People claim that no one shops at the mall anymore but I went to the mall today and it was packed

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

keep believing the internet lie and i know the truth and how you got all the shyt you got for real.
can't tell me about high speed cause i am how you got it.
can't tell me about any field you type in cause i created the profitability for you to do so.
every server flavor that houses your online destinations. I was the first beginning rep for the Microsoft small business server. That lead to how webfarms even came to be.
co location, fiber....

I was how you got it.
or how the company competing came to be. From trying to outdo me at the oldest and largest.

you see online sports and marketing. My company was the first to do it with the cubs.
where, i was the first one winning the company tickets for being number one in sales, too.

stop believe'n these lies.
it is a depression and wack as fukk everywhere.

You right breh....people don't sleep in lines for the newest iPhone....the media lying to me and the newest retro Jordan's are $50 now because they can't sell them and they just taking up shelf space. Nike about to go out of business soon

Nothing beats a Saturday shopping mall experience. Cop some fresh new clothes, eat at the food court and finish off with a chat with nikkas whilst enjoying some latte and the sights. May the mall never die.

I don’t mind shopping strips as well, going door to door, different stores and walking on the pavement and enjoying that sunshine,

Hopefully people will have enough of online shopping and the malls go back to popping

They are trying desperately to revamp as town centres instead of malls.

Yeah the “planned communities” are taking over the suburbs now.

I live in North Jersey and the only malls people go to like that are Jersey Gardens (which is basically a giant outlet), Paramus (large fancy mall about 15-20 mins from Manhattan) and Short Hills (high end). I picked my daughter from Livingston Mall a couple of weekends back and more than half the lot was empty and most of the higher end stores were gone, it was mostly cheap clothing and 5 dollar stores. That is telling. So sure people are going to the mall but they aren't spending the bread

The ones that are surviving focus on a niche(outlet and/or luxury) and/or become indoor entertainment/medical/restaurant hubs.

In Virginia Beach, Lynnhaven Mall is still thriving like a muhfukka, and the Lynnhaven area is a dining/shopping destination. It's in the middle of the city, though...

Across town, bout 10 miles away in Downtown Norfolk, MacArthur Center is dying a very public and ugly death. It's bad, and it's in a location that most people would like, right downtown. It's weird to watch the two malls simultaneously going through different things...

I've been to the mall maybe three times since I've been here in Raleigh. Crabtree is always packed and thriving two times I went, Triangle Town Center was dead when I went. I think in cities where there are multiple mall districts, there is a trend of only one being strong enough to survive the new environment with online retail. That's what it seems like in this part of the country anyway...

Arden Fair is always packed in Sacramento, and I go everytime I'm back home because I have relatives that live like 5 minutes away. So it's always easy to pop in for something...

We've been told for a decade it was over for malls. Alot of them have survived, I think the thing was with the advance in technology and different avenues to shop, you couldn't have a market oversaturated with malls. I think now that most of the weaker ones have been eliminated or are on their way out, we're seeing the strong ones still thrive and they won't be going anywhere, they had a purpose and their value has/will increase now that markets aren't oversaturated with unnecessary rival malls...

I'm old school, I online shop maybe once/twice a year, I hit a mall maybe 3-5 times a year. I prefer the experience of the mall...

When I was in LA last (in 2014) I went to the beverly center.......It was dead as hell, tumbleweed type shyt. First time I went in 95 it was one of the most packed malls I ever seen.

What time and day did you go?

Malls are only dying out because real estate developers stopped building them in favor of spots like The Domain in Austin. shyt is like a mini city and everything in walking distance but outdoors. Got everything from clothing stores to night clubs, nice restaurants. The major department stores like Macy's stay open past midnight

the iphone,...that is one new item foo foo.

please do not tell me about jordans, either.
when if you were from the chi.
You would know wtf to do, if you wanted them for real for real.
plus jordans were not the only hot shoe like now.
they had numerous sellout lines or limited shoes.
that had high shelf price then, As well.

the internet only popular cause people broke as fukk.
they do not own a terminal in houses still.

only reason why you don't think it is a recession.
is people have ebt cards. Which was created to eliminate the visual of people waiting in lines for aid.

the whole world is poor right now.

if you from san fran. You either living well from the tech industry and an exception to the rule.
or you in poverty with crazy cost of living.

this.

I never find shyt worth a purchase in the mall.
I go to look tho.
I just stay fresher than anybody living.
so, i know i won't find nuffin but i still go.
I usually go and then go to the post office to check my packages.
I like to go to a skate shop and even zumiez more than anything tho.
now it is hard to find supras in the mall now.
It makes it even less exciting to go to the mall.

[D.C Young]

It seems like the small local malls are dying out but the major ones are still popping I think

There's a shopping mall called Tysons Corner Center in the D.C area, and its the biggest one in the state/area

and that shyt is super packed on the weekends, you can't even walk in a straight line
