That fountain is the coolest thing at any mall in at least the last 15 years.

Going to the restroom to take a dump after browsing the damaged goods store, I look for a stall that doesn't have a glory hole, there are none.

I was in Ottawa last month for some reason and walked briefly through Rideau Centre. I ended up in front a shoe store specializing in individually wrapped sneakers selling for thousands of dollars and, upon realizing what this store sold and to whom it catered, I became nearly inconsolable.
Individually wrapped sneakers as in like selling one sneaker by itself?? :stare:

i haven't been to the rideau in over a decade but even then the only reasons to go were:

- getting your bus pass renewed
- going to/coming from the bus (rip)
- being a tourist at the byward market

After fueling up in the food court, whatever's still open- hide & seek!

Afterwards, we root around on the floor of the water fountain feature for any change people threw in after making a wish followed by rooting through the coin return slots in the arcade and underneath the machines (and between them and the wall) and play all the 4-player games until we get chased out or run out of money.

We are all wearing coats because the temperature in the promenade is the same as the outside winter air.

Western chinese/asian malls actually seem to still be doing ok. Probably because they're just filled with food/tea places rather than a lot of other crap.

Way back in 2010 or so I went to a mall in Shenzhen that was waaaaay fancy. Almost totally empty in the afternoon, but models hanging outside the elite fashion stores. It was eye opening.

They only wanna give me a buck seventy five in Dogecoin for my old Blackberry and if I want it back they have to mail it to me from Dubai for some reason.

When I worked at a store in the mall, it was the unspoken rule that the kiosk guys wouldn't bother you. You'd nod at each other as fellow brothers in the tedium of working a retail shift

White Flint Mall, 2001

I stood in this place, this mall in the middle of some beltway suburb .There was still footfall in those days but the mall felt doomed already even then, a great concrete ship marooned on an ice floe from a lost age. I was imagining how the wrecking ball would smash through these walls.

It's a barren field now; a failed contender for the amazon 2nd headquarter.

I have never had an issue with the kiosk people, hit them with a quick clear "not interested, thanks!" as soon as they start to pitch at me and they've never pushed it.

Abundance is the dullest desire.
I walk through Sears. One of only 13 locations remaining.

Most of the sections are closed off, including the entire basement and auto center. Displays have been spaced out from one another to make the inside look less empty.

Even McDonald's next door is closed. I'll have no problem finding my car in the empty parking lot.
