Out of the 5 in the Pigsknuckle metro area, 3 are dead, 1 is dying, and 1 is still managing to do fairly well.

I went to a Sears that was technically attached to a mall a few weeks ago, but I didn't go in the mall itself. Does that count?

Overall, I've probably been to or near a true indoor mall about 5 times in the past 10 years.

This is kinda interesting, was filmed earlier this year, the place has been dead for years but is still in amazing condition. It's going to be a shame when they finally tear it down.

Went into a mall this summer to go to a Younkers store that was going out of business after 50 years. Got a 200 ml bottle of Light Blue cologne for $80. Went to the Vans store in the mall about a year ago.

The one down the street from my house is always packed. I’m in San Jose and the mall is currently under a remodel including a new parking structure.

do you have family up there? Interesting - Pennsylvania has a lot of dead malls - one of the leading states in dead malls, actually.

Nah...just in the area for work. That particular mall appeared to still be hopping. Wouldn't have even gone over there, but there is a Legal Seafood in the mall (and it was tasty).

The mall near me that has managed to survive has shifted to restaurants/clubs/theaters/things to do go cart racing etc to compliment retail.
As wired as young people are they still go to movies more frequently than older folks.
So good movie theaters in a mall can still attract traffic.

The one at the crown center is cool

Legal seafood as opposed to illegal?

When's the last time you've stepped foot inside of a mall? I used to love to shop and I'll say it's been over 3 years for me.

Just wanting to get the general consensus on this. No poll - just post your answer.

Thanks

I ****ing love malls. I think they are going away because they became a sanctuary for rambunctious kids. Because everything about a mall makes too much sense.
They are great because
1) You don't have to trudge thru the snow to get to ANY of your stores.
2) You can peruse many stores at once.
3) Great for impulse buying or destination shopping
4) You don't have to go outside to go to another store
5) You can eat, see Santa Claus, shop, and take a shit all at the same time
6) You can get a nice walk
7) People watch and check out chicks

I really don't understand why you would rather go to a strip mall, than a real mall. I get it if you are in Southern California where the weather is always nice, but in the winter or summer when the weather sucks here, the mall is where its at.
