Dan Bell, a filmmaker from Baltimore, is best known for his Dead Mall documentary series, cataloguing the 2010s urban decay phenomenon of foreclosured upon/abandoned shopping malls. After years of fans clamoring for Bell to visit Lakeforest, he released his video highlighting the soon-to-be demolished mall in February (video below). The video has been viewed 63k times since it’s release nine days ago. Plans to redevelop the mall were recently recommended for approval by City of Gaithersburg planning staff.
