THE REAL TOURS: Cressona Mall

This is the 20th tour of our series, THE REAL TOURS, in which we provide an in the moment glimpse into a place with off-the-cuff commentary completely intact! No research, no script, just RRR letting you in on their insights and observations walking the malls.

The Cressona Mall in Pottsville, PA is a tale of an already demalled mall. It used to be bigger, with most of its sustainable tenants being solely outward-facing now. The remnants of the interior mall are rather sad now, with few tenants left besides Goodwill, and little attention paid to the hallway it seems, besides removing the foliage, which was a bad move in my opinion. The new owners seem to care, with the repaving of the parking lot as proof, but I don't think the interior hallway is going to last much longer.

Here's a shoutout to the classic SkyCity blog's coverage of this mall:
