Yes, I use it regularly and feel like it makes the entry into the mall parking lot fun rather than all that crappy traffic above it.

Same. I love that quirky little underpass.

I almost hit a skateboarder in that underpass. That was the last time I used it.

I almost got hit skating there too!

It is sad. I have memories of learning to drive on it.

Me too! It’s like losing a little piece of my childhood, even though that sounds so silly to say.

I watched so many tractor trailers crash into that overpass as a kid.

On at least three separate occasions I encountered a driver trying to go up it the wrong way from the parking lot, as I was going down

Dang I didn't think this would bum me out like that. Used to skateboard and ride my bike thru that tunnel all the time as a kid.

If you ever almost got hit on your skateboard under there, I think u/rhaphido may have a couple of words for you.

I almost got hit on my skateboard 1000 times over the years. But never there. You start at the top on Parham and carve down into the parking lot.. so you had to wait for traffic to clear. Though there was way less traffic then.

First the monuments and now the cool mall underpass. What’s next?! /s

Oh man, I use this ramp pretty often. I always feel I’m making a slick getaway from traffic when I go through it. Lol.

Damn, I feel like I just lost a friend. I've lived near Regency for the last 23 years now and would almost exclusively use that when going to the mall. Hell, I still use it constantly when making the occasional Panera run.

My kids always called it the "secret tunnel," despite the huge amount of graffiti evidencing the fact that it was not at all a secret.

I always honk my horn when going through there. The echo is fun

So I wonder what will become of that little triangle of land?

It’s funny, in spite of living right around the corner from the underpass for 7 years, I never actually used it. I always found it easier to turn left on Holly Hill. Now I’m sad I didn’t.

This makes me oddly sad. Even though I rarely use it since I don't enter the mall from that side, I love the underpass. It feels like a neat, semi-secret, cool thing, and I wish we had more things like it.
