Lakeside Mall

"This is my childhood mall, so sad to see the condition it is in now. Lakeside is still alive for the time being, but it is no where near where it used to be sadly. Very bittersweet. Still, good place to kill time. There's a lot of seemingly smaller businesses, and quite a few chains as well. If you want to exercise this is also the place to go, as it is large and stores are scattered across the mall. It's also very lovely if you enjoy abandoned places as the empty stores will give that abandoned vibe. The jeepers was my favorite to peer into. Hot topic was pretty good, auntie Anne's also still solid. For me, I went window shopping with my mom, very nostalgic."

"85% of the mall has closed up. Very outdated. "Food court" had one restaurant, but no employees could be seen."

"I came here the day before Christmas Eve and forgot how fun it was to just shop in person. I highly recommend coming to the small, there is still a lot to see! Tons of deals too!"

"So sad. Many stores are closed. I know from reading the paper that there are plans to develop it further and use up the space. I hope they do it soon!!! There are so many wonderful memories here, and it's just a shell of its former greatness. Hope it can come back stronger than ever!"

"Majority of the spaces are empty, and many stores are having their closing sales. The food court only has a couple of tenants left. Half of the escalators/elevators don’t even work anymore. People seem to come here primarily for visiting Macy’s or JCPenney. Quite unfortunate given how spacious the mall is and the location is also very good."
