Is Hamilton Mall Officially DEAD? What Happened?! (Latest Updates and Full Walkthrough)

It’s hard to believe this is the same Hamilton Mall we loved in the 90s and 2000s. Walking through during the 2025 holiday season, the silence is a stark contrast to the wall-to-wall crowds we remember. From the massive Sears anchor to the food court where we all hung out, the decline is heartbreaking to see.

Join me for a nostalgic walkthrough as we track the closures from 2018 through 2025. This isn’t just about retail; it’s about a piece of our community’s history slipping away. What was your favorite store back in the day? Let’s reminisce in the comments.

The $30,000 Down Payment Grant in Atlantic County NJ! (Do You Qualify?)

Can you really get $30,000 to buy a home in Atlantic County, New Jersey?! In this video, we break down the Atlantic County Improvement Authority’s HUD HOME program.

This specific grant can cover your down payment and closing costs, but the rules are strict. We cover the 2026 income limits (80% AMI), purchase price caps for existing homes vs. new construction, and the “live or work” requirement that catches many buyers off guard.

If you don’t fit the HUD program, don’t worry. I also explain the NJHMFA statewide program which offers up to $17,000 with much higher income limits. Homeownership in South Jersey is still possible, but you need the right strategy.
