I sometimes dream about shopping malls. They were a big deal when I was little, though not so much today. There's a website that tells you all about closed shopping malls and what's happened to their spaces!
I remember when every shopping mall had a bookstore. That would usually be the place I frequented most. Lately there have been fewer of them because of all the shakeouts and consolidations.
today many malls are under pressure because so much stuff is being bought online. I suppose you could look at the internet as a virtual supermall. But I'm happier when I can see and touch what I'm buying, and have staff in the flesh to deal with.
Someone said that mini-malls are in danger of disappearing. I'll believe that when I see it. Something about the mini-mall makes me recall my small-town youth.
