How about one last trip around the Schuylkill Mall?

Below is a video we have been working on since the summer.

The Schuylkill Mall properties were purchased earlier in 2017 by Northpoint Development and it was later announced that the mall would be torn down to create two warehouses.

In the summertime, we took the drone video below and the photos included were submitted by our readers.
