Jamaica Colosseum Mall

"The ticket Patrol guys and women give you a ticket before your meter is even out I was on the end of 165th Street near the salon and they wait till you're going to the store and then slap a ticket on your car with no envelope I just put a dollar in and before you before my dollar was up the city's trying to make money the city wants free money they tell their staff to give a ticket no matter what because they have to make a quota they shouldn't even be working it should be a camera and the ticket from a camera they don't need a job because they're not doing their job right they're doing it illegally they're giving tickets illegally you can't even go to Jamaica Avenue and Shop you put money in the meter and as soon as they see you going into a store because they're watching you from the corner of their eye and little Nicks and crannies watching who's going to be the next victim so that they can make their quota this is ridiculous the city is going to s***"

"This will always be home. You really have to be from queens to understand the culture of the colosseum. If you’re shopping you can find some great things in there for a decent price, But it’s nothing like a regular mall."

"I was at the Mall to film a couple of scenes for a television show. They dressed me and about four other guys in similar wardrobe: sweater, jacket, jeans or corduroy. We called ourselves the "Cosby Crew" because it was so reminiscent of the TV dad from the 80s - 90s. There was a teriyaki place underground in holding that I really wanted to try. It looked delicious and I kept promising the matron that I would be back to sample her wares (!). Unfortunately when we wrapped, they were closed. I really love me some teriyaki, so I hope I get a chance to go there again. Thanks for the reminder!"

"This place is bland. Not much options to choose. It’s more like, how do I put this, it like an Indian street food type or a food market style mall. Then there is the food court, it’s just two options. By the look of it, there used to be many other stalls open in the past. I’m just glad the Teriyaki place is still open, because the teriyaki sold by the Asian family there is really good and give generous amount, would recommend. Moving on, There’s is no system, the employee of the mall like security and such, not the individual business. The security doesn’t seem to care like the open and close the gate anytime they want. It’s like they are closing so early, like they just want to go home. When asked they get offended, repeat the same question and answer over and over again, and the closing time is way later. Then their the bathroom, the men. Although I see one janitor cleaning it a lot but the bathroom looks like a gas station bathroom and the stalls has no lock and it’s smells. Now by the looks of it the female bathroom looks much more cleaner and more renovated. Looks like it’s on its last legs From the looks like it this mall used to be the bomb the go to mall, very popular back in the days but now it’s outdated, needs a major renovation."

"Quick hits never crowded get in and out. If you know you know definitely not a tourist trap lol"
