If you follow or look into this subculture on Instagram of kids in their 20s living their lives like it’s the 80s. They wear vintage 80 clothes and visit malls that have not been redesigned for the neon, the color, the fountains etc. They want mall culture back and I am with them in their views ( I’m a GEN X kid) look up @glitterwave80s @chasing80s @gracemarian and you will catch a glimpse of their desire for what we had. Everything is brown and grey now. Malls were an experience, a sense of community and a past time. Everyone is on the phone now. It’s financially easier to make everything the same I guess. But build it and they will come. Maybe they need to revisit the 80s and 90s and see what worked because I think there is a want for it.

I think we can’t go back. Let’s move forward. People don’t want to be in artificial environments that’s why cities have exploded.
I guess, but American Dream Mall is booming
Where did you get that info?
I’ll take it back, I’m going by the crowds I see. I do think there are lawsuits against them for the rides , etc
