This has been happening for a while. The guy who developed the first mall said he regretted it and wished to see malls close one day

Macy's was my go-to get fresh spot

I don't fukk with online shopping for clothes at all

 

[Techniec]

Yep, I remember going to the store at Vic Park/Sheppard. I remember going to the Chuck E Cheese there and heading over to that store afterwards to check stuff out with my family. I think that store went out of business in 97 or 98 breh. fukk, that was a long time ago.

And then hit up Johnny's

The crazy part is that malls are dying but those outdoor strip mall type spots are thriving. They building them things all over the place here and they crowded af

Most of those places are outlet stores. So they automatically come with " sales/discounts " out the door.

Yeah n then greedy rich folks needed a place to hide their money n saw how malls was a great place to invest.

Crazy how that area changed so much...I remembered my whole family would do everything in that plaza on the weekend. Us kids went to Chuck E Cheese, they shopped at Food Basics and then we'd grab something at Mr.Donut or Johnny's or the Chinese takeout place near that green plaza down the street. Most of these places aren't even there anymore

[sfgiants]

i used to love going to the malls when i was in hs to steal shyt and get bytches numbers

this was before snapchat and ig and there were hella hos at the mall plus the bytches at the macy's make up counters were actual human females and not trannies

selling stolen jackets and jeans and cologne at school the week after

 

[richaveli83]

I remember as a teen hanging out at the mall trying to holla girls, skipping school or showing up late for class to go get the new Jordan's or other new kicks (this was before they started releasing on Saturdays), just chilling and having a good time. I wonder what teens would do now. I can't see it being good for teens first jobs or low skilled labor.

Where can I order their merchandise since they are going out of business..

 

[RhymesWell]

The mall was one of the first places to go to meet girls back in day.Nothing like seeing a dime walk out of JCPenney or Sam Goody.

Yeah the mall was the place to go kick it with friends and try to meet girls back in high school but now the kids got IG, Snapchat, Tinder, etc etc for all that
