Exploring The Abandoned Westland Mall (Columbus, OH)

We've wanted to explore a mall for so long and we were finally able to. We had a crazy time getting in considering the parking lot is used to hold events and people drive through the back parking lot to cut through traffic. But despite all that, we got in and it was well worth it.

Westland mall was opened in 1969 as an open concept mall and closed off in 1983. It contained 40 storefronts which held a number of different stores throughout its life. It closed in 2012 after surviving for a number of years with barely any stores. However the connected Sears didn't close until 2017.
The parking lot is still used to hold events and the Sears building was used to host G*n shows until someone was shot and k*lled in 2020
