Visited the local mall and boy. It's maybe 10 percent filled, but so much damage. No working escalators anymore either.

Walked into this. Had no idea there wasn’t a mall here anymore

An entire website dedicated to documenting dead malls.

Durango Mall has a lot of stores shuttered. There's a TJ Maxx, Ross, Shoe Dept., Claire's, Maurices, Zumiez and a nail salon left. In the last few years many stores have closed, including Bed Bath & Beyond, Pier 1, JCPenney, and Sears. Oddly Old Navy just opened in the old Pier 1 space. All the rides and candy machines were removed for COVID and never returned. Most of the benches are gone. No food court. There's a rumor Hobby Lobby may take over the JCPenney store, and several people have suggested they should being back the bowling alley like they had when they first opened. I did have fun walking through the Spirit Halloween haunting the remains of this mall. Photo taken 1PM on a Tues.

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?

Let's get a list going.

I began this community because I really liked having that 'blast from the past' on my feed. However, I am busy in my personal life -- so if anyone is willing to assist me with moderating, especially if you did that on the former Reddit community, please let me know! Thanks!
