Metcalf South Memories

This video is devoted to anyone past and present who grew up in the Metcalf south area of Overlanad Park, KS. There are a lot of great memories from the area, this mall is unique as it is a dead mall but still kept very clean and is still in a good neighborhood. The layout is different then most, and theres all sorts of tucked away areas in this mall. People remember the whole area around Metcalf South, not just the mall itself. Its still a popular area but in a different way now. The mall itself holds most of the features it did in the 60s and 70s, I dont think they ever changed the decor which makes this mall pretty cool to walk through, you can generally walk through the empty mall on any given day and see maybe 2 or 3 people. Kinda Eerie, ENJOY!
