Our local mall was nearly deserted this year.
We’ve lost Penney’s, Sears, the tow ‘anchors, Dillards (an upscale dept store) is closing and all that’s left is small ‘urban’ fashion stores that have very ugly clothing.
Rumor is that the mall will be torn down and replaced with condos...................
Before I moved to Florida, I would occasionally stop by a mall in Frederick, Maryland. Back in the 1970s, through the 1990s, it was a bustling place, anchored by JC Penney and Montgomery Ward (both gone), and there was even a busy video arcade and a movie theatre. But eventually, JC Penney was replaced by Boscov’s, Montgomery Ward was replaced by Home Depot, and, with the exception of a restaurant and maybe the bank, the rest of the mall became an abandoned stretch of wilderness, dark, empty and cavernous.
There are two kinds of malls:
The malls white people go to.
The malls white people used to go to.

Circuit City, Comp USA, Radio Shack, PetValu, Borders and KMart.
Those gutted me.
For reasons I cannot fathom, we’re getting a “Boot Barn” in the strip mall where KMart once was.
As if we really need a lot of square dancing clothes and hideous “fashion” cowboy boots here.
Interesting, that's the same plan for a huge mall near my house.
I bet they don’t replace. They’ll tear dorm the mall and leave flattened ruble, sure, but they’ll build the condos on what was a nice farm with arable soil so that no food will ever again be grown there .
Want a mall destroyed. Just add ‘teens.’
