10/10 I’d eat lunch here. Euclid Square Mall, OH (demolished) see my full video on this legendary lost mall here: youtube.com/sal #abandoned #ruins #deadmall

In my haste to get this piece framed and hung, I foolishly put tape right on the glass. Amateur move. I’ve since rectified this with a proper mount to the back plate. Much better now.

If you’re local, your attendance is mandatory. If you’re remote, make plans to attend. I can confirm first hand that the work Jon captures and creates is out of this world. I’m proud to hang his art in my home, make sure to pick something up from his shop.

Packed up a couple shipments to send off today. Writing to my fans on the photos the buy, and carefully packing and melting the wax to seal the envelopes is so peaceful to me. My current photo stock is dwindling, so make sure to grab something while it lasts here: www.salvatoreamadeo.com/merch

Opening season Concert Gauntlet completed. ExLog 138 tonight at 8pm Eastern! Started production on my Halloween episode today, so get stoked for that as well!! See you all there! youtube.com/sal

Picked up Alfred Taubman’s autobiography in light of my ExLog 138 on his Fair Oaks Mall. I can’t wait to dig into this book, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that he inscribed my copy with an autograph and a doodle! ExLog 138 on Fair Oaks Mall, tomorrow at 8pm Eastern here: youtube.com/sal

An array of signs I saw this evening driving through DC to a rehearsal. How tf did we wind up in this awful timeline?

ExLog 138 this Sunday (12 Oct) at 8pm Eastern! Fair Oaks Mall, VA and a disastrous side quest to three mini malls (Fair City Mall, VA, Huntsman Square Mallway, VA, and Langley Park Plaza in MD!!) youtube.com/sal

ExLog 138 on Fair Oaks Mall is rendering! This episode took countless hours of research, writing, revising, cutting and reshooting footage, manipulating sound and purposeful visual artifacts…I wanted this one to be something I could look back on and not regret a single frame or sound. Drops soon..

Played Beethoven 6 today, and my stand partner took a selfie capturing a rare moment of me mid-performance!! This is my Beethoven face. Finally back home finishing my next ExLog, stay tuned…

The Amsterdam Riverfront Center Mall sleeping quietly, as I photographed it in 2024. Full video eventually here: youtube.com/sal #deadmall #mall #vintage #retro

Played a concert yesterday, and on my way to a rehearsal in the morning at rush hour, asshole had the entire opposite aide of 66 closed down just so he could get to the golf course. I wish I was kidding.

Last outdoor gig of the season! Saying goodbye to Summer with a classical medley concert in Gaithersburg! Headed back into the studio tonight to finish my next ExLog, looking to premiere next weekend… youtube.com/sal

I’m sick so I’m home editing ExLog 138 on Fair Oaks Mall…but when I was putting the opening sequence together, Fall revealed itself to me. Look at the beautiful yellow in the foliage! It’s the exact moment when Summer becomes Fall. I’ll keep editing…new episode this month! #fall youtube.com/sal

It’s crazy to me that a mall making as much money as Fair Oaks does (pictured) can’t fathom repairing all the broken escalators (and a broken elevator). Sigh. Full video tour soon here: youtube.com/sal #mall #poormanagement

The third mallway I’ll be featuring in ExLog 138 is the charming Huntsman Square. This enclosed concourse serves as a vestibule for a Giant grocery store, and includes a handful of tenant stalls which are mostly vacant. My next episode drops later this month here: youtube.com/sal #mall #mallway

Stopped by Fair Oaks after rehearsal to put the mall to sleep and to tell the lonely abandoned Lord & Taylor a bedtime story. Shh…I’ll show you more of it later this month here: youtube.com/sal #mall #abandoned

Made a pit stop at Langley Park Plaza on my way to rehearsal in Baltimore. Failing here last night is not how I wanted my next episode to end. Got in and it was glorious. All footage is now in hand for ExLog 138. Later this month here: youtube.com/sal #mall #neon

Success. Today was a fantastic shoot that spanned four locations in two states. ExLog 138 ft. the Fair Oaks Mall (pictured) and three mallways will premiere later this month. It’s going to be fun and it has many disastrous moments fueled by way too much coffee. Get pumped. youtube.com/sal #mall

Going out to film 4 spots for my next ExLog, which is the finale in the VA Home Mall DC Metro tour. I was busy yesterday and I’ve got shit going on at my house until 3, so since it’s Sunday that just means we're doing an any% warpless no reset run across two states and I have 4 hours to get it done.

In my latest video on Manassas, what the hell did I say that’s “political” or some sort of divisive opinion?? I thought the script was pretty tame on that front..

The deep turquoise at Uniontown Mall really is one of the most striking aesthetic features I’ve ever seen at any mall I’ve documented. I took this picture in 2021, and you can see my full video tour here: youtube.com/sal #mall #deadmall

The cursed liminal space game room at Lycoming Mall as I photographed it back in 2022. Lycoming is among the malls in my Rt. 80 Tour which will kick off Phase ix this coming January! The episode will eventually premiere here: youtube.com/sal #exlog #salguido #deadmall #liminalspace

Thank you all for coming out to the Manassas Mall ExLog premiere! I appreciate the warm reception!! If you’re interested in watching, you can watch here: youtube.com/sal

ExLog 137 premieres tonight at 9pm here: youtube.com/sal Over the last 20 years malls have been slowly transforming into an aesthetic language resembling doctors offices, but sometimes they do it with class and character. Manassas Mall did this, AND we get to ride high speed go-karts in the mall!

ExLog 137 is rendering! This episode covers the misunderstood yet consistently reinvented Manassas Mall in Bull Run, VA, and it comes in at exactly 40 minutes in length. I’ll be premiering on Sunday with a few of my friends, so I hope you all come hang out in the live chat! youtube.com/sal

Jon is the quintessential form of exploration and preservation and I treasure every moment we get to hang. He embodies the purest ethos of adventure and I can't wait to see the amazing footage and artifacts from this epic trip.

Paid a visit to my local mallway today with a couple friends. I’ll be taking a side quest to this little mall courtyard in my Fair Oaks Mall ExLog which will release some time next month. Next WEEK however, I’ll be releasing ExLog 137 on the Manassas Mall! youtube.com/sal #mall #deadmall #mallway

Nittany Mall from my shoot back in 2022. The mall’s big red guard dog has nothing left to guard!! Full video eventually here: youtube.com/sal #deadmall #mall #liminalspace

Any other mallrats out there still moonlighting as gym rats with me?? I’m still on this shit every day. GET IT!! #fitness

My blood is boiling looking at this.

Finished the shoot for ExLog 137 tonight. Decided to get even with all the mall concourse Mario kart racers in a super fast gokart inside the Manassas Mall! My expert driving will be featured in the next episode! youtube.com/sal #mall #mariokart #gokart

When I see dead malls removing fountains on the reg, it cuts deep when the school I got my masters degree at removed a fountain I typically ate lunch sitting at. Can we stop removing fountains please?

Pennrose Mall as I saw it in 2024. Still keeps me up at night wondering how this place continues to operate. #deadmall #zombiemall

Went to visit the Centre at Glen Burnie, one of my all time favorite places…there’s not much left to this mall…sad… My full videos on it’s life and death here: youtube.com/sal #deadmall #zombiemall #mallway

The Manassas Mall, VA is my next episode. Visited again today for some extra footage, and I’ll be going again this weekend for nighttime footage. This mall is great…dead parts, over-congested concourses, an indoor high speed go-kart arena…stay tuned. Lemme cook. youtube.com/sal #mall

My heart breaks for how far Marley Station Mall has fallen. If you’re contemplating visiting this legend, go now. youtube.com/sal #deadmall #mall #neon

Marley Station Mall is virtually empty now in 2025. There’s maybe a dozen stores left, and it’s giving “Lakeforest in its final year”. Go see it now before it’s gone forever, and watch both of my videos of its life here: youtube.com/sal #deadmall #retail #mall

Took Galactus over to two of my favorite old haunts today. I’m sorry to report that Marley Station Mall has fallen to levels that resemble “the final year of Lakeforest”. Centre at Glen Burnie final Mallway is just as depressing, though :( Full videos here: youtube.com/sal #deadmall #explorerst

North Shore Square Mall as I found it back in 2018 during one of my haunts through Louisiana. The mall would shutter permanently one year later in 2019. It was such a quiet explore, save for the buzzing mercury vapor. Full video tour here: youtube.com/sal #deadmall #saudade #retail

Even Mall Security can’t escape the unwavering pull of time and entropy that draws these hallowed halls of retail towards their demise. Hudson Mall - Jersey City, NJ | From my Summer 2024 Expedition #deadmall #retail #mall

Thank you all for and warm reception on ExLog 136! I had a blast at the premiere last night while we went on a deep dive through the 70s, and a rad tour through the forgettable Springfield Town Center then the incredible Eden Center! In case you missed it, #exlog 136 is live here: youtube.com/sal

ExLog 136 is now LIVE for Patrons!! It's literally two ExLogs in one. Springfield Town Center and it's blandness forces me into an existential disaster to go visit and film the Eden Center Mini Mall. Premiere tonight at 8pm. www.youtube.com/sal www.patreon.com/salvatoreama...

Played an outdoor gig today. My violin thought it was too sunny. #classicalmusician #violinist #gig

The Eden Center mini mall has a rear facade that gets virtually no visibility. In a few days, we explore this entire property in ExLog 136! youtube.com/sal #deadmall #mallway

ExLog 136 covers another living mall (Springfield Town Center, VA)…but I’m getting tired of them, so I broke down and traveled up the street to film the Eden Center which closes my next episode out. We’re in the living mall content endgame, returning to form soon.. youtube.com/sal #deadmall

I would totally buy an electric violin and a loop pedal to perform vaporwave covers on the Carlisle Plaza Mall stage all day. #deadmall #vaporwave

Paid a visit to an old friend last weekend. Carlisle Plaza hasn’t changed too much…I was sad to see Neato Burrito closed though :( Full video here: youtube.com/sal #deadmall #exlog

The fate of Chambersburg Mall breaks my heart, and it was the first abandoned mall I took Galactus to see this weekend. Full video here: youtube.com/sal #deadmall #abandoned #carporn
