I know from almost 10 years ago, but mall culture epitomozed the 70's and 80's, sorry to see it go.

Millenias and Z'ers will never understand, "the Good Times", as in the Chic song from 1979.

Flame away.

Now, we only have one big mall and it is called Amazon.

Our mall is essentially repurposed into a vagrant day camp and drug dispersion area.

Amazon is killing off suburban malls, not buses. If suburban malls were jammed with people as they once were, buses wouldn’t matter so much. There’s always the urban mall troublemakers can go to.

“Dead malls” do offer communities a lot of opportunities, but they’d probably rather have the property taxes, so nothing much is going to be done with them.

It's a combination of social media and the fact that many malls became ghetto.

If you're a mall, you want to remain as the "white mall". Once your mall turns ghetto, that's the death of the mall. Your white customers won't return and after that, it will be no longer profitable.

One of the males here is becoming condos...another is a part Charter School, and non profit bicycle shop (they get donated bikes and fix them up to sell at a fair price). Another part of the mall is a Spouts Supermarket and a Burlington. Also, USF is building student housing on the grounds, too.

as soon as the cities started routing the inner city busses to the malls, they were doomed.

Melanated teens ruined malls.

As a kid I loved going to the mall. There wasn’t one for hundreds of miles but when we would visit family in the big city they were always fun. The last time I went to a mall was early 2000s when I needed a new shirt for a wedding. It was absolutely disgusting.
