Since I live just an hour away, I have gone to the Mall of America about once every three years, starting when it opened over 30 years ago. Unfortunately, the mall is slowly losing its luster. In the beginning the mall had four very good anchor stores and higher end stores throughout the mall. Through the years, it seems like the higher end stores are leaving and being replaced with "B" tier and lower stores. Sadly it seems like the mall store class is becoming more of a dollar store.

4:45 What happened to the native americans before the stadium was built? 🏟️

[@SADFORIAN]

In the 1800's, that region of what is now the south-central flank of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro area running east to west was part of a much larger demilitarized zone that was created by the US Army in response to the frequent Ojibwe invasions from the north into the villages south in the Sioux territories and was managed out of Fort Snelling (very near today's Mall of America and the airport), in part to keep the peace between the two combatants. Prior to the Ojibwe invasions it was long held Sioux land (they followed the Paleo Indians who were the first inhabitants after the retreat of the glaciers, some 12,000ya), but the constant harassment by the Ojibwe led the Sioux to largely depopulate the area, creating a void of sorts and also an opportunity for settlement by American easterners ready to make a buck in timber and the like. Plus, St. Paul was as far as you get north on the Mississippi by steamboat, so it was a reachable outpost of one of the most northern portions of the Louisianna Purchase. The stadium went up a hundred plus years later, long after the dust had settled, and the Ojibwe and Sioux get along fine now and are making bank running their respective casinos both to the north and south of the cities. Plus, there's still a lot of Natives who live in the Twin Cities Metro, living their lives like everyone else.

I've seen many megamalls closed and abandoned across the US. And more are closing. I am sure that this one will follow the same fate, oneday. It is just a question of time.
