Dead Mall Tour - Colonial Park Mall - Harrisburg, PA

Here's a mall I saw on TV when I was a little kid! When I was three, my mom recorded some VHS tapes of my favorite PBS show, Reading Rainbow. During that summer, WITF-TV Harrisburg had a special event called Book Tour 2001, which was held at multiple malls in the Susquehanna Valley. I didn't go, but I have the commercials for them on my Reading Rainbow tapes. They were filmed at the Colonial Park Mall, which I eventually got to visit in 2007 when I was nine! I went back recently, and it's sadly hanging by a thread. I included the Book Tour ads in this video (three different versions I edited into one) to show you what the mall looked like when it was thriving. Enjoy!
