Do you think malls could ever make a comeback?

Dubai Mall is awesome

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Probably not. Amazon and smartphones killed malls. People today have so much more they could be doing than spending afternoons at the mall.

You mean they could be browsing social media and posting on the coli instead?

Tyson Corner Malls, east of DC

Dubai Mall is awesome

Dubai is the 2nd-most overrated place on earth.

…after the Dallas Cowboys locker room.

Malls still popular in some places. Scottsdale Fashion Square

Yes they can but they have to reimagine it …

Turn them into mixed use properties with condo and retail consisting of non chain stores (local small businesses)

Also the huge parking lots you’ll have to transform some of it into landscaping with trees and great areas and outdoor activations such as well designed parks (with area to host live music)/ sports fields/ pool and pop up retail space (think shipping containers)

Basically micro communities with public attractions

Outside of Jersey? No. I didn't realize shyt was bad until I visited malls in Penn and Virginia. Depressing.

 

[904]

Nope. It's 100% over.
We're going to be telling future generations about these malls like they were a relic of a time now completely gone.

Is that last picture from the Last of Us lol

I still go to the mall most weekends but it’s a therapeutic thing for me.

To shop? Or you just like to get out of the house?

Easton be crowded as hell on the weekends, can’t even find a parking spot sometimes.

Malls like Easton that have modern and cool restaurants or specialty stores I think can survive.

Yeah, there is a lot going on around there to keep a lot of traffic. Just about everything you need is on that Easton "campus" from food, clothes, the car dealerships, etc
