human have a curiosity about old things. Look at the Acropolis, Rome ... and yes I was trying to think of a leftist person to throw in there for laughs
Baba Wawa!
too late, right??
Among the many ghost towns I have personally visited, two were western American cities that once had populations in the tens of thousands. One had been about 50,000 when it was a county seat; the other had once been around 25-30,000.
Even as America thrived, they died because their reason for existence disappeared. Wish I could be optimistic that it's the same with these malls, as well as so many closed small town businesses.
