Dead malls are popping up all over the states, particularly in the Midwest, where economic decline has sped up the "going out of business" process. This map, put together by a Dead Malls Enthusiasts Facebook group, shows that well.
As Americans are faced with multiple shopping options and more stores are leaving malls, it should be interesting to see if malls and mall culture will survive.
What you are about to see is what happens when malls are abandoned. It's apocalyptic and really, really creepy....

You are talking about a Bismatck or a Napolean. How often do men like that come along?

I see good potential for nursing homes, retirement apartments, high end-self contained communities, or even affordable housing. Possibilities exist but will take dollars and imagination for conversion.

I’ve seem similar recommendations out there... that’s a great option. The enclosed environment could give seniors a full-blown community, replete with apartments and stores located within an expansive, climate-controlled facility.

Eerily dystopian shot of America’s likely future if we are unable to turn the tide in the culture war.

Going to a mall in Memphis is asking for trouble. The great “Mall of Memphis” closed because from the mall to the parking the locals preyed upon the shoppers like hyenas to carrion. It got so bad the mall had to put up guard towers and still the locals robbed the customers. Tupelo’s Barnes Crossing is getting more like Memphis everyday due to the numbers of minorities in the parking lots looking for whiteys to rob.

I used to own an arcade right after I left the service. Made decent money for the time.

In Knoxville they have had West Town Mall for decades and it continues on. They opened a mall called East Town in the 80’s and it is declined greatly. To many feral youth ruining it, along with the crime. I won’t shop in malls unless armed and I certainly do not want my wife and daughter in these crime infested sewers.
When the youth are allowed to roam without parents present you can count on the properties demise in the near future.

In areas that are rundown and viable, they should revamp them into Schools.

Im Asian and became citizen in 1996. I wonder how many of those malls were abandoned because of too many blacks; how many of them due to economic shift ie plants moved overseas ?

Pretty much. Then again, Uber and Lyft solves that problem.
