Dead Mall: McKinley Mall - Blasdell, NY

Dead Mall: McKinley Mall - Blasdell, NY. Right on the edge of the Buffalo suburbs of Blasdell and Hamburg is this old mall whose best days are long behind her. Opening in 1985, McKinley Mall saw its peak in the 90s despite the Walden Galleria dominating the Buffalo region by being a very successful mall. Unlike Eastern Hills, Seneca, and Thruway Malls which all saw their demise as a result, McKinley hung on... That was until the mid 2000s and the recession of 2008 which began the downward spiral. With anchors closing in the late 2010s and the pandemic of 2020 causing most businesses to struggle and several mall tenants to cloae the downward spiral for McKinley accelerated to its current state now. This is how we saw it in early May 2021.
