It would be so cool to build a huge mall called the “last mall” that has salvaged parts from all the “big” or most popular abandon or demolished malls or at least duplicates of the cool center attractions. And all the tenets and anchors have to use their early 2000,s logos

There's actually a small-ish dead mall in my town, but as far as I can remember it's always been like that since I was a kid. The inside of it has never had that many businesses, though there are a few like a Subways and a Sears. Most of the business is done in the stores that have openings exclusively on the outside that don't link with the central hub so the inside stays kinda dead, but every year in November there's a local festival where artisans come to sell their wares inside the mall, and for a few brief days the mall springs to life like a flower in desert rain.

[@V0ID_X5]

I’ve said before that we need a VR Mall Walking Simulator where you can walk through an 80s/90s/00s mall with lots if interactivity. It would not be so much a game as much as a “walking sim” (a way to relive the nostalgic days). There could be NPCs possibly (maybe you could talk to them. There could be playable arcade machines in-game. There would be retro mallwave or popular music from the past decades. You could visit the food court (virtually eat), visit made up in-game stores (virtually shop). It could even have possible multiplayer so that you could hang out at the mall (virtually) with your friends!

Online Shopping lacks the magic that going in person to see malls and stuff there is something magical about going to real stores and not buying everything from online monopolies

[@sogowl]

Absolutely insane the memories this brought back. I’ve been to Century III Mall. I even went on the carousel, on the second floor of it. It was extremely empty at the time and I believe about one half of the mall was completely closed off and without power even. I went into a bookstore there where I bought I book that I ended up reading almost the entire series later. Amazing mall, it was a shame knowing it was almost completely dead at the time I went, no wonder it shut down. I really thought I recognized it and I did! So amazing I completely forgot about it. (Wow I freaked out about that a bit too much.)

[@Shookey]

So how big was the world's "third biggest mall," at the time. Was the building like something you'd never seen before?

[@sogowl]

@@Shookey It was a long walk, I do believe we went from wherever we walked in from to as far as we could go. And most of the mall was empty/closed so I didn’t get to see everything. I’m pretty sure we might have been the only people in there other than workers so super abandoned vibe. The indoor double decker carousel definitely was weird for sure. I was never really there when the mall was super popular, more around the late 2000s before the carousel was closed. I never expected to find a video mentioning the mall and at the time I had no clue of liminal spaces so it just felt like any old empty mall so I don’t have too many memories of it. It was unimportant to me but I really wish I would’ve payed more attention to everything.

im from mn, so whenever i go to the moa i think about how pretty it would be to wander the halls empty. of course, its still fully bustling and massively successful (at least as far as i know, it still seems as busy as it did when i was a child) so i doubt itll die anytime soon, but i cant help imagining it empty and quiet. it would be so easy to get lost in it

This is a very relatable and interesting video for people such as myself. I live in the US, and I know of a mall near me that seems to be teetering towards decline. It is a shame, really, because I have dozens of memories of going to it throughout my lifetime. It’s hard to imagine such a large space being empty/replaced by something else entirely.

[@Shookey]

Hey, even if it does shut down, wouldn't it be awesome to explore it and take pictures before it gets demolished. That experience in my opinion, would be so worth it

[@Shookey]

Ooh, or even after it's demolished or while it's been demolished

[@herbaltea2445]

Dead malls are really a favourite. I'd love to try and find an empty/abandoned mall to walk around, I bet it would give a whole new sensation to physically be in one.

[@SauloA333]

Phenomenal intro too man, great work my dude. I hope one day to be able to get pictures and record some of this abandoned malls and do some urbex. Its funny how many of you like and appreciate malls... Perhaps is my upbringing or my own experiences in my early teens but I've always hated, HATED, malls. The excessive reflective surfaces, the white fluorescent light-bulbs and stores with items you (I) couldn't afford, the security personnel beings jerks; I don't know why but I only liked them when you stayed till 10:00 PM and everyone would leave, and stores began to close letting you briefly drift alone through out the structure of the place. When you felt this creepy feeling, like you were entering another plane, a border between this ghost world and your world. Where everything was artificial, plastic or pre-fabricated on this long closed hallways. At least that's how I've always felt about malls, so when someone's telling me that malls are dying out gave me a little bit of "schaudenfreude" grin, but at the same time I know (though I'm not american) that this tells us how things are going outside and how the times are chaging.

We were in a mall in Buffalo about five years ago there was a mall with only one store left open, right in the middle of downtown. It was very weird walking through it. The tallest building in town is built right over the main drag and abandoned. It's a very strange place, feels post apocalyptic. The signs of activity were few and far between. We were there to tour some Frank Lloyd Wright homes and to check out the big art gallery whose name escapes me. It was well worth the trip but strange to see a major city with a ghost town downtown. It's like that gave up on it and accepted the death. The final stage of grief had passed.

[@Cryingemojii]

Got a spooky abandoned mall near me it's turning into a community center rn but it's been closed for 13 years (as of 2021) . But before the community center it was this empty abandoned mall that had a big window with an empty carousel in it. It's sad use to love that place as a kid

I read this book recently called “I Woke Up Dead at the Mall” where the main character was murdered in New York City and the afterlife was set in the Mall of America. They can wander the actually alive mall where people are constantly shopping, or they can go to the fifth floor (a floor that doesn’t normally exist) which is called the Mall of the Dead which serves as basically the home base of the afterlife. I imagined this to look like one of those creepy abandoned malls.

[@WackoMcGoose]

As someone that worked at a mall where one of the anchor stores went away (I actually /worked/ at that anchor store), this whole thing is a big relatable mood for me. From my understanding, a mall requires an absolute minimum of two anchor stores to continue to exist, big box stores not part of the main building don't count, and non-retail businesses like gyms and theaters don't count. Right now, Everett Mall (in Everett, WA) *_t e c h n i c a l l y_* only has one anchor store, since the Sears died years ago, and the Macy's "decided not to renew their lease". Come to think of it, the Puget Sound may as well be a mall _graveyard_ at this point. Everett Mall is still hanging in there but on life support, and Alderwood, Bellevue, Bellingham, and Southcenter are still going strong, but... Northgate, one of the most famous malls in the region, and was still going strong at the time, was _completely demolished_ for - get this - a stupid ice rink. Cascade Mall up in Mount Vernon is a more traditional sense of a Dead Mall, it shut down a year or two ago due to tenants leaving and anchor stores ollying outy. The building is still occupied by a Kohls, a no-name furniture store, and, shockingly in a post-covid world, a Chuck E Cheese, but the rest of the mall is empty and the remaining tenants had their leases forcibly terminated without prior notice. I think the remaining three stores had different contract terms that the mall _couldn't_ terminate, but when they expire, they'll be gone too, and the mall will go poof.

[@Shookey]

It's pretty sad to see but times are always changing I suppose. At least we never dealt with the heartbreak of malls destroying small towns in the 80s. We just live with the malls themselves dying

[@Shookey]

Assuming you're not a 40 year old

[@johnbaker2910]

Here's an idea. How about you look at malls that have actually started to come back to life. If there are any in the U.S. I think one called Mainplace Mall in California would be something interesting to look at, as I live near there and have seen it fall and start to climb back up lately. Also, another mall I live near called Westminster Mall would be a Dead Mall in this case. A slowly Dying Mall though.

[@pinkponcho3]

Luckily the mall near where I live is coming back. In 2016, the mall was considered dead, and it stayed that way until a couple of years ago, when they lowered the rent and allowed more small businesses to open.

I think it's disappointing how malls don't get as much attention as they used to. In the early 2000s they were crowded with people but now that has sadly changed. I personally love malls since I prefer shopping in person. I like the experience of public shopping, especially when I go to Hot Topic and comic book stores. The liminal space images abandoned malls make do look very uncanny and interesting though, so I suppose I approve of that despite everything.

[@Shookey]

Here's what's crazy to me. From doing my research, they've only been around since the 60's, maybe late 50's. Yet they've become such a global phenomenon is such a short amount of time. Now, less then 100 year later, as you stated, they don't get as much attention as they used to. It's an interesting reminder to how fast consumerist culture is always changing and adapting. Now that we have Online Shopping, I do wonder what the next "Mall/Outlet," shopping experience will be...

Online shopping isn't the major cause of malls closing. Population density, location and lack of change did. In many Asian countries malls are thriving despite online shopping. Malls in Australia are doing decent too. In Asia malls are not just shopping and entertainment, part are the mall are housing apartment and offices. The majority of shops are restaurant and eateries. Workers and residents will visit shops for lunch and do errands. Some malls have government services like the Post office, licensing centers(driving license and other permits). Some malls in Asia have integrated public transport hub in the mall like bus interchange and train stations which drive traffic to the mall.
