Went back to the old mall in Columbus last weekend and found my favorite pizza place was just a dusty shell

I walked past where the Sbarro used to be and could still smell the pepperoni even though it's been closed for five years, anyone else get weird sensory flashbacks like that in dead food courts?

Disagree completely, that smell is just stale grease and bad memories. Those old food courts are depressing time capsules where even the good places were never actually that good.

My first food court job taught me that the grease smell never washes out of your clothes no matter how many times you try.
