The Randall Park Mall in North Randall, Ohio was, for a brief moment, the largest mall in the world. Less than 40 years later it was in ruins. In this episode we'll cover the mall's extravagant opening, tumultuous lifespan, why it finally closed, and what it was like visiting it in the aftermath. For a shopping center, it has some pretty shocking crimes in its past, and its story is more haunting than you might think. Come join Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America for a quick primer on the life and death of a megamall, once a mighty symbol of both the dreams and nightmares of American consumerism that now is no more.

By Lexi: This mall is just a beautiful site. If I'm being totally honest I would have gladly wanted to see this in person. But only being 15 and living in a different state makes me upset because if I had been born earlier and lived in OH I would've loved the experience to see this mall in its raw beauty, with people and the stores still alive. Either way Thank you so much for taking these pictures for others who would have never knew what this was to find out the backstory to it!
