  • I was here on the weekend. It's a bizarre place, and the people are so friendly. Love to see some redevelopment happen here

    My daughter lives in Columbia. Haven't been to this mall, but she took me to the Forest Fair Mall of Columbia!
  • Nice one. I appreciate your honesty. When I visit my local mall (Triangle Town Center, Raleigh NC), I think about you. It has stores, but not too many customers. I think of my young days when the local mall was everything. Back then, the idea of a mall being abandoned and dark and spooky never entered anyone's mind. Malls were full of life that nobody ever thought to question. Now, dead malls are sadly the norm. Very sad indeed.
  • I'm picturing a group of zombies performing that cover version of "True".
  • @Steve.Cutler
    I live about an hour from this mall. Its a shame what a shell its become over the years... I remember going to this mall in the 90's on the weekend and it could take you 20 minutes just to find a parking space, THATS how far its fallen!
  • @extblues
    That slowed-down version of Spandau Ballet's "True?" Seriously - chef's kiss.
  • @TheCubeTube
    I love how we can all come together with our love of malls and dislike of companies like Moonbeam! Glad I found your channel Kristin, just subscribed!
  • @anngladstone9130
    I lived in Columbia in the 80's and 90s, spending a lot of time at this mall and Dutch Square. It's really sad to see their slow demise.
  • I'm caught up on your videos and what a way to end this cruise, an epic about Moonbeam. "Make your own damn sandwich" 🤣🤣🤣 Never stop Kristin. 😉
  • @rosierose2717
    Great to see another video! As always, an awesome job! 🎉
  • Yaaaassss! Another awesome vid!!! I wish you were down here in Columbia only a few months after your actual visit. I assume you already saw updates, but for viewers that don’t know… two anchors have been demolished internally and are now becoming state, local government and health department offices. I will probably be up that way for an event at USC soon, so I will stop by to see the most up to date changes.

    I really appreciate your basic human decency and how you stand up for the small-guy, mom and pop, family businesses Kristen. You make me feel good when you rant about corporate dragons laying waste to communities that at the beginning, saw them as saviors, and welcomed them in. 🙏
  • @user-nu4ms6hh9w
    Glad to see you back again Kirsten and Ron great video as always,hope you are both well 👍🏻😊
  • @Hannah-uc4vb
    I love your videos. The background music is always great. Really gives that feeling of nostalgia. ❤ Also, I've heard of Moonbeam. My question is, how the hell are they still in business??? You're rant was awesome, btw. It had me in tears. 😂
  • Wow I love this roll your on tell em like it is! All to the dragging Spandau Ballet's True. Great job as always.
  • @ericlee6495
    Oh hey 👋 Kristen I’m so glad your videos are back and I love you 😊❤
