Meanwhile..at the mall

[Gracie]

Oh. Wait. Malls are going the way of newspapers. Pretty soon they will be like saloons of the old west. Ghostie shops.
Malls used to be THE place to go to hang out with friends, meet guys (or gals) and in general, be babysitters for tweens and teens. Now? They have social media and anything you need, you go to walmart, ebay or amazon online.

Progress continues. But it sure sucks for small biz owners and people who are always looking down at their smart phones instead of seeing the people in front of them.

Malls are the enemy of small bidness. They can't go away fast enough.

I don't know that they are going away -- we can but hope -- but I gotta say, the girl narrating that video is like the worst reader ever. I've heard paint drying that had more inflection in its voice.

I hated going to the mall. HATED it. Thank God the kids are haired over, grown and gone.

An American: let's go to the Mall.

A German: Vatz a Mahl?

Mal: why you talkin about me?!?!?

I only like the mall for certain things but most stores overcharge for their products and it's just not worth it.
