Some of these dead malls are creepy.
Thanks! That is a depressing website.
I wonder how much of the problem is just the general coarsening of society. So many people just do not know how to act in public, and, like water, seeks its lowest level....
Blue Ridge Mall and Cool Crest in the 70s. Topsy’s sold popcorn and my grandparents liked that.
Riverbend Mall in Rome, GA is on the list. My Dad did his cardiac mile walk in that mall after he retired back there to the farm in the Johnson Community. The downfall of that mall was the Etowah River totally flooded it out and it was never the same after that as the article states. I remember thinking when I first saw it, that's a strange place for a mall, right on the bottom land along a muddy brown river.
