Imagine apartments built into what used to be department stores, (Oh, you’re JC Penny 203? I’m at Sears 106). Get those old arcades up and running. Set up meal stations at the food court. Once people actually live there, stores will start to move back in.
If I’m unable to finish my life in my own home, that doesn’t sound like a terrible option.
No God please no. I hated malls as a child, this would be some sort of fucked up psychological torture.
That’s ok, you can still go to Shady Pines.
