So does that mean no more "Another Dirty Room" for a while??

I've run across his videos in the past.
Always wanted to see him do one on the old Carousel Mall/Central City Mall in San Bernardino, CA.
It was a husk and was finally shuttered last summer. My brother and I wandered around in it just like a month before then finally shut it down after like a decade of there being like 4 stores out of 100 spots and no more anchor stores since the early 00s.

There's an old historic Harris' store that the mall was connected to. Decadent old timey concrete architecture. Grand staircase that wrapped around 3 floors with a chandelier in the middle. Relic of what was once an opulent era in the 20s. Was still open in the 90s when I use to get dragged there every Sunday by my grandmother.
Fun story. I got solicited by some guy in the bathroom there at like 12. Reached under the stall and gave a hand gesture. Scared the hell out of me and I bolted. Never told my grandmother otherwise the old loon would never let me out of her sight again. Damn creepy bathroom. Top floor. Elevator exited by the always closed tea room atrium that overlooked the 4 floors below it. Then down 3 looong hallways with crappy lighting. Not a soul would be up there.
I always wondered in later years if that guy was the serial killer who murdered Anthony Martinez near where I lived in 1997. Joseph Duncan III. It was unsolved for years until he was caught in 2005 in a national manhunt when he killed some family and kidnapped their little girl. Then it came out he was tied to all these other murders and molestations of boys and as it turns out he was on parole and with his dad who lived in Highland CA at the time that incident happened to me and then a few years later after a stint in prison again when he killed Martinez. And that would have placed him within about 5 miles of that mall at the time if he was skulking around there.
