“It’s sad; malls used to be fun places and you could enjoy yourself while running shopping errands. Now thanks to the denizens of the dysfunctional underclass we can’t even enjoy this anymore.”
You’re right; I’m in my early forties, and they reached their heyday in the 80s (when jobs were plentiful for adults and teens alike). Those days, and that economy, are long gone. I rarely go to malls anymore, and when I do I’m shocked at how many foreigners there and how few people are buying anything. Seems to be cell phone stores, food courts, and tattoo parlors now...
And never go to a mall in a big city (unless you are heavily armed). It’s just not worth the risk
Pretty much; at this one mall the bookstores are gone, the outlets are selling generic, uninteresting things, and there was a shooting at this one mall I liked going to.
This mall buses in people from the ghetto, explains everything.
I’m ticked that a lot of great malls are becoming nothing but babysitting services for the younger kids and troublemakers. Used to be a nice place, used to be fun to go to, but now it’s just a depressing, darkening place.
Pity since I liked to park my car at the book store, read there, sometimes buy a magazine and then make the trek to the mall and go to one of the restaurants.
