Aww, so many familiar stores that no longer exist. Such a shame.
I been to most of them!
Same, only about two that I don't remember visiting. Malls used to be THE place to be, quite funny how times have changed
Fair enough, the ones here are mostly abandoned and shutting down.They still are, my daughter is at the mall right now.
The ones around here stay busy. I guess since were so densely populated the malls and online can co-exist in modern times.
Elsewhere even if only 20% of customers switched to online shopping, the stores would be doomed.
Very true, CA does have a LOT of people, so makes sense. Here when covid hit SO many places went under, Malls were already suffering and closing before that, but it was the death knell for all but two that I know of.
Very sad, I've seen pictures and documentaries of these places.
Meanwhile over here they are remodeling them, building additions, etc.
Must be nice, malls were fun back when they were a place to be.
yeah, I noticed more food options at the malls too. New restaurants, food carts, etc. People still need to leave the house to eat out so those help keep them afloat.
Oh wait.. they can just doordash food from those places in the mall.
Sounds like when they were booming everywhere and the turnover for stores and restaurants was decent.
I've yet to use DoorDash or Uber Eats or...the other one...forgot the name of it. Too busy penny pinchingOh wait.. they can just doordash food from those places in the mall.

If you love paying $50 for $35 worth of food, its great.
Exactly, I can't bring myself to pay so much more for a little bit of convenience. I have issues going inside of restaurants, but drive thrus I can do myself.If you love paying $50 for $35 worth of food, its great.
A simpler time
The good ole' days
. Also so out of place to see people smoking indoors and ash trays at every table. How times have changed!!
