My uncle managed the Westgate Mall in Akron for 11 years and what he said about the food court changed how I see all these dead malls

I paid $40 for a 'ghost mall' tour in Ohio and it was just a guy walking me past a boarded JCPenney

Can we talk about how I spent 3 weekends looking for the food court in a dead mall in Ohio?

Serious question, my flashlight died in the dark part of the Owings Mills mall and I had to feel my way out

Watched the Burlington Center mall in NJ get torn down in 2023 and I haven't taken a single photo of a dead mall since

Finally hit 30 malls on my dead mall list, and the guy at the Orange Julius stand in Santa Rosa was the only person who ever made it feel real

Spent $75 on a used drone for shooting dead mall interiors and it completely changed how I document these places

A guy at the flea market told me to shoot the ceiling tiles too, and it changed how I document malls

Hot take: I used to think malls died from online shopping, then a guy in the food court line at the Chesterfield Mall changed my mind
