I was just thinking about that. Wal-Mart pretty much is destroying all the fun of malls. When you go into a Wal-Mart it's bland and boring. In a mall, you wanna live. At Wal-Mart they want you to be 6 ft. tall, have blond hair and blue eyes, and say Heil!!! all the time.
it looks like my home town wheres theres nothing in it,,,the down town area where I live has no bus no train no hardware store no cab nothing but 2 resale shops and a tiny pet store and one flower shop,,thats it,,not even a movie theater but we do have 4 movie theaters but there all borded up,,ever since chunute AFB closed up in 1990 everything went with it,,the old base here looks like a military junk yard,,most of the buildngs are fallling down,,,
Oh I love quiet and spacious wastelands - I could sit around on any of them and stare into the abundant space for hours!! And the quiet sky, where my mother Venus looks over me.
It's not all because of WalMart. Most of it is because of low land value, bad location Downtown Detroit for example, etc. No mentally sound person should jump to conclusions that the big corporations are responsible for everything.
@MIKON8ERISBACK There are MANY reasons. Wal-Mart and Best Buy are among them, and we'd be fools not to count them as PART of the issue, but there's also online shopping (both digital and mail-order), bad locations as you mentioned, opening of new malls (people are naturally attracted to newer things), the poor selection of stores in a mall... There's so many reasons for malls to close. Almost as many as there are for malls to open. *Laughs*
@Mercury144 Maybe I am too much of a 80's child, but there is a sense of atmosphere. "Going to the mall!" was part of a lot of teen girls' vocab back then. I don't have clients for today, so guess what? LOL!!
Wal-Mart sucks ass! In GA, All Wal-Marts are full of illegals. Illegal Saturday night date. Take your seniorita to the buffet. Stuff your gut. Then it's off to Wal-Mart, and just hang out all night.
It isn't only Wal-Mart's fault. The mega-national companies which own them won't allow mom and pop stores, and if they do - they want thousands for rent per month.
Closing down strip malls? Might be the only good thing WalMart has ever done. Too bad it takes all the real businesses down with it. Kind of like burning your house down, with the kids inside, to get the fleas out of the living room carpet.
I watched a small strip mall being built in Rockford, IL and three years later it's completely empty ---not that people moved out, no one ever even moved in!!!
Its not Walmart.. Its the ease of shopping online. I dont go to malls anymore because I can get what I want online... I think that times have changed. Malls are the thing of the past.
it's the complete opposite in the cities. Here in Vegas theres a strip mall on every corner and bigger malls every 7 blocks. I have been in a small town where they only have a walmart. They built a small strip mall and within a year all the stores were closed down, I defanatly do not miss small towns.
that's not techically a mall, more of a strip mall, and anyways malls failing is not always due to walmart, there also the ecomony to factor into it, as welll as location of the area, age of the mall, any new shopping places that have poped up, so theres more facotrs than just walmart to consoder...
Thanks for the video. Really-not being sarcastic or anything ;D.
Wal-Mart is fucking all of us up once again. Our mall has gone out of business almost, one store left-- the Bon Ton.
We need to bring these malls back! There are employers in those malls who are suffering because there is less or no income for them (although, they have moved to less fortunate locations).!
Hey guy, where are you? What mall?

Who shops at the mall? Want to pay to much for your shit? Go to the mall!
Malls generally didn't sell toilet paper, deodorant, soap and rope, the stuff that made Wal-Mart famous.
The sold CDs (iTunes killed the mall!), books (Amazon killed the mall!), jewelry (Jared killed the mall!) and clothes (Eddie Bauer killed the mall!)
The internet showed us just how bad we were getting ripped off at the mall.
You shouldn't be surprised the malls are closing.

Don't blame Wal-Mart or it's ilk, on-line and mail-order shopping have helped as well. I am sorry, but nothing competes with "going to the mall".

@scorpietta Amazon, eBay, bunch of other sites. While it may be more convenient ordering online, I myself prefer going to the mall instead.

I could get an idea of why is empty, but I want to hear the resident's point of view of why it is like this there and if Wal-Mart is the culprit.

Yet for some reason developer's feel the need to keep building new strip malls, instead of trying to revitalize the old ones into something new.
