TRICOUNTY MALL: BALDWINSVILLE, NY
Pete Blackbird's Commentary:
This is Baldwinsville's attempt at an enclosed mall. It's not really
anchored, and it dosen't really have any chain stores, but it does
have a funny smell, and $1.50 second showing movies. I kinda like
the place. At one time this delapidated mall housed an Eckerd's,
but they wanted a new building, so they built a stand alone
store on the property. Also, connected to the mall is a
Sav-A-Lot grocery store, but it's not accessible through the mall.
Inside the mall is a cafe, which is pretty much in
the hall, with a mock-up picket fence denoting whether or not you are
in the cafe. Also, an antique store, used book store, and some other
weird things are in there. This mall is small and run down, but I don't
think it's going anywhere. It caters to old folks, and people who want to
see a movie, but won't pay Hoyts prices. I like the spot, but I haven't
been there since 1999, hopefully it's still standing. Baldwinsville is
kind-of a trippy little town anyway, if you're gonna visit, take a
ride around "Raddison". Feels a little like big brother is watching you
in there.

User submitted Mar 2010This is an update on Tricounty Mall in Baldwinsville, NY. It was so dead and they closed up the interior in late 2000s. Only store was remaining at the time was a dollar store. I believe it was Family Dollar. It did not last, however. The owner of this mall was the same owner of Cole Muffler car repair store chain. Well, he sold the mall to a developer who said he would tear it down and build a new strip. However, it has been half demolished and other half still standing. I believe there was an issue regarding to this. Perhaps the abestos or something. I did not hear anything in the news on that part. I still can see it is still half torn down and a long yellow tape wrapping around the property. Only standing is a Rite Aid store and a motel that was built in early 2000s. It sure did give that funny smell alright. It was very rustic looking mall at the time. More people opts to shop at a plaza where P&C (as time of writing, it is slowly becoming TOPS grocer
y store).
