Look Inside The Abandoned Younkers In The Meridian Mall
If you grew up in the Lansing area, this is definitely a store that resonates with many of us here in the area. The mall itself has been in the community now since 1969. That means the meridian mall has been serving Lansing residents for nearly 50 years.
The mall isn't exactly a ghost town today yet either. We all know that malls are unfortunately a dying breed. This one still appears to be thriving.

Today, the store itself has 125 stores inside the building. Six of which are anchor stores, with one vacant anchor store.

It's sad to see this place sit now, however, it does get to open its doors every Halloween time when the Spirit of Halloween takes over this space.
