Another question, what happened to malls? Why are they all disappearing? I hate the outdoor shopping complexes because you know nothing makes he happier than either sweating my ass off or freezing to go shop.

I just got mad that a survey with the title "answer questions and WRITE A TEXT" had a written portion, so as you can see, my attention to detail today is just way off the charts.

Video games are a waste of time.

It's one thing if you always thought that...it's another when it was one of your main hobbies to all of the sudden act like it's awful.

We have three malls near where I live and two are utter garbage and the "good" one has a few more stores, but mostly crap. We have a few areas that are more in the style of strip malls with Kohls, and Barnes and Noble, and Target and all the major stores, but nothing that compares to the malls in the 90s.

developers want to build high rise million dollar condos, also the mall was the place to be growing up in the 70s to 90s
best place to check out girls get gag gifts, incense and posters at Spencer's, eat with many different choices of places and drink Orange Julius or strawberry which was my favorite :)

Low-end malls are dying. High-end malls are alive and doing well.

Loved Strawberry Julius! The local DQ added in Orange Julius but only has strawberry-banana. WHY?

He's also become super sexist...his ex wife cheated on him and is in general kinda crazy so now he just thinks all women suck and wants to be by himself.

Nothing wrong with being a strong independent man! xD

Edit: I guess now that I think about it he is still working on the independent part...

There's a mall by me...but several well thought of malls around me have died.

People blame it on "online shopping" are people really so lazy they can't leave their houses?
