A shopping mall would sub divide into really cool condos.
More likely they will rebuild with something entirely new. The mall I grew up with in the ‘70s was totally demolished recently, to make way for a condo development with some kind of shopping “town center” whatever that may be.
Absolutely.
It would have to be a condo association, but I can imagine a very ice place where you walk outside the door and there’d be a really nice atmospheric controlled place for long walks and a real community environment.
You could also have shops, restaurants, churches...
It would be a self-contained community, and could be very upscale.
Too high of a maintenance cost when thinking the expected lifespan of a condo and a lack of windows. Imho. It’s a shame. Could end homelessness (well excuses anyway) with them? I saw a tv show called Abandoned America, I think, episode on malls. Some have been converted to many different churches.
To me that would be great. Theater, doctor’s and dentist’s office attached, Senior Center included, grocery store and pharmacy — good deal......all under one roof.
House homeless Veterans too. Lets turn the UN building into such a Shelter with cafeteria, health care, assisted living facility. Crime riddled mall in old neighborhood is being torn down....need I say what kind of area it had become? You were NOT SAFE even driving through that area in the day time unarmed.
Why should I shop in a crime riddled place with inadequate security and you won’t let me carry my Gun? Or you don’t carry any clothing, shoes in my size or style, I don’t wear Street Walker crap at my age 68, I need decent clothes and a Church dress or two or usable products? Then you have the cheap Chinese made crap that falls apart with 1 washing. I get better clothes from the Salvation Army. If I wanted rags I could keep using OLD clothes and not ever buy new ones. I still repair rips, tears, fix hems, cuffs, darn socks where the heel wears out. Hubby is 78 and he’s not changing his clothing style, past cargo pants and nice Polo shirts or T’s for around the house. Even picky about his shoes then older people have to be.
Even grocery stores have shifted away from providing regular size products, into Gigantic ones. 2 People can’t use up before they expire. I don’t need humongous boxes of any product except TP. And then the prices for smaller items has gone up and the size gone down. My motto is no sale, no coupon it sits on your shelf, if it is not a staple. I’m prepped to a certain degree, as we have ice, T Storms, damage power outages, 1 which many of Memphis and surrounds are still going through since Memorial Day. Approaching $20 M in damages. Looks like a Twister touched down not Straight Line Wind.
Thankful no loss of life so far. Just lots of damage and power outages. Power generators flying off shelves in every store that sells them. Most don’t even know how to safely use them or will read the manual. We’ve had 1 for years for that reason.
