Consider the nearly 100° temperature today, July 2, 2026, in the Harrisburg area; being a Colonial…read morePark mall walker is a perfect way to escape the sweltering heat and get in some aerobic exercise. Perfect Why? To walk in the secure, cool, climate-controlled Colonial Park Mall. Although Colonial Park Mall is a dead mall, it is alive with the few remaining stores and the mall walkers. The selection of stores is minimal, but people still shop, though not in large numbers. The mall office is open, and the custodial staff still keep the mall clean. They open the mall doors at 10:00 am, even though most stores open at 11:00 am. A reminder about the selection of stores: Boscov's, T-Mobile, Modest Muslim Men's and Women's Stores, a Dollar store, a shoe store, cleaners/tailor, Kay Jewelers, self-serve kiosk machines, two nail shops, and Osaka, one food court restaurant.

A tomb for local nostalgia, plagued by ghosts of its dead social relevance, the Colonial Park Mall…read moreis a hollow shell. It is an empty, echoing chamber of dusty vaults that once held great names and popular brands that drew hundreds of shoppers per day. This once proud social hub would be horrifyingly quiet if not for the pop music piped into the empty spaces, the upbeat sounds distorting as they echo off the tile and concrete surfaces, blending the sing-song melody of a angelic spirit into a lost soul fighting its final descent into madness. Yes, the Colonial Park Mall is dead, but remains haunted, one might say possessed by a small community of vendors peddling curious wares and sinister services. And also cell phone stores. You would be forgiven to think the random, lone stranger walking by is the spirit of a former shopper who once used the mall for their daily walk and expired near the old Radio Shack and now doomed to tour its remains for all eternity. The mall is policed by cemetery watchmen, glassy-eyed custodians ready to expel loiterers and those without a shopping agenda. They wander through the ruins left behind by pretzel makers and shoe stores and clothiers and other shoe stores and Hickory Farms and even more shoe stores. And they converge every hour at an empty center court where children once gathered as a wise and cheerful Santa Claus would grant audiences and wishes from 10 to 11 and again from 1 to 3 on Saturdays during the holidays. Gone are the mallrats, their socializing now digital. Gone are the great savings events and sports memorabilia shows and special musical guests. Gone are the anchor stores like Sears and Bon Ton. Only Boscov's survives to give this empty space meaning. The mall itself is a parasite grafted to its flank. Come and peer into the past as thoughts of the post-apoclaypse rise from the vibe. To stand inside this dying space is to know the meaning of loneliness. To step beyond the threshold of the jubilant Shoe Carnival is to be stripped of all joy and hope.

Generally clean and open during normal business hours, Strawberry Square contains some good restaurants in the food court and elsewhere.

It's better than it used to be and hopefully continues an upward trend in the coming years.

It's not really my scene - but it does give Harrisburg a little modernity that it desperately is crying out for. It's big and fancy and gets the job done. Like immigrants in Hamilton.
