North Bethesda’s White Flint Mall had been teetering for years, with stores gradually jumping ship. Earlier this year, the 850,000-square-foot shopping center officially closed its doors. (One last hanger-on, Lord and Taylor, remained open.)
In January 2014, the Washington Post shot some ghostly pics of the hollowed-out mall. Now, as it is being torn down to make way for a town center, it looks much, much worse.
YouTube user mike purks sent a drone equipped with a GoPro on an elicit recon mission inside the erstwhile shopping center and posted the footage online. “Americas malls are dying,” he wrote in the video’s description. White Flint Mall, he added, has been “gutted.”
