Just like the real American Dream: endlessly delayed, over budget, and dead on arrival.

I live about 30 minutes away from the 3rd largest Mall in the US, the King of Prussia Mall. A mall so large, my friend's and I have legit got lost in it before. And with all its stores it just feels... empty. Soulless and empty.

Just imagine how soulless and empty they’ll be when literally nobody works at & goes to them (and there’s monsters hiding in the shadows probably in this fantasy)

Imagine looking at a place with arcades, rides, art exhibits, a water park, and ski slopes and actual things to do instead of just mindlessly buy shit you don’t need and be like “those damn capitalists…. Going out and having fun…”

Thank you for this. Citizen Kane changed my life when I was 12 and this mall was mentioned by the teacher at the end of the film. Thankfully he passed before it was ever completed; staying true to the Hollywood story. RIP Keith

A big part of the mall's problems is how expensive it is to visit. $5 for parking, $100 for the water park, an amusement park with prices comparable to the much bigger Six Flags Great Adventure an hour away, etc. They've essentially priced out any locals and seemingly are banking on tourists to make the mall a success.

There is no f***ing way me or anyone else will pay to park when there are half a dozen thriving malls with a 12 mile radius of the American Dream Mall that cost nothing to park

Funny timing on the video, I'm taking my daughter there this weekend for the Nickelodeon theme park. I haven't been up in this area in about 10 years. There's a few restaurants in local businesses that I like up there. Now I kind of feel bad about supporting them all the plow over swampland. guess is nothing that could be done about that now. It looks like there's a lot of stuff there, but I'm just looking online. I'm sure very much correct about it being overcrowded and certain things, and completely dead, and other areas. That's how the cherry Hill mall is. the one side of the mall is pretty much dead but the other side where all the kid, friendly stores and food court is is packed. They need to extend the food court, it's like 5-10 minutes in line to get a Boba tea.

Im sad kids today cant explore malls like we used to. When i was a kid the mall felt like a new world. You could go to 30 different stores, a bunch of food spots, and all sorts of adventure.

'waiting in line for a youtube burger' lmao The original inventor of 'the mall' wanted malls to be a 3rd place for people to hangout; a modern town square. He was a socialist reformer. Too bad capitalism ruins everything. Malls THRIVING in the East though. Chinese malls are bumping
