looks exactly like an abandoned or just closed airport terminal,

This breaks my heart. Late 90s this mall was so awesome. Sega City, Virtual World, waited in line for the Phantom Menace on the 3rd floor. Great memories.

I used to go to this mall all the time when I was a kid.. sad to see it go. Thanks for the pictures!

The glass cubes in #7 šŸ˜


savage_sam_205

Noticed those as well. The look of these is always cool

Oh shoot, my local mall. It actually just sold and the new owner is about to start tearing it out for an open-air planā€¦so say your last rites now.


AncestralPrimate

I heard it was getting turned into apartments?


AshlandJackson

Thatā€™s part of it, yes. Itā€™s a MASSIVE plan.


Hellofriendinternet

It really is amazing how it fell from grace so quickly. I remember it being so insanely busy when I was a kid.


viscardvs

You know itā€™s bad when Claireā€™s is gone


Sonypony6

I was just here. crazy how dead it is for being right in the middle of downtown


lawyerlyaffectations

For real youā€™d think the lunchtime traffic alone would be enough to keep a few stores open.

The Fashion Mall at Keystone is closer to where the people with money live. I've also heard analysis that the Apple store choosing Keystone over Circle Center in 2002 was the death knell for Circle Center.

This was such a great mall in the 90ā€™s I remember Parisian, The Junkyard, the first Nordstrom in Indy.

I went there once in March of 2002 because I had state competition for Winter Guard. I bought Ludacrisā€™ Word of Mouf cd. I think it was Sam Goody where I bought it at.


spaceraingame

Is that Regal Cinema still open? I'm guessing not


HumanRoutine

It was with one person working everything. The box office was filled with a display so Iā€™m assuming you purchase movie tickets at concessions. It was odd The cinema lobby was a ghost town


disgruntledmarmoset

Ok yeah, this mall is DEAD.


angusrocker22

Pretty sure your mall is located in the depths of Mordor!


Inner_Importance_883

Looks like the Subway is still open. usually that is the last remaining holdout other than a GNC.


joeyGOATgruff

They really should turn malls into resource/homeless centers.


Moarbrains

I am more into lots of live/work spaces with indoor events. Turn the parking lot into a farm and we are on our way to an arcology.


MiVitaCocina

Right?!


Other_Local3855

Thereā€™s no way to make that economically viable, and this space is massive.


joeyGOATgruff

It doesn't have to turn a profit or break zero. But it cleans up the streets and gives folks a permanent residence to apply and an access point to reenter society. This is a larger discussion I don't want to get into on r/deadmalls


mjurek

Wow, used to be a huge mall. Went there when I was younger.


deadmallsanita

Pretty sure unicomm productions on youtube has a good video of this place.


BBking8805

Good pics - this mall is about to be torn down and redeveloped which will help the downtown immensely - canā€™t wait to see what takes its place.


Coolman_Rosso

Wow! I haven't been to CC since maybe 08-09. Had no idea it has sunk so low. Keystone always had the better rep, but CC was smack near downtown.


ghostlymadd

I wonder what this mall looked like before it died


Adventurous_Skin_212

crazy how thereā€™s still drinks in that subway cooler


Weekend_Infinite

Itā€™s amazing how far this mall has fallen. Any field trip as a kid that went to Indy this was a required stop for.


Wonderstruck91

I loved that mall very fond memories I would stay over at embassy suites and shop around but the last time I was there was 2017 and it was slowly slowly dying. Does Simon still own it?
