It's a fantastic website. I just submitted photos for Heritage Park Mall in Midwest City, Oklahoma and Crossroads Mall in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I took the pictures today and had a lot of fun doing it!
Thanks for the interesting link. I have been to a couple of those featured in the website. I remember going through one of those areas a couple years ago, and thought hey might be fun to stop at that mall they have there. To my surprise, it was dead.
I don't know what it is about it, but the dead malls stuff really is fun for me. One thing, is a lot of them around here, are from a different era. So it is kind of a trip back in time.
I love that website. My brother and I must have the " Mall" gene in us because we talk about various malls we've been too and how they've changed over the years. Our dad and uncle were the same way. My uncle even took slides of the local mall when it was built about 40 years ago and we can remember how it looked like when we were kids. We'd also go to the malls( the big east Pa malls) at Christmas time and can remember how they used to go crazy decorating with ride on kiddy trains, villages, snow, trees, animatronics, fountains, etc. Good memories. They don't do that any more.
Then we talk abot the dead malls. I've been to some and they can creep you out. Some are small or even tiny, others bigger but just as dead. Empty store fronts, cheap vendors, aybe a few hold out anchor stores. They die off from competition of the big malls or strip malls. And you see old people sitting on benches talking, or derelicts just wandering around or kids with nothing better to do than to just hang out. And some of these malls are out in the boonies where you wonder why they were built there in the first place. Others are in good locations but lose business to malls nearby. Others just reputations for being sketchy crime wise and most shoppers won't go there.
