The Death of the Mega-Shopping Mall

Reader Comments

Back to article

When I was a youth, the mall was a place to meet friends, have a pizza, play a few arcade games and discuss the latest comic books (and later girls), all in a warm environment while in the dead of winter.

Are kids more outside and social today, or are our malls dying because cell phones, internet gaming, and chat rooms have replaced real human interaction?

The world may soon find out.

Riddance.

Useless flea market malls. A hangout for truant youngsters and dope peddlers.

I am glad to see it go.
