    Not sure I’d want to subscribe to that. It seems depressing. Lol

      Lol fair. For me, the melancholy and sadness is part of the appeal. I kinda enjoy those feelings of sad nostalgia. I also like to be able to appreciate these beautiful, massive buildings before they get torn down or replaced with something else.

        Just makes me miss the malls, as a 90’s kid. Lol

      Nah. It’s morbidly interesting IMO.

          An empire that we lived in and got to experience when it was thriving. That’s why dead malls in particular have a distinctly bittersweet feeling to them. Those of us who frequented malls in the 80’s and 90’s can vividly remember when they were filled with people, commerce, and social activity. They were such lively social spaces back then, so seeing them slowly succumb to the ravages of time and fade into irrelevancy is both sad and fascinating.

      It is and it isn’t. I find the decline of malls and their abandonment absolutely fascinating. Relics of their time before online shopping. From behemoths of capitalism to shells of their former selves. Hell anything abandoned is kind of cool. But malls kinda hit different.
