    Default Dead Malls. Is yours on here? Should it be?

    Interesting website. My local mall made the list a couple week ago.

    http://deadmalls.com/

    I go in there this afternoon to find the "Calendar Club" kiosk to buy a calendar for my nephews birthday (which was actually yesterday but lazy ass uncle Doc was too cranky and tired) and lo and behold, I could have rolled a damn bowling ball down the corridor and not hit anybody, and this is supposed to be Christmas season. I mean, its not terribly vacant store wise, just no shoppers.

    After making my purchase, I was gonna buy a soft pretzel for dinner, but the lady at the stand seemed to be fiddling with stuff in the back. I could've stole a fountain drink and nobody would have noticed. So I left sans pretzel. It was kind of eerie and sad to watch. Even the gal as the mall customer service stand looked like she was going to fall asleep.

    The big box stores are slowly and methodically killing these places.

    Where are teenagers hanging out nowadays, then?

    I can't stand malls now, but when I was a kid, that was the place to be. You could see a movie, get whatever you want to eat, shop at the dollar store and Claire's, and just hang out all damn day with your friends. I know they're not doing all that at Best Buy, so where are they?

    They killed the downtowns. Now they're getting killed by big boxes and lifestyle centers. It's the circle of life.

    The local mall here should easily on there. It's so retarded when we go there- they can't seem to keep any good stores there and they won't work to get more popular ones to come there either.

    They even changed the name at one point to try to update their image...it didn't work...they changed it back not too long ago. Idiots.

    The one here seems pretty dead, still lots of people, just no positive vibe and feels dated. I know a few out in Daytona have gone the way of the Dodo

    Malls are dying, unfortunately, they're just being outcompeted by newer, better malls.

    There's a mall I go to occassionally that seems to be still alive, but it needs a walker to get around. It's sad when I'm the big spender, yet I haven't spent more the 150-200$ in a store.

    They hang out in fast food parking lots or go to mash-up raves.

    Some malls have come to the rule of no-parent - no-entry. I know - stupid isn't it? What a way to treat customers.

    Malls are dependent on "anchor stores." Big popular ones like Sears or J.C. Penny... and other such stores that have let themselves go to shit and closed up.

    This one's just a pile of rubble now, as it awaits its future.

    The newer popular malls seem to be doing well though.

Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    I haven't gone anywhere near a mall in a while, but they're not dead here...
