What was the first Dead Mall you saw that started your interest? (lemmy.world)

For me I think it would be the Burlington County Mall. I remembered going there once as a kid. A decade later, I saw a picture of how abandoned it was, and that led me down a rabbit hole into seeing how other malls are doing.

How did you begin?

When I lived in the US (Austin,TX) for a year back in 1991-92 I loved going to the malls. Highland Mall, Barton Creek Mall and all the others in the area and neighboring cities. Also all the times I have been back road-trip’ing the US malls has been a great evening entertainment. Just the idea that all those malls I have visited across the US is slowly disappearing is strange to me. For me it’s a part of the American lifestyle and that people stopped going to them is hard to see. But also in the country I live the malls are getting fewer and fewer customers but not in the way it leads to a dead mall trend yet.
