I They opened in 1968. Their anchors are JC Penney, um, Dunham Sports, and Ross. And still, it sort of looks like just a plaza to me. Uh, kind of weird looking place. I mean, more normal than the dorm mall. I'll give it that. Yeah. So, let's go walk around and see if we can find it. All right. Let's see what is going on here. I saw that J C Penney driving up. And the building is badly updated looking. I've never seen a C. C. Penney look like that before. What? >> Wow. >> Already I see a crap ton of vacancies here. Whoa, this actually looks cool as heck. Look at this sign. Very dark. Oh, there's a theater. There's the Dunhams. That Joanne is closed. The JC Penney. Where's the Ross? Maybe that's the Ross. So, we have that Kazmal open, but when you first walk in, you really just see a lot of emptiness. It almost reminds me of um Midway Mall in Yria, doesn't it? The way you're hit with the emptiness like the second you walk in. >> Yeah. Do I hear a water ball? A water fountain. >> It sounds like it. This floor. This is cool though. >> There is a fountain. Whoa. Dang. Wait, this this fountain looks like Cascade Galleras. This is cool as heck. Yeah. Very weird looking on the outside, very cool on the inside. Oh my gosh, look how clear and blue. You just want to jump in. This is the kind of thing as a kid that I would be walking in. I mean, yeah, I'd probably try to walk in there if I was younger. Dang. There's Planet Fitness. Look at this car in here. >> Official pace car, huh? Um, these are fake. Look at that red velvet seating. I love the way it's sunken in. Oh my gosh, how old is this? This has to have been here from the original mall. This is so cool. This place has not been updated in a very long time, if ever. Very, very weird to me. Just because of where I'm from, places get demolished, updated. I mean, here we have a J C Penney open. I mean, this place is obviously very dead, but they have three anchors that are living. Kind of strange. You would sort of expect a place like this to not really have anchors. This is very cool. I love this. Check out this kiosk. Oh, look. An art gallery. Not bad. Oh, a bath and body. That's a nice bath and body. Look at this storefront. What was this? Okay. Goodwill closed off. Weird. I believe this denims might also be closed off to the uh mall. But check out these old machines. There's a junk food squish. The denims is closed off. The nail place is open. >> Here we have these stone um I guess design elements. They kind of look like lighouses. They're playing old music in here, which is pretty neat. Here is a very dark wing with hardly any lights. Is this cinema open? No, it's not. Wow. Look at that. Look at this. Is so dark here. This is This is bizarre. Look at that. Can we see in? >> Oh, yeah. I wonder when that closed. Wow. Now, will they let me back in? Here is this exit over here. This is really, really strange. And you're greeted with that there. It's been busted out. What do you guys think of the Courtland Center? This place to me is very, very cool. Definitely very different. I'm glad that these places, some of these places are still around for us to see. I don't think this has been updated ever. And look, you have this classic brick wall here that's very indicative of a lot of the ' 60s malls. >> Look at this. This is one of those um it's supposed to look like one of those needle um things where you press your hand and needles come forward. That's very cool. What is that made from? It looks like maybe wooden uh pegs or something. Let's look at the JC Petty W. Look at the way these windows let in the gray skies. There he is. Wow. So, this is a pretty small place. The plants are fake. I mean, they do look nice, though. See, you can enter the Planet Fitness from here or the pennies. Or maybe the pennies um is open sometimes uh through the mall, but maybe it's just closed now cuz it's like what, like 5. There's Magus Pet Outlet. I like pets. They won't open any entrances into here. place to shop. Really, is it though? There's not a lot in here. There's a Bath and Body, a Goodwill with no mall entrance, a Denims with no mall entrance. They say there's a Ross, but that's not even that's like on the outside of it. Um, a Penny's with no mall entrance. Unless maybe it seems like the Penny's maybe is open during the day and they just closed it. So, I really don't know if this is the place to shop, but it is the place to take a video at. Now, this floor, that's newer. Uh the drywall here or whatever this is that's also newer. Um but this is the only signs I see of it being. So I see they took the time to update the part that's by the J C Penney. Other than that, this place is a blast from the past. >> Good sign. All right, and that will complete my look at the Courtland Center Mall. >> Here in Flint. Very surprising in there. Um, the architecture was gorgeous. The fountain was phenomenal. I'm just glad that they left it the way it is supposed to be. And I mean, it looks pretty good. um maintenance wise. So yeah, >> a man named Quack and she's like quack soul.
