    Lots and lots and lots of empty places.

    At least half of the retail space is basically dead.

    My old shopping mall filled the half-empy food court with a climbing gym for kids and a massive video arcade, which is cool. It’s more like a flea market than a mall now because the storefronts that are occupied are all local retailers.

    Oddly enough, the old cookie shop in the mall is still going strong and making the same great stuff. Apparently that place is timeless.
