I have always loved this vid, one of my favorite abandoned places videos...not sure why maybe its the idea of riding a bike in a mall lol.
"The gigantic Rolling Acres Mall has been shut down for about 4 years now. My dad does some demo/reconstruction work and he was offered anything he wanted inside the mall by the Demo company. I had the opportunity to ride my bike through the inside with my Camcorder. I didn't get any footage of the lower level. I was down there, but I couldn't take the bike. This once gorgeous late '70s mall has seen better days. Leaky roof has been the main source of problems. Also, thieves have stolen all the copper wiring so there is no possible way for the mall to be lit unless it was completely re-wired. Kinda creepy, with an eerie breeze throughout the whole place. Another freaky thing is that all the plants on the lower level are totally green. They are not fake. Totally healthy but overgrown. I think the roof is so leaky, the plants survive. Sears and JCpenny dpt. stores are still operating. I have no idea what's going to happen to the mall."
