Deadmalls website

I used to goto Windsor park mall as a kid, great pizza place, movie theatre with arcade and stores like montgomery wards which sold toys and games. I was a little sad to hear that the mall closed down. I never knew it was closed until I saw it on this website.

Los Arcos Mall

That place was a huge part of my childhood.

I wonder how much money I threw away in the arcade there XD

Beloit Mall or Machesney Park Mall are both malls that I hung out at that are mostly or completely dead.

In New Jersey, I think the downfall of some of the malls has to do with increased public bus service to the malls. When I was growing up, Moorestown was a fairly upper-class mall, serving the relatively wealthy people in the area. Then I remember hearing about how the bus service was going to be increased from Camden, "bringing in additional revenue". What it brought it was an undesirable element. People from Camden are not like people from Moorestown. They're usually dressed like thugs, strutting around the mall like they're limping, being loud and obnoxious in an otherwise calm place. What made it really bad is that when you go in the side entrance, where you used to have kids hanging out (making it a popular spot) you now had a bunch of Camden people standing around outside waiting for the bus. I personally didn't want to be around such filth, so I stopped going for the most part, just as others did.

Soon the place started to go downhill. The more wealthy people chose to go elsewhere, they didn't want to be around ghetto people. Now the mall is only a fraction of what it used to be. It used to be much nicer and cleaner.

QFT. They also put in a Vans skate park which attracted all the mall rates and gothic kids. The mall is around one of the nicest areas to live in the country (moorestown, medford, mount laurel). Where do you live 91tiz?

I live near Burlington.

I actually don't mind that Vans-goers, since their parents usually have money and they contribute to the area. But the people from Camden, they cause problems.

Odd, one of the malls that I thought would be there isn't.
Northcross Mall in Austin, TX. Has been on life support for years, yet is somehow still open.

A lot of those malls on that site are still open.

Just one in my whole state.

The last time I was there was several years ago when I was visiting some friends, and we were participating in a scavenger hunt.

Yes I realize that, but this one has been on deaths door since I was a kid... maybe it is undead... zombie mall!

Both of the malls we have are still open, although one of them is more of a senior citizen walking track than a mall.
