaporwave (or mallwave) soundtrack. From Highway Explorer:


This footage was shot on a very quiet Saturday night in February 1994 only a few years before its demolition. Books A Million is still there, and Home Depot is there now too. The sculpture used in the fountain sits in the traffic circle between Home Depot and Staples. The site is now called The Fountain.
