Why Shopping Malls Refuse to Die

[Left.A1]

And I'm saying you're another broke bitter dumba** whiteboy who can't mind their business

So you don’t deny his characterization of yourself …..noted

I believe it's really about the kinda people that mall attracts, at the end of the day so to speak. But it's no telling how long they're gonna keep the crowd they targeted, or how long the upgraded design will even keep them feeling safe. For example, Lennox Mall makes Southlake Mall look like the Flintstones, when you compare the architecture. And although Lennox Mall is located in upscale Buckhead, your chances of get into a fight, or even shot at, nearly doubles there compared to Southlake Mall, which is btw in Clayton County, the Blackest County in Georgia. How does this even happen. Other factors probably come into play I assume. I guess there's no silver bullet for designers to keep customers coming for that special feeling, and allowing them to always feel safe. I just know after my last experience at Lennox, when I stopped there after a dental appointment, I haven't been back since.

It’s really just an indoor open market, probably don’t have enough security for them type of environment, and todays world you need metal detectors and all type of shyt to circumvent anybody especially hateful white people from doing crazy shyt

Unfortunately, it's the black people at Lennox Mall doing most of the crazy shyt as well.

Mall is packed everytime and every weekend I go there in my city. Holiday season of course is always nuts

malls in America are dead. go to one in South America and it feels like you're back in 1995 because everyone goes to the mall all the time just to go like we used to. and they're much nicer and have better cinemas

The west side of my City has a dying mall that needs to be put down. The East side mall is perfectly fine. Like it's busy but not in the same way I remember Malls being busy when I was a kid or teenager. Now it might also be that I'm old so I really don't notice the kids/teenagers mingling and shyt. But, yeah any time I go it feels like a Mall, and not just some giant place with scattered stores.

You need to go to some of those malls overseas. For example, those malls in Thailand makes these America malls look like the Flinstones.

I’ve seen images of the malls in Dubai and just

I think the only reason Southlake Mall in Morrow stays open, is because of the food court. That's probably the only place I would halfway buy anything in that ghetto a** mall. I'm starting to feel that way about all malls, especially the Black ones.

After my experience there today for the first time in over a year, I'm gonna try and make that the last time I ever speak to another customer service rep period...it's gotten insane.

Remember when Southlake used to be solid.

But when the money leaves (the cacs) a lot of shyt goes downhill unfortunately.

ClayCo losing their school accreditation set them back badly.

It’s supposed to make people want to stay longer, that’s why it ain’t no windows really to see the outside world

And it supposed to have an open market type of feel with it, like you walking through a park or something, I believe this is another way of getting people to stay longer

Casino use this trick as well. Lack of windows, lack of a clock or time anywhere, the bright vibrants lights of each machine

reputation hits (crime) as well as opening better malls nearby (Gwinnett Place vs Discover & Mall of GA) can also contribute to the decline of many malls across the nation
