CLOSED! Iconic Mall Store Nostalgia
Oct 11, 2024
A trip to the mall was usually the highlight of the weekend. The mall had everything—from our favorite stores, to the food court, movie theaters and arcades. It was always buzzing with people, the halls filled with the happy sounds of shopping. So, let’s take a look back at all the stores that made the mall so special, because they are now gone forever.

The mall as we knew it is dead.
For several reasons. First, a mall requires certain decorum and etiquette - that is, patrons who control their own behavior in public. The mall replaced the Town Square or the City Center district, as, with the Frankfurt School's Social-Engineering in the 1960s, made urban centers, filled with low-education people, often immigrants or minorities...made those places dangerous. Watts; Hough; Chicago 1968.
Malls were put up in suburban districts. ALTHOUGH they were ostensibly open to everyone, including minorities who had no plan to actually patronize stores...the reality was, even gangbangahs with their pants at half-mast, weren't going to endure a two-hour bus ride to go to the mall and act out. They had no plans to act out - it was just (expletive)s being (expletive)s.
So, for a time, the strategy worked. Downtown shopping districts withered and died. Old strip shopping centers deteriorated and became filled with second-rate stores. The malls thrived.
THAT ended with the new (Frankfurt School's) push for "fair" housing. If the decent people stay far from the projects, then LET'S BRING THE PROJECTS TO THEM. Suburbs in many cities were destroyed that way. I know well of Parma, Ohio; Brook Park, Ohio; North Olmsted, Ohio...the locale of that toddler-stabbing in a grocery store a few months back.
So now the malls are no longer safe - the scum has been planted in subsidized housing in decent-people's midst. SHOPPING is no longer safe - and at times was ungodly annoying, with Face-Diaper DIktats.
Jeff...what's his name, Bozos?...figured a way to cash in on it. He wanted to create an online bookstore. Instead, he became the world's China-Mart drop-shipper. Everything that JunkO Bros has in stock, Amazon has, cheaper. Delivered by UPS workers, who now have to work 14-hour days. Or by Amazon's own drivers, who have GPS route maps in their native tongues...since they no-speek Engrish.
Nope, no moar malls. Soon, no moar America.
Thank the Frankfurt School; thank the Ivy League schools that variously, took the Frankfurt School in, and/or placed its adherents in the faculty.
Thank the Circle-D, who embraced this nihilistic culture dismantling (Cloward and Piven, among many others)
And talk, in quiet tones, night, of the time when men were free. (Apologies to Ronald Reagan).
