The Johnstown Galleria is a magnificent looking but sadly dead mall. It's easy to find, being…read morealmost directly off of US-219. The ring road as of my visit is in poor condition, but repairs were occurring in several areas. Lots of parking, but watch for potholes. This mall is two stories and was built by Zamias, so internally it looks magnificent. It's very much a 1990's mall with its coloring and design, but that only helps it. Mall only has two occupied anchors, Boscov's and JCPenney. The former Bon-Ton and Sears remain vacant. Unfortunately, the interior is largely vacant with many empty storefronts, including several occupied ones not being open. Other problems included all four escalators being shut off, and the mall in general feeling dark. Rare Collectibles was probably the most interesting store I found, having various comic books and retro toys. One positive included the food court being almost full, along with other full-service restaurants being available as dining options. The Johnstown Galleria's new owner has a tough battle ahead to save this mall, and I don't know if he will succeed despite this mall looking so magnificent. I wish him luck.

I wanted to get this updated review in now before it slipped my mind. I fear that The Galleria is…read moreon its last leg. The mall has dwindle more since my review five years ago. So much so that it is nearly pointless to venture past center court as most of the storefronts past here remain empty or have become empty. With this holiday season upon us it will be the last that we see some tenants in the mall. Three stores that have been tenants since the mall opened in 1992. The mall will say goodbye to Spencer's, Bath & Body Works, and American Eagle Outfitters. All three tenants are said to vacate and relocate to Richland Towne Center. As ironic as it is, these stores are venture back to the site that was vacated, tore down, and rebuilt because of The Galleria's opening. Richland Mall got the last laugh it appears in the end. Zamias, the original owner and builder of the mall, has even vacated the many storefronts it once occupied within the mall. With some creative handling this could once again be a vibrant mall in a sense. It may not be your typical mall, but this could still be a destination for people if they want it to be. The outer portion of the property seems to still be thriving as the outparcel lots seem to be able to adapt for the needs of the area. Some restaurants have closed, but they have been quickly replaced in whole or with a remodel. It is nice to see that, but it does not fix the interior of the property. I do still stop by every so often to pick up an item when need be, saving me a trip to other areas. What is sad is that some of the areas that have been closed for some time are starting to show deterioration. The old Bon Ton spot is most notable where there is parts of the façade that is falling off the building. Only time will tell if and when this will be a totally dead mall or if this will be saved. Here's to hoping, but like I said, only time will tell.

Do you like flea markets? Then this place is for you. Housed in what was once the Value City…read moredepartment store (lovely reuse of the signs outside), you are certainly in store for an interesting shopping experience. This place is odd to say the least...but not odd in a bad way. If it's possible to have a cubicle design set up for shopping, that's what I would call this. It takes time to view the merchandise in here, so don't expect to come in and make a quick five minute stop to find what you want. Antiques to collectibles, books to guitars, furniture to picture frames. Each 'cubicle' is ran (owned?) by a different merchant. Tags identify which 'cubicle' you have picked up your item from. Not every 'cubicle' is of flea market type design. There are some businesses in here. A framing business, guitar business and I believe a salon all take up shop in here. (There once was a restaurant type deal set up in there too). Come and see what you probably wouldn't expect to be in a building. It's quite interesting and can be quite time consuming. Enjoy yourself.

However, if you are looking for a specific item, and it has to be that item, don't expect to find it here. Best to come here on one of your off days so you can just browse a little more. That's what this store is good for: browsing. Once you start browsing I'm quite sure that you will end up with a cart full of items that you don't necessarily need, but obviously wanted.

I have to say that even though there are more stores leaving the mall in Johnstown, this is a nice…read morespot to stop in when you do come to the mall. That is if you like to look through products to find what you might need. As the name of this business is called, Rare Collectibles, this is like an antique store for every single collectible item you can think of. It can take a few times to go over this place with ease. There are so many items to look at that you will most definitely have missed an item on a prior visit. There are aisles, cases, and displays everywhere, all filed in no particular order. Take your time while here. There is no rush to make it through this store. There are a lot of local items here as well, so if you are looking for a local themed item, definitely come here.

You see, I occasionally make calls to see if they changed their minds on their Baseball card policy (they only accept cards from the 1960s or earlier) but they haven't and won't anytime soon, fine, understandable. But then I thought of selling these Power Rangers trading cards, they don't accept those either, OK, that's cool. But here's the real kicker, I called them to see if they can take old video games, specifically ones for the Sega Genesis, and someone, I don't know if it was the owner or an employee, but someone on the phone "yes", so I go up there and I didn't have any high expectations or anything, I wasn't expecting a million dollars but I was expecting something, I go in, and he tells me, they don't take Genesis games. What. The. Hell. How do you just go back on your word like that? I don't know a lot about business, but with stores like this, I think your supposed to keep your word on these kind a things, not just change your mind out of left field. So yeah, after this experience, I can safely say I'm done with this store. And I hope this makes all of you change your mind about it too.
