is it not as popular as it once was?


Everytime i go into one i dont see any mall rats and its usually
dead.

It's still pretty packed where I go

Online shopping happened.

What kind of generalized mess?

how

Online shopping and stores that kids don't frequent. Don't know how old you are but i don't frequent malls much unless im shopping for someone. You'll find me at places like Men's Warehouse, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, etc. Adult shopping pretty much

What? There's so many more people then there used to be when I was a child.

Depends on what time and day you go

The rent is too damn high to be out shopping.

maybe the area's poor and they're trying to save money

im 26

The mall is still pretty popular where I live.

I'd pay for Italy to have malls like in America so everyone there should be forced to go once a week.

Malls here are really crowded all the time

I feel the same way! It really depends on which mall though.

the malls in big cities are still very busy whenever I go

Lol the malls around here are still always pretty packed, esp on weekends where its pretty much impossible to get a parking spot.
Maybe you're just going to the wrong places.

They're still popular in suburban areas but the concept is dying for some reason.

In a lot of countries with booming development humungous malls have been built, only for a majority vacancy rate
