Walking International Plaza & Bay Street Tampa 🇺🇸 | Crowded Upscale Mall Walk + Unexpected Exit

Join me on a 4K HDR walking tour of International Plaza & Bay Street in Tampa, Florida — one of the area’s most beautiful and upscale shopping destinations.

During this walk, the mall was busy, lively, and crowded, yet the shoppers gave off a very friendly, relaxed, and down-to-earth vibe. People didn’t seem rushed, rude, or stuck up — which honestly felt refreshing and very unusual in today’s world. The overall atmosphere felt welcoming and positive.

I was able to walk approximately 75% of the second level, see Santa, and experience the mall decorated for the season before I was asked to leave the property by security.

I respectfully informed security more than once that Simon Property Group’s policy allows non-commercial video recording, and that:

I do not earn money from recording

I use a cell phone, not professional equipment

I do not zoom in on individuals

I do not record sensitive areas or infrastructure

I do not enter or film inside stores

I do not speak while recording

I wear a shirt clearly identifying this YouTube channel

I simply walk the mall — much like a mall walker getting exercise — which is exactly what I’m doing for my health. I do not hide the fact that I’m recording, and I never bother anyone.

Once I was asked to leave, I immediately complied and exited the mall through the same entrance I came in. I’m not there to cause problems or create conflict — just an older guy walking places that are interesting, open to the public, and good for my health.

While exiting, I briefly encountered a couple of interesting ladies and had a short, friendly moment of conversation before continuing on, explaining that I needed to keep moving since I was asked to leave.

I was also asked to stop recording, which I did not do, but I continued exiting without delay.

Despite the early ending, International Plaza & Bay Street came across as a very attractive, well-loved, upscale, and busy mall with a strong following and a great overall vibe.

Until next time — cheers! 🚶‍♂️
