The end of malls

   Have you noticed something depressing happening here? something that would make you feel sad?

             Back in the 80's they were popular, local hang outs, everywhere and teenagers would crave spending a day as well as their money in a mall.

It's true, I fear that by the end of the new year... most of the malls everywhere, will be gone.

     Some malls have survived like the King of Prussia mall in King of Prussia, PA and even the great American mall in St. Paul.

Back in the 80's malls became very popular. With the movie "Valley Girls" Malls were becoming the new trend, until Amazon came along.

   These movies would make girls sound stupid, using words like 'so' 'like' 'gag me with a spoon', most words only Valley people would know. But it all took place in a mall. Where they would snack on food, play video games, and spend a s**t ton of money on clothes.

   So, why is this trend dying?

   It could be the economy, or more people shopping on-line so they wouldn't have to set foot in a store. Not every mall is doomed to extinction, but the stores that are in the mall, might be.

  Some stores such as:

     *JCPenny
     *Seaers
     * K'Mart (although that's not in a mall, but still)
     *Music stores like Sam Goody
     * Lord and Taylor

Many stores are doomed to extinction and why, people shopping on-line? God only knows how much longer malls have.

   Amazed that some are still standing, and others are one.

Like drive-in theaters of yesteryear, malls might join them.... not many, but soon, everyone will be buying on line.
  So do we need pizza delivery drivers? Shopping malls? Grocery stores?


Who knows, all I know is everything from the past.. is being taken over by the future. The technology, everything that we feared...having stuff delivered to our door, to satisfy us. It seems that in the future, we'll no longer need a shopping mall.


  I miss the 80's, when everyone noticed malls being the new thing, and now... it's gone
