Valley West Mall is Dead in Wdsm Iowa

Sad to see a mall that when I was younger was one of the most busiest places in the world. I was obviously shocked while wondering through it today

"I got this at my local Walmart", he said as another tenant in West Valley Mall slapped a padlock on their once fruitful American Dream.

I'll be 60 this year, so I was a "mall-rat". I'm curious. How do you explain it to your kids, Chad?

@jameshall9402 I just took them to the Mall of America back in July. So while we sat there today I asked them if they remember how many people were there? They responded yes. I explained when I was close to their age the mall we were at was just as busy as that place was and now it's empty. I used to go to this mall all of the time and it's a lot to process seeing it in what is probably it's final days.
