This is the type of shit they do at my local mall now that its not rly a place to shop anymore

@TianaHRR that's good

@TianaHRR @1djhelix what city is the mall in? still has a 90s aesthetic

@TianaHRR @1djhelix The Galleria is the BESTTTT

@TianaHRR i love food courts

@TianaHRR @1djhelix Can’t speak for elsewhere but one mall here in my city turned into a community college campus while another was transformed into a series of small mom and pop shops surrounding an ice rink because nobody wanted to get rid of that

@TianaHRR @1djhelix There's one near me like this. They hold mini anime,toy,and horror conventions all the time. There are also little shops that do niche stuff

@TianaHRR @1djhelix The mall in the town I live in is like this! Only a couple stores like a pawn shop and a thrift store but the food court is always in business and Saturdays there’s an organized flea market

@TianaHRR @1djhelix yours has a food court? The first sign of decay in one ofnthe malls near me was they closed down the food court

@TianaHRR @1djhelix I went to one in Florida like this that had the best pizza I've ever had in my life

@TianaHRR @1djhelix the mall in my college town still has some shops, but since its not that many anymore they host various pop-up markets and conventions throughout the building too! its really fun

@TianaHRR @1djhelix there's one in my area! it hosts conventions and is slowly turning into a more entertainment type place for small businesses :)

@TianaHRR @1djhelix there’s one like this where i used to live with only one dillard’s and nothing else. but it’s all still open, you can just go walk around through all the dead space. it’s weird as hell

@TianaHRR @1djhelix thats actually such a based way to redevelop a dying place

@TianaHRR @1djhelix Nah my hometown mall kinda has that vibe now (minus the knights)

@TianaHRR @1djhelix ours is dying but they often have brass concerts in them and the audience consists of almost completely 70+ year olds

@TianaHRR @1djhelix I had a local mall that was like that for a while but they eventually closed the whole thing cause it was literally sinking into the earth

@TianaHRR @1djhelix really glad to hear that tbh

@TianaHRR @1djhelix Rossis flea market is an abandon theater that does similar things
