Our local mall has been there for almost 50 years, and always had a bus stop.
Things were always pretty good until the last 10 years or so.
I used to like going to malls, but most of the best ones here have closed. I don’t go to any, anymore.
first, people are older, children grown....once your children are grown, there's really not much reason to be shopping constantly....
I don't know about the rest of you, but I wear a few select items, they get washed and worn again....not a big wardrobe, thank God....so I don't need nor do I want many new clothes....I got plenty...as does the husband....
Secondly, since we are an aging population who wants to be walking all over a mall when you can order it on amazon or go to a drive up store....
thirdly, the younger generations are not very respectful and the hooliganinism and crime are just too much.
