Which malls aren’t being bulldozed to be developed into multi-family housing? That is the fate of pretty much every mall in the country other than the very top malls. Online shopping killed the shopping mall. As a child of the late 70s / early 80s who grew up around mall culture, I feel sad at the loss. But time marches on.

Mallrats movie is 31 years old. All those kids would be doing something else today.

60s phased out drive-in movies. 90s/00s phased out malls.

Now kids live inside and phone order delivery food (and then complain about being broke)
