welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:04
you're just peeking in this closed
0:08
store inside a mall not an abandoned
0:11
Mall not a closed mall but a dying mall
0:15
if you will that's what Tom right here
0:17
likes to call this particular Mall also
0:21
AKA known as Dr
0:23
Falcon why are you call do Dr Falcon
0:26
just curious that go that goes back a
0:29
long time I used to in the Ford Falcon
0:31
owners uh Club of America sure what you
0:33
you're a self-proclaimed gear head right
0:35
you're in the cars so the Falcon the car
0:37
right Ford Falon that's why you're
0:38
wearing a firestone hat it's all about
0:41
cars but this Vlog is not about cars
0:43
this Vlog is an about a very interesting
0:47
subject a closed not a closed it's
0:51
opened dying dying dying but it's
0:54
actually being rejuvenated slowly
0:57
however
0:58
99.9% of the stores are closed there is
1:01
a college right over here in part of the
1:04
nether regions of it but look at this
1:08
we're going to take you on a walk
1:11
through this
1:13
dying interesting very kind of kind of
1:16
creepy in a way there's no music you can
1:20
hear some kids in the background because
1:21
he said there's a daycare of the school
1:23
here somewhere in here so let's take
1:25
them on a walk through after I do the
1:29
intro it's it's my second channel daily
1:31
blog channel it's the
1:32
daily escalator that's not working
1:37
because probably there's not enough
1:40
people to take the escalator nothing up
1:42
there there's nothing up there so they
1:43
built these is closed they built these
1:46
wooden boxes here the name of the mall
1:48
is Global Mall at The Crossings but what
1:51
do you remember the name of the mall
1:53
being originally it was known as the
1:55
Hickory Hollow Mall Nashville Tennessee
1:57
actually Antioch just outside Antioch
2:00
Let's Take a Walk Let's Take a Walk you
2:03
know I do a lot of moments of quietness
2:05
lately in the videos to give you guys
2:07
the full experience in the full Ambiance
2:09
of places you will probably be
2:11
experiencing a lot of that today I was
2:13
actually going to do a main channel of
2:15
this but a lot of places the new owners
2:18
that are taking this over do not want a
2:21
video being presented of everything bad
2:24
about a place so we're going to focus on
2:25
the entire place the open stores that
2:28
are opening Now new
2:30
This Global what's this thing called
2:33
Global Market yeah the global market
2:35
there is a college that just opened up
2:37
so the place is on the year and a you
2:40
could say this place is on the upswing
2:42
again they're trying but there's still
2:43
parts of it that are very interesting
2:45
people do walk through the mall you know
2:48
how people do the mall walking yeah
2:50
that's what we're doing right now that's
2:51
we're doing CU I have my hand up in the
2:53
a right so I'm walking with my hands are
2:55
cold cuz I have very little heat in here
2:57
that's very true but look at this code
3:01
adom there you
3:03
go if that doesn't say you I don't know
3:06
anything that does does anybody actually
3:07
know what a code atom is I worked retail
3:09
for a long time so I actually know what
3:11
a code atom is if anybody knows leave a
3:14
comment down below if you know what a
3:16
code adom is of course you're probably
3:18
just going to Google it and you can also
3:21
Google the name of this
3:22
mall look at
3:31
this I think this was dress shop did you
3:31
ever buy any dresses here or no I didn't
3:33
fit didn't
3:35
fit my torso doesn't really go very well
3:37
in dresses either you can see there's a
3:40
coffee shop here and a tea
3:42
shop and right in this
3:45
area they have what they have T-shirts
3:47
too they have coffee t-shirts yeah I
3:49
guess so but back in the ' 80s and the
3:51
'90s I think early '90s you can actually
3:53
find some videos on YouTube of some
3:56
concerts happening right in here people
3:58
singing lots of children and adults who
4:01
had just purchased a Mecca of goodness
4:03
from these stores if I'm not mistaken
4:05
this was set up with with benches around
4:07
it I could see that and uh then it was
4:11
kind of like an you know a sunken area
4:14
for the
4:15
performances wow pretty crazy to think
4:19
how much stuff happened here they still
4:21
have a stage set up I'm sure they
4:22
probably do still do different events in
4:25
here on
4:26
occasion all right let's go this way
4:30
that's where the daycare
4:36
is yeah you can see the daycare down
4:36
there Wow Let's go this way first look
4:38
at
4:39
this look at all
4:52
these pretty
4:52
interesting whoa look at
4:55
this this is something out of Dawn of
4:58
the Dead I swear look at this this is
5:01
amazing not one store on this Wing is
5:05
actually occupied except for this the
5:07
glamour accessories which is closed
5:10
today for some reason yeah but nothing
5:13
down this way is
5:19
open just out of curiosity I wonder what
5:19
if you wanted to rent one of these I
5:21
wonder what the rent would be obviously
5:23
you could probably get a pretty good
5:25
deal you would think so trouble is rent
5:27
around Nashville area is very high
5:30
garbage you know look at this this is
5:33
awesome it's like a
5:45
castle I think it was a game store see
5:45
where it says Nords
5:49
games I don't know if it was like a
5:51
video arcade which could have
5:59
been like I saidit a minute we do have
5:59
some
6:03
upstairs walking around I think we can
6:03
actually get upstairs in fact we should
6:05
actually get a shot for the default
6:07
picture I really like this so we should
6:09
probably use that stand over
6:13
there actually let's get it this way
6:14
stay over stay there stay there stay
6:17
there stay there
6:36
let's get a photo right here we could
6:36
probably be seen in this hallway do a
6:40
fantastic
6:41
pose
6:48
awesome so hopefully that turns out that
6:48
might that might I can't say until I
6:51
actually watch it back but that might
6:52
actually be the default of this
6:55
video giving the perspective of this
6:58
empty Mall
7:07
it's quite sad really to
7:07
see such an expansive space what do you
7:10
think causes this uh unfortunately it
7:14
was basically here from what I hear from
7:17
the locals and I go by that more than
7:20
anything uh a lot of the gangs came over
7:23
here and basically just kind of ran
7:26
everybody out
7:31
look at that
7:31
shot the nether regions the nether
7:34
regions and look down there that light
7:36
is flickering out of something out of a
7:37
horror
7:39
film oh my gosh look at that waiting for
7:42
Alfred Hitchcock to show up who do you
7:45
name Alfred what you say Alfred
7:49
hitch hey got get some humor actually
7:51
you know what just let's do something
7:53
here come in here okay duck around this
7:55
corner oh I wish I brought my man duck
7:57
around this corner this way wait five
8:00
seconds and then come around the corner
8:02
and say the good
8:11
evening good evening excellent I thought
8:11
that was actually Alfred
8:15
Hitchcock we share that in
8:26
com this is pretty mind-blowing honestly
8:26
like I said I wanted to do a main
8:27
Channel video of this editing going
8:29
through here bringing the tripod setting
8:31
up a lot of the shots giving a detailed
8:32
description of all these
8:34
stores but I did not want to risk being
8:38
kicked out of here want to impede on on
8:40
new owners cuz I have seen some videos
8:41
of people that were not allowed to film
8:43
in here so we might actually get stopped
8:46
and if we are approached I have no
8:47
problem turning the camera off but right
8:49
now I'm not seeing any security guards
8:52
there's no M cops here none you think
8:55
this might have been some sort of a
8:56
record store uh
9:00
maybe maybe not I I don't remember see
9:03
here there is an actual open store yeah
9:06
but this is way down I don't think
9:08
that's an open store I think that's an
9:09
office it's an office well we'll find
9:12
out in a minute here what to
9:14
say Plumbing Solutions yes it is an
9:18
office how many plumbing supply plac so
9:20
it isn't right how many exactly what you
9:22
were saying how many plumbing supply
9:23
places are in Lost they probably got a
9:25
good deal yeah that's why they leave
9:27
this closed it's not a public and
9:29
there's tons of storage behind for all
9:31
whatever they so actually if you're
9:33
looking for a good deal you should
9:34
actually look up who owns this m see how
9:37
much the prices are you can probably get
9:39
some good storage space or a good office
9:53
space now I do understand from what I
9:53
read last night they are supposed to be
9:55
getting or they're trying to get some
9:58
big anchor stores back in in here again
10:00
when you say anchor stores describe what
10:03
those would be I'm talking like pennies
10:05
or Sears there is a Sears in here as
10:08
well but I think they left it's closed
10:09
it is closed it's closed yeah went back
10:12
there and now
10:15
it's that was the only thing I ever
10:17
really came down here look at
10:19
this look at
10:22
this pretty mad
10:24
huh there's a store over here that's
10:27
selling some shirts and clubes but other
10:29
than that I don't really see anything we
10:31
got that one little one over y with the
10:33
neon
10:34
sign let's walk over
10:48
there room under
10:48
construction something going on in
10:57
there oh you can see us looking in the
10:57
window back there
11:30
open look at this the back side of the
11:30
display case probably had diamonds Jew
11:34
this was a Zs I think it was a zal and
11:36
they would have put the jewelry up here
11:38
on
11:39
these memory serves
11:42
correctly but it almost looks like
11:45
somebody to get in somebody was looking
11:48
for the diamonds or the gold or the
11:51
silver which is more valuable gold or
11:54
silver these days gold gold still very
11:57
like valuable
12:00
our apologies this is not an entrance
12:04
that is not an entrance you're not
12:06
allowed to walk in
12:07
there there is a number here though oh
12:10
there chap okay Powerhouse
12:18
Chapel look at that food court sign that
12:18
is
12:19
awesome that's like something out of the
12:21
70s or 80s right there that awesome food
12:24
court sign oh and the food court is open
12:27
there is some stuff
12:29
in the food court actually open a few
12:32
things so we could actually get some
12:34
food in there oh that's where we were we
12:35
were right down there right there we
12:37
were right down there should jump back
12:39
down there and redo the photo if you
12:42
want you could scaffold down if you had
12:44
your grappling if you go I'll
12:49
watch Beauty Salon y a beauty salon here
12:53
which is still active and open here's a
12:55
jeweler which I don't know if that's
12:56
open or not no this actually is closed
12:59
look at this looks like they had their
13:00
fire sale at the 50%
13:11
off so it seems like actually on the top
13:11
floor there actually is quite a few more
13:13
businesses that are
13:15
openis up from the
13:22
bot okay there actually are more
13:22
businesses on the top floor I wonder
13:25
maybe if the rent is a little less
13:27
expensive and it was probably least
13:28
expensive anyway anyway but on the top
13:29
floor it might be a little less that's
13:31
why a lot of these stores are starting
13:33
to open these Accessory stores see the
13:36
kids down there from the daycare for the
13:45
school there's the Sears over there see
13:45
the Sears over there that's
13:59
interesting I don't know I'm not really
13:59
a huge hockey fan but that kind of looks
14:01
like one of the what do they call those
14:02
zambonis a Zamboni that is a Zamboni but
14:05
it's smaller the hockey versions are
14:07
huge so that would be a mini zambon
14:10
where I work we got a portable zambon
14:12
really yeah so there
14:14
portable and there's many zambonis right
14:17
but there's only one man manzon what do
14:21
I say now you get TI zambon zon zambon
14:25
mini pinatas yes something like that
14:28
that is very cool look at those lights
14:31
there that's awesome unfortunately that
14:32
one's in a state of disrepair at the
14:36
moment because you were saying they had
14:38
a lot of problems with gangs as you were
14:40
saying and people coming out here
14:41
destroying things probably a lot of
14:42
stealing and whatnot they do have
14:46
Security in place like I was saying at
14:48
the beginning of the Vlog you are being
14:50
watched when they say you they're
14:53
talking talking about you you right here
14:56

14:58
watching myself they're watching you
15:01
watch me they probably are watch watch
15:04
which one of these is a camera they look
15:06
like lights they are lights but they
15:08
might be a secret camera watching us is
15:12

15:15
awesome fantastic ceiling I'm not going
15:17
to lie look at this like different
15:20

15:22
lot of different metal
15:27
work we do have je St over there Let's
15:27
Take a Walk This Way let's take a look
15:29
this
15:37
way Claire's I think Claire's is more of
15:37
an accessories shop where they have you
15:39
know like Rings knickknacks jelly
15:42
bracelets those type of
15:52
things the movie Ste Magnolia you got to
15:52
accessorize
16:07
Finish Line probably some sort of a
16:07
sports accessory store
16:34
Tom I want to tell you something yes sir
16:34
are you ready I'm ready for anything
16:36
prepare to be be amazed you caught the
16:39
joke before I said it I was going to do
16:41
prare to be
16:44
amazed is the name of the store wonder
16:47
what this was
16:50
but Creations Outlet
17:01
wow look at this an IM Master's place
17:01
that's closed they still have all the
17:04
displays inside hey hey hey hey I bought
17:07
these from you guys these you bought
17:10
that actual pair how old not here not
17:13
here I bought them down in Murphy's Boro
17:14
but it was for my masters come on
17:18
guys wonder if we could return those if
17:20
you need to return them nah probably not
17:23
to this exact location no this location
17:26
is seen better days
17:34
another store over here that is actually
17:34
still open where look at
17:37
this e isn't it just to see the
17:41
abandoned counters you know it is very
17:45
here and there it is very eerie like I
17:47
was saying there's something over here
17:48
it looks like a a hairdressing place
17:50
that's actually open they actually still
17:52
has some
17:53
business
17:54
therey I should go get my
17:57
hairstyles look at this another there's
17:59
another closed up hair
18:06
salon and clearly people still get their
18:06
hair done women love to get their hair
18:08
done men love to get their hair did and
18:10
done so it's not like that industry is
18:13
dying it's just the fact my stepson Cuts
18:15
mine I've been in a really I've been
18:17
shav off I what I do I usually grow my
18:19
hair out I shave it about every four
18:21
months I'm about I have not paid for a
18:22
haircut in probably a decade same here
18:25
going back to the subject we're talking
18:27
about with the mall it's interesting
18:28
because people always say the economy is
18:30
hurting yes you know areas are hurting
18:32
malls are hurting however I've been a
18:34
lot of places all over the country and
18:36
there are certain areas that you would
18:37
not expect for a mall like this to be
18:39
thriving popular so why would a mall
18:42
like this I'm asking you would a mall
18:45
like this be empty desolate only a few
18:49
stores open hopefully back on the
18:51
upswing hopefully one day we'll be
18:53
thriving again I mean I would love to
18:55
see it stay I would too it's amaz
18:57
because all the jobs that it would
18:58
create
18:59
for people and we have a lot of people a
19:00
lot of work around here and uh I would
19:03
really like to see it what would the
19:05
solution be to pack a mall full of
19:07
people people are spending money one
19:09
thing I've learned no matter how broke
19:11
someone is people will spend money on
19:14
what they want to spend money on right
19:16
right so there's money to be spent why
19:19
is a mall like this dying that's the
19:22
question I'm asking you Tom's asking you
19:25
Dr Falcon ask do you have is it like a
19:27
Dr Jackal Mr High thing at one moment
19:29
are you Tom and then another time do you
19:32
like transcend into Dr Falcon yeah I
19:36
think when I'm doing one of my little
19:38
YouTube videos you should give yourself
19:40
a plug well there's not much there
19:42
people can figure out they'll figure out
19:43
they'll figure out they figure it out
19:45
they'll figure out who you are don't
19:47
tell anybody who Dr Falcon really is
19:50
look at this
19:52
right and the mystery man this I think
19:55
was the SE upstairs of the SE the
19:57
upstairs of
20:06
build
20:07
weage is dy noted oh look at these
20:11
lights that's awesome now this Withers
20:14
oh Dillers Dillers so there you have
20:17
that's where the sign would have been
20:19
all right we going to end this Vlog now
20:21
going to end it with
20:22
this this is absolutely amazing and
20:26
awesome glad I got to walk around and
20:28
show show you guys this if you're ever
20:29
in this area oh you know what pick that
20:32
up no pick that up pick it up leave that
20:34
here's some
20:35

20:47

20:47
Falcon some Adam the woo stickers
20:50

20:57
more all right it's under the mini vase
20:57
it's under this object object what is
20:59
that called I just call it a Ming vase
21:00
it's under this black Ming vase as he
21:03
likes to call it on the top floor next
21:06
to that salon next to the IM Masters in
21:09
front of the old Dillards in front of
21:11
the old upstairs Dillards at the top of
21:14
these non-working
21:15
escalators so watch this there's an
21:18
elevator that comes up here somewhere
21:20
right where exactly we're in Antioch
21:22
right we're in Antioch on Bell Road Bell
21:24
Road look up the mall it's called the
21:26
global village mall now used to be
21:29
called what Hickory Hollow Hickory H
21:31
Hickory Hollow Mall you can get the
21:32
stickers they're right underneath there
21:34
I left four or five take one and leave
21:37
some for someone else if you're in the
21:39
Nashville area cruise down about 15
21:41
miles south of there to this mall get
21:44
yourself some stickers if you feel like
21:45
it walk around the mall experience the
21:49
Ambiance and the straight up awkward
21:52
wackiness of being here virtually by
