The District: Mall Fountains & Beer | Retail Archaeology

They also have a Twin peaks there! It's a fun mall especially at night in the summer.

Buckcherry at a shopping mall. 😂😂😂😂

Nice comparison on the Movie Channel logo. I haven't thought about that in quite some time.

What a nice big mall. Looks like all the malls here in SoCal. Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego is nice too. A nice 2 story outdoor mall.

What a fantastic mall! I loved every second of this.

could you please check out The Shops at Palm Desert in Palm Desert, CA

I had to look to see if there were 99 cent only stores in Tempe. Apparently they are closing all their stores. Their produce usually had fruit flies.

Where are you?! Missing your new vids!

Is second channel dead? No new uploads

I love that the last line of your video is 'elon can suck it.' if i had money i would super thanks you for that. ❤

i love powerman 5000!!!

Once the Penzey spice store left we haven't had much of a reason to go there.

great video as always. i liked the old intro better.

DISCO HORSE

This video has so much that I would have missed if I hadn't seen the Twitter post with the link. I really love Fountain Cam! Stroll and Sip is a great concept and the quick Segway into the old Wilford Brimley "Diabeetus" commercial. Ol' Mr. Brimley would have gotten high blood sugar just looking at the candy store. I would have bought several packs of the candy cigarettes and a I Love to Fart mug. I just may have to watch it again. 😀 👍

Please do go back at night. I’d love to see what this place looks like with all the lights on.

I'm usually not a fan of outdoor malls at all, but that place looks awesome... Especially the gulp n stroll.... er... well, you know. ;)

Tempe Marketplace is definitely the nicest outdoor mall in the phoenix area. I attended a few concerts here but the audio is pretty bad overall. I Went to superstition springs mall today and a bunch of stores are now closed including the large RC hobby shop a few food court shops that were open just a few months ago.

I love your content man, got me addicted to urban exploration and abandoned American buildings.

Who is the old guy that appears on the door after the sugar daddy comment? Love the video

This is my favourite channel on yt.

Been there several times but i had no idea there was a mall. Mind blown.

Looks like Wrentham Outlets in MA if people still gave a shit.

At the end there I thought he was gonna cut to that gopro great white footage when he put the camera underwater

Hold the phone, there's a pirate escape room there?

I'm noticing a lot of malls starting to come back to life in my area, especially the two outdoor malls that look exactly like this one. I not only credit it to the new trend of beautifully decorating the exteriors with plants and water features, but I also feel the waning quality of online shopping is giving brick and mortar credibility again. Man, online shopping last Christmas was ROUGH, I'm looking forward to a nice Christmas sip 'n' stroll finding charming puzzles and toys for the kids.

We have an outdoor outlet mall here in Houston .. it’s brutal in the summer.. I used to live in AZ .. this mall would be horrible to walk around in July when it’s 115 outside.

We love Tempe Marketplace. We go there every month or two. The Greek Restaurant is delicious if you enjoy Greek.

I agree about the outdoor style malls in SoCal, this place looks rad as well. Keep up the solid work.

Dude! I lived in Tempe for five years and had completely forgotten about Tempe Marketplace.

I used to ride my motorcycle down there and eat at the Yogi’s Grill there all the time. I remember one January (I think it was 2017?) when we got all that rain and it turned the desert green. I went down to Tempe Marketplace while it was raining and sat next to that fireplace one morning and did a lot of writing.

I’ve got a lot of good memories of Tempe Marketplace. Thanks for reminding me of the good times.

LOVE Tempe Marketplace ! I am in South Scottsdale so I go down there quite a bit. They have a Great Variety of shopping down there. The Wilford Brimley ghost in the Sugar Shop made me Giggle ! Great job on this, I enjoyed viewing it ! 😊

Di-a-bee-tus!

I am glad you had a nice time at the mall!

I lived down the street from Tempe Marketplace for a couple of years. It’s really nice, but the outdoor mall concept just doesn’t work in the Phoenix Metro area. Maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up there, but when it’s 120 degrees out I really don’t feel like doing any strolling.

They let kids play in that jet fountain that you see in the end of the video, so that’s cool. They do what they can to help you beat the heat, but you really only want to go there at the end of the day.

I went on a date here back in 2018, he broke my heart lol

Definitely a place i would love to visit. I’d spend a day there.

Looks like a really nice place. 6pm closing? That's a first! I would have thought at least 8pm. All of those water features are a rarity today - enjoy them! My only critique would be that, as you said toward the beginning, it feels like California. If I were a tourist coming to AZ to shop I'd be disappointed that this marketplace looks exactly like what I find at home in Southern CA. I would immediately think about all those plants and how they're going to survive in Summer. I guess they have it figured out but it would be nice if they didn't just lift & shift a CA design and plop it down in AZ.

The Mall Was Beautiful!! Much Like Our Malls In San Diego🌴I Would Love To See You Go There During The Holidays. Thanks!! 🌈

That outro was amazing 😂

This video was super interesting to see! I've never seen a Tempe Marketplace before but as a Colorado resident I'm pretty sure we don't have one. We do have a few outdoor malls/shopping strips though. We also have the Park Meadows Mall which is very surprisingly always busy! I loved seeing the palm trees lol, I've never been to LA/California so it was a nice little bonus even though you can see them on so many videos if you just look it up.

I subbed a little while ago and love watching these videos. I can't wait to see more!

I love this mall setup, its just unfortunate that its just pretending to be a shoppable neighborhood. America just went down the wrong "road" and made the suburban parking lot hellscape that makes it ugly and unsustainable.

I'd love to see this mall at night.

That place is so busy during the week. Even Friday and Saturday nights it's still pretty busy.

My favorite outdoor mall still is waterside shops in Naples, Florida. Even though they stupidly redesigned it and it is not as nice as it once was, it is still really nice. They opened it up more and made it easier to get over the water. Features is what they did and added a parking garage. The first time I went there after it was renovated I got lost.

Fountain cam is relaxing.

i read As You Wish and thought of The Princess Bride lol

For something totally at the other end of the scale you should do a story on the Mesa Outdoor market and get a $4.00 breakfast

the jumping fountain screams 2000's vibes

I like Tempe marketplace. There was this one time during 2020 COVID quarantine period I was there hanging out on my day off in the middle of the week and it was kinda warm out for May, this random dog was off his owner's leash, jumped into one of the water fountains near Barnes and Nobles and was juat happily splashing around.

I wonder how many people think you’re homeless when they see you dip your hand/camera in the fountains.
