The last time I was in a mall was about 5 years ago to get some help with my (then new) Samsung cell phone. It had been at least 20 years since I had been to a mall.
It felt sort of surrealistic - kind of like the movies where people at the Coney Island amusement park when it's closed.

Decades ago I worked at a department store in a large mall. I spent many hours there and it had just about everything you could want - including a movie theater. For years afterward I shopped at mall here or there, but in the last 20 years I have barely been to a mall. They rarely have what I’m looking for. Many cities have seen once popular malls shut down because of violent “teens”.

Recently I needed to kill time while waiting for an appointment. I decided to pop into a mall I had never visited. It was very nice, but completely empty. I was shocked. I’m sure it’s busier on weekends, but business must be suffering.
