  • Thank you for posting this, I felt like I went back in time. It was so much more enjoyable to shop on Route 9 back then in general. It was simpler and more civil. The old shoppers world had a nice calming effect with its open air design.

  • @ashland1977 Yeah, the new one is all about driving from one end to the other.

    It's interesting how the more manageable open-air mall has made a comeback in the past few years (ex. Wrentham Outlets or Legacy Place in Dedham, which I think still has too much car-focus, but not as much as the new SW).

  • WOW this sure brought back lots of memories!! Thank you so much for making this video!!

  • OH MY GOD!! I REMEMBER THIS!!! I was born in '85 & I recall, Santa Pictures, & I remember there being people inside the old Natick mall yelling things, the Rebuild of it was finished in like 1994, & then they put in a MASSIVE expansion which was finished in 2007 & the expansion itself, not including ANY of the Natick mall that was already there, IS BIGGER THEN THE MALL WAS...

  • i remember my parents taking me & my bro to Shopper's World

    back in the 80s, i was little but i still remember having fun there

    & having my picture taken w/Santa, i miss it, it so sad to see it go!!

    Thanks for posting!!

  • Thanks for this. All I can think is that developers would see all that open courtyard area as wasted space now where they couldn't turn a profit. I remember hangin' out at Shoppers World when I was a teen. Hickory Farms, Winsor Button, all of it. I had forgotten about Herman's! And what was with that white dome over Jordan Marsh?

  • That would've been a cool mall to still have today. Now people don't take pride in their work like how they made the old shoppers' world. Stupid investing has now taken over, only for the profit of retail, like the people that planned the present design.... uugghh, SICK BASTARDS!!!

  • I worked there. It was a great mall!!!!!

  • Thanks for the video I used to walk there with my friends in the teen years always people to hang with. used to shop with my mother and Grandmother at Jordan Marsh. Those were the best years.

  • Thank you for the video, I miss that place.

  • The new Shoppers World is not very atractive at all. I miss the old perfume fountain from the mid 50s.

  • Wasn't that clock at 1:18 later transferred to the Natick Mall?
