I actually really love department stores.

Wish there was a mall still near by me. I really love the vibes of a mall with the echoey music. I’d probably go on a trip to Minneapolis just to vibe at mall of America lmao.
- I have at least three near me. I intend to go next month, to get a new iPhone. So yeah, every 2-5 years; I’m not their number one customer
  
  I have one near me. I took my kid there because he was really curious about what it's like inside malls. That was some depressing shit. Any mid-2000s nostalgia was eclipse by the zombie apocalypse feel of the place.
  
  That is how I felt at my local mall a few years ago during Christmas season.. it was soooo blighted. The floors were not polished, there was not the atmosphere one who grew up in mall culture from the 80s during Christmas that would be accustomed to.. I mean, half the doors didn't work automatically like they used to and half the shops were empty.
  
  When I last went Christmas shopping at a mall, it really wasn’t even worth going. It was sad, as you said but I also didn’t find anything relevant at a price I would pay. It was all sad and pointless
  It’s interesting in an unfortunate way that my kid was lamenting having no place to hang out with his buddies. Malls used to attract teens, to the point where their previous hangouts are gone. Now there’s nothing
- MOA is fantastic and still very populated.
  Me and the fam go there a few times a month just to walk and have lunch. Great place for summer when it’s too hot or raining out, great for winter when it’s too cold out.
