I went to a mall recently for the first time in I don't even know how many years because I like that the baggy pants trend from the '90s has come back and I wanted some.
I was shocked at how crowded it was, even on a weekday afternoon. Apparently that particular mall is very much not dying. Also, it had this exact scene in it.

My local Penny’s went out of business what feels like a decade ago. I didn’t realize the brand was still alive.

Wish there was a mall still near by me. I really love the vibes of a mall with the echoey music. I’d probably go on a trip to Minneapolis just to vibe at mall of America lmao.

It's great if you love insanely overpriced clothes!

All the smaller malls died/are dying. The upscale like, destination malls in larger cities are surviving. Maybe one or two per larger city.

I have at least three near me. I intend to go next month, to get a new iPhone. So yeah, every 2-5 years; I’m not their number one customer

I have one near me. I took my kid there because he was really curious about what it's like inside malls. That was some depressing shit. Any mid-2000s nostalgia was eclipse by the zombie apocalypse feel of the place.

The smaller malls are thriving in Europe, when they are situated downtown close to public transit hubs where there is a ton of pedestrians anyway, instead of far away from everything like in the US

Dead malls must be a car-culture thing, right? Because the local malls where I live are always full of people whenever I'm there, not really dead at all
And yeah, it is nice to hang out with friends there and look at clothes or eat something or stuff like that!

Ours is quite lively. Not hating social interaction, but the crowding is a bit much. The other mall died, only got one now.
Being a teen in the 80s, Woodland Hills Mall was the bomb! Big enough to spend the afternoon, hang out, meet girls, hit the arcade, dodge the skins and rednecks who wanted to beat our punker asses. Good times!

That's 100% the 5th Avenue Mall in Anchorage, AK.

Malls used to be great for that. It was where boutiques went to die

Wanted to say, I have two smaller ones and a medium mall, all within a 5 minute walk, all of them busy. But all of them also include supermarkets, the Aldi I always go to is in one. Its super convenient, when I come from work by train, I walk 1 minute from the station through the mall to the supermarket, pick up some stuff, exit on the other side of the mall and walk like 3 minutes home.

Those chairs remind me of the ones from the animated movie WALL-E, which is concerning for our futures

We have a megamall in our region that a lot of people go to but our local suburban malls are all pretty much dead and in transition. The one closest to me is slated to be developed into a mixed used residential property with apartments/condos, shops, gym, other businesees, restaurants. This is mostly due to a large chip fab manufacturing project planned to be constructed in the next 2 years. There will be demand for housing and other services so the Town/County is interested in removing any barriers for that kind of development.
2 years ago, I went into that mall during Christmas season and it was very very sad looking.

Our Aldis here are either stand-alone or adjacent to a stripmall.
