A sad example of a formerly vibrant mall becoming a vacant "ghost" mall in San Bernardino. Less than one dozen stores were operating when this was filmed. Built almost 40 years ago in 1972 as the Central City Mall, it eventually became the Carousel Mall after several decades. A rise in gang activity and undesirables in the mall gradually discouraged shoppers from patronizing this mall. Critical anchor department stores left the mall as foot traffic dwindled. The entrances to the mall are now sealed and the once attractive carousel has been dismantled and removed.
