When I lived in the US (Austin,TX) for a year back in 1991-92 I loved going to the malls. Highland Mall, Barton Creek Mall and all the others in the area and neighboring cities. Also all the times I have been back road-trip’ing the US malls has been a great evening entertainment. Just the idea that all those malls I have visited across the US is slowly disappearing is strange to me. For me it’s a part of the American lifestyle and that people stopped going to them is hard to see. But also in the country I live the malls are getting fewer and fewer customers but not in the way it leads to a dead mall trend yet.

I've seen lots of forlorn shopping centers in small towns, often looking stuck in time. Plus now so many of the stores I frequented as a kid on shopping trips with my mom (especially JCPenney, also Sears) are closing. I can't think of a specific mall where I got my start, I've always had an interest in buildings past their heyday.
