Allow only 45 days or so to give them a chance then they have to leave.
Coming to a neighborhood near you....
Give them a home and then they won’t be “homeless”! Problem solved! /s
my girl lives very close to this area in a nice apartment complex. and Yeah, the Sears is still open.
Malls are all dinosaurs stumbling around looking for a place to die.
No store will be open at that mall before long.
You fill up a local spot at a mall with homeless people, and I won’t be anywhere near any of the remaining stores.
IF I worked at that mall, I would be finding a new job.
Not all, but many.
Yup. I was up at a mall/ business complex near where I live and a high end furniture sore was going out of business. I in that area the only things open were a starbux, a hair place and a financial office. I looked at the furniture place. It had office desk chairs for $600 dollars, marked down from $1500. Nice stuff, but way over priced.
FWIW Brick and mortar did more in sales last quarter then online for the first time in a long time.
There is stuff I prefer to look at and handle in person before buying. Or stuff I need today from Home Depot or auto parts stores.
Same here. All that’s left are a Sears and a Penney’s. The other 3 anchors are long gone.
At this point, I think Sears is trying to hold out until they can sell the land under the store as part of a re-development plan (there’s been a couple of $billion in new construction within a mile of the dead mall in the last few years - it’s a great site for a billion dollar or so development).
Malls are all dinosaurs stumbling around looking for a place to die.
Not a Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, from the impact of the internet.
SUICIDE by unwanted ‘shoppers’.
Ask the American Indians about unwanted guests
Remember when Macy’s betrayed then candidate Trump?
I’m sure a lot of factors or involved in why the store closed, but that betrayal was certainly a big part of it.
sore = store
I guess spelchek is no help there!
Gee. What could go wrong with putting a homeless shelter in a mall?
Macy’s also betrayed my wife. She had been a faithful employee for years before we were married and they welcomed her back to work holidays for years after. Sometime about 2005, they decided women in their 50s distracted from their image to be a new hipster store and wouldn’t have her back.
Sears is the only store open. It was one of the original anchor stores when the mall opened in the 60s as an open-air mall.
I remember going to that mall in 1984 when my wife was stationed in DC and I was still in Michigan. I would drive down to see her as much as possible and we would shop the Sears store and the building with the smaller stores.
When we were stationed in DC in 1992 we were really surprised to see Landmark was a huge enclosed mall. It didn't last very long.
The Mall Walking Mommas are gonna be upset.
