In this video, I explore Ridgmar Mall dead mall in Fort Worth, Texas on a quiet Friday evening and reflect on its history and current state. Once a thriving shopping destination since opening in 1976 with major anchors like Dillard’s, JCPenney, Sears, and Neiman Marcus, the mall has seen a steep decline over the years. I walk through the nearly empty interior, highlight some of its striking architecture, and discuss the closure of attractions like Sequest, which shut down after animal cruelty allegations. While a few stores and local businesses remain, the mall is mostly vacant, offering a nostalgic yet somber glimpse into the decline of American malls.
