history: Anytime I see a mall, I get nostalgic about all the times going there to play in the arcade.  Good Ole' Days. Whenever I drive past malls_comma_ I always get nostalgic about all the times going there as a kid to play in the arcade. I can relate. I wish I still enjoyed them as much as I did way back then. Now I'm either out of place of it's a ghost town. Yeah! It's weird_comma_ malls feel like ghost towns_comma_ nothing like they were in the 90's.
current: I live in a very large city on the east coast. We have one mall here called The King of Prussia Mall. It's the 2nd largest in the USA. Any time you go it's packed but if you drive 15 minutes to any of the other malls around it they are sad. Half the stores closed and no people.
next: I wonder if eventually they will all die and disappear.  They seem outdated.
