This is the abandoned Medley Center Mall in Irondequoit, New York. The 1 million square-foot mall opened in 1990 to much fanfare, but its popularity soon dwindled. It shut its doors in 2009 and has sat in decay ever since. Today, we're going inside to see what remains... This video is sponsored by Squarespace.

I think it's right here. Let's go check it out. I wish they really had some pretzels here. Yeah... I wonder how the birds come and go. Probably through a broken pane of glass up there. "Sheer Madness," how punny. It's a safe in the ground. There's a dead bird in it. Jeez. Man, if we could get this neon on... Too bad there's no power. I guess it's good there's no power in this section so that we don't have to worry about alarms or cameras. [JAZZ MUSIC] Do you wanna go upstairs? The windows are all open there so you have to be careful. Ooh it's hot up here. This was the food court. *sound of car engine* There's a car out front so you have to be careful... They're just parked in one of the spots though. I don't know why I'm whispering, really. I don't think anyone can hear us in here. Do you want to go to the left? I kinda want to go closer to the merry-go-round, but not while that car is right there. Let's just sneak, we can probably go a back way -- through the stores... It's kind of moldy back here. Should I see where this goes? This goes to another store. There's not much left in here, but the atmosphere, it's pretty cool. This the camera store or something? Hallmark. That guard is still there. Do you wanna just run by? I don't know. It's facing the other way. Let's just go by quickly or you go down these stairs. Stairs, okay. We'll see the first floor first. Camera store... Oh man, all these neon signs are so cool. The carpet left in here makes this freakishly quiet. You could hear a pin drop in here. Are those hangers? Or is that a Christmas...? No, it's hangers, yeah. It's a lot of hangers. Oh wow, I'll get this out here... Oh my god this mall is amazing. It's huge! Where...? Oh, the elevator car. I thought you meant we were visible from a car outside. No, I thought so. I thought you meant a car's right there. These were taken inside the mall. That's on the carousel. This was a "Bonton"... Do you think those are lights, or do you think it's a skylight? I think those are either... ... lights, or a skylight with a tinted window. 'Cause that's not the sunlight color. It could just be changing color from the color of the walls, maybe. We'll find out in a second. I know -- reception desk. I know there was another anchor with power, remember? I remember seeing fluorescent. It's looking like a skylight. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's a little tinted orange. Oh shit, what is that? A motion sensor. Did you set it off? I don't know. Guess we won't be going in Sears. What was this? Looks cool. There's a screen in there. Let's go in. I don't know what this was. Nothing left, just these interesting looking... here, there's a sign right here. Oh, the Disney Store. That's what this is... yeah. It's an old-looking Disney store. Very old. Nothing left of Disney. Yeah, no Mickey Mouse signs or anything. They did not want their precious intellectual property being associated with such a delightful place as this. Oh, look at the trails we're leaving. It's so dusty in here. Don't these footprints kind of look like a guy in a business attire? I think this is a leaked design for the next iPhone or something. Obviously it's the new Sony... Sony entering the smartphone... This is like a home theater store That's an old sprint logo This is an old RadioShack this is this cool Yeah, look the Sprint store That RadioShack Station it's obvious obvious rebuff of PlayStation There are some neon tubes, but nothing else No office security office should we go there that's a liar for a camera? Goes up into the ceiling there For a camera I Think we're okay, yeah Yeah, sure, let's see we can find the office We should definitely try and see where that wire oh Shit there's some stuff actually here's where all the cameras went into Easier all the cameras and here's the controller for them one of those no cameras you can move Over shit, holy shit, that's a lot of keys They're labeled - Can't imagine why they need so many keys for a mall every single stores in here When each store take care of their own keys or? Security has it anyway. Yep, too. Funky in here that way just in case yeah, you can see there's a directory on the front These ones a sergeant on them Whatever, that's anything special. I don't know anything about keys Yeah, I really want to go to the carousel oh if you ever go down here Oh that just goes to the store I Think we want it on the first floor Actually, I don't think we ever went in here Let's see if we can read what's left of the sign? Dillard's, I think that's what it says Not much in here just an empty room After this video was filmed plans were announced to convert them all into a community center in office space The mall may soon see a new life, but only time will tell We just launched our new shop website where you can purchase high quality prints of a selection of our photos We created this website in just a few hours with Squarespace is extremely easy to use website builder and shop module Squarespace is a convenient all-in-one platform for creating any kind of website They have tons of great templates that are fully responsive So they adapt your content to fit any device sign up using the link squarespace.com Slash proper people for a 14-day free trial and 10% off your first purchase
