If malls continue to shut down and decay over the next twenty years, someone should turn them into retirement communities for GenX and Millennials.

Imagine apartments built into what used to be department stores, (Oh, you're JC Penny 203? I'm at Sears 106). Get those old arcades up and running. Set up meal stations at the food court. Once people actually live there, stores will start to move back in.

If I'm unable to finish my life in my own home, that doesn't sound like a terrible option.

Dibs on Spencers!

Have you been in a Spencer's recently? Remember the skeezy area in the back? That's now the whole thing.

Last time I was in one it was all Blacklights and shit that was cool when you were stoned lol.

Spensors was always an excuse to put a sex toy store in a shopping mall.
