Well the malls got rid of main street, and Amazon et al, got rid of the malls.

What has substantially decreased employment is mandated benefits and wages and taxes on having employees.

Dawn of the Dead was filmed at the Monroeville Mall outside Pittsburgh. A key reference movie for the zombie apocalypse.

Dixie Square Mall outside of Chicago was used for filming a chase scene for the movie The Blues Brothers.

It also was built in 1966, and abandoned in 1978.

There was a large, beautiful mall near me. What killed that mall was not Amazon. What killed that mall was placing a bus stop near one of the doors.
The next thing you know, the mall was a gathering place for every hoodlum within 20 miles.

A friend of mine was a police officer in that mall’s municipality. About a year before the mall closed, my friend warned me not to go to that mall on a Friday or a Saturday night. It was just too dangerous.

Not from what I’ve seen. The malls were killed from gangs of Amish utes creating mayhem.

The first shopping shopping mall I remember was in Northern Virginia called Seven Corners way back in the early sixties.

Nowadays, snipe hunts are performed in the sleeping bag.

“Diversity” killed malls where I grew up. “Youths” and “Teens” terrorized vendors and shoppers. No one wants to hang out and shop where a bunch of diversity occurs
