>comfiest
What do you find comfy in a ugly place filled to the brim of senile geriatrics, teens that smell piss and moms with their bewildered kids?

The mall was my second home when I was a kid in the 90s. I have fond memories of going there with my grandmother.

...

blacks ruin everything

White people with guns
Seriously I can’t walk in those places without fearing for my life every time I see a white boy staring at happy couples walk past him

Online shopping

Duh

>Again the eternal burger wasting his money on useless things so he have to pay 25% interest on his mortgage.

niggers and shitskins hang out their and their breeder females deposit their kids there since they don't work and can't afford daycare or their kids got kicked out of daycare, so harrassing wagecucks is the new entertainment for them. Why any white would be in retail in an area below 90% white is baffling.

In third world countries they are still very popular

geeeee, i wonder...
what is " AMAZON".

people stopped going to my local mall after a bunch of black teenagers got in a huge fight in the food court. RIP

This is the actual and most accurate answer

it was a slow death for the one here, but it was niggers that just killed it. stealing, fights, generally thuggery, scaring off people who actually show up to shop while the cucked mall security never did anything. fast forward ten years it's pretty much closed down. Niggers still go there, and just stand around. Not like they have to go to work or anything.

>Schizophrenic retard

Niggers, niggers ruin everything. Why go to a store surrounded by niggers when you can shop on your phone on the sofa as your wife blows you with Hulu playing in the background?

We have this thread daily.

Having to deal with this kind of bullshit when you go shopping when you just go online.

This is probably it, but think about why people prefer shopping online nowadays. Is it really because of minorities?

Because the Internet replaced the necessity to have all your shops in one place

Same here. Now the only malls people go to are the ourdoor malls in the suburbs. I wouldn’t go into one of the city malls without packing heat.

>wasting his money
>his money
>his

I'll tell you why.

If I go into Ace Hardware, the mall, any brick and mortar store, I have no idea what I'm getting.

Suppose I buy a shovel. How do I know it's a good shovel?

If I buy a shovel on Amazon, there's a thousand reviews that will tell me everything I want to know.

Does it rust easily? How's the handle? Is it strong? Does the blade get fucked up when you hit a rock? There's so much information to sift through to make sure you get a good fucking shovel.

So why would I go to our neighborhood Ace Hardware and pick up some Ace brand shovel, and have absolutely no idea what the quality of the shovel will be, when i can go on Amazon and buy a shovel I am reasonably certain I will be happy with?

And the same goes with every type of product.

Western PA here

Who do you think ruined the mall experience for everyone else? Not naggers, that's for sure.

There are three big malls where I live. One is on the verge of closing. One has been declining ever since there was a huge fight between some black teens and some black 19 year old shot and injured some people. The other is actually doing really well. Probably because it's in a area with a huge upper middle class population.

These guys on youtube go around exploring dead malls. its really interesting

You never said you were buying books.
Also, I have a three bookcase filled to the brim with great books.

Not only that, but they have about 30 other brands of shovels for 3/4 the price. Plus, they have all that shit that RadioShack doesn't have.

Only shit I buy in person are shoes and shit I need on the spot.

I'd gladly still go to the mall if it didn't get ruined by jamal and friends

I love Dan. Watch his videos all the time.

How do we combat the minority problem and restore shopping malls to their former glory?

Internet shopping and blacks

Pretty much this.

Only reason left to go to malls is if you need an item pretty much on the very day you buy it.

Online shopping.

Why the fuck would I drive 20m to the mall to look at shirts when I can do the same with a 20s walk to my computer?
It is inconvenient to go physical shopping anymore when people have so much more going on in life.

Right in the area myself to. Friend actually new the kid who did that shit. It was over some stupid shit, it was just random chimp shit.

Another kid got shot in a neighborhood down by the section 8 near the highschool over a pair of Jordan's. Think they were like 300 dollars... kek.

Niggers

Read this forum, its nigerian niggertry

nairaland.com/crime

What's going on in their lives that they can't take one day off to go shopping at their local mall?

Sometimes for jackets and shit I like to go try them on and browse stores then just buy it online.

...

Various government programs cause the net effect of buildings being built to last ~20 years, after which they're considered depreciated. Once a business in one of these buildings loses its artificial revenue boost from the tax offset, there is no more point to operating it. The normal process of exploiting these policies since WW2 has been to abandon the old building and move to a new one further from the central city, on the suburban frontier, where consumers are also being incentivized to live due to Interstate highway construction and the federal mortgage tax deduction.

All of these incentives are still in place, but the big-box and mall chain retailers can no longer exploit them effectively due to a variety of social shifts. First, the current generation of prospective suburban home buyers can't afford to buy homes or cars, so the consumers aren't where they need to be. Second, online shopping has been undermining the popularity of the anchor stores that draw people into malls. This effect has been overstated, but it's real. Finally, private equity firms have discovered that they can make a large short-term profit by buying up retailers investors have lost confidence in and selling off their assets, even if the retailer was still profitable. This is where Amazon is killing retail: investors would rather buy something with a possible 30x upside than own a company that is stable but not growing exponentially.

>Near the high school

Gateway senior high?

Whites went to malls to interact with other whites. There was no segregation so eventually niggers and hispanics swarmed them en masse to find white women. Whites stopped going. Nobody wants to be around non-whites.

Oh you're right, we should get back to the CBTS threads. It's good bread you faggot.

>why are malls dying

Capitalism.

i don't know but I miss mall music stores

>Literally have to pay people to live in Alaska

Yep, the white section 8 apartments. Lotta fucking blacks. Just shot him dead and threw him on the sidewalk. Look up the police report, you might be able to find it. It was an official statement he was shot over Jordan's. Kek.

Welfare nigs everywhere. Prices are a rip off. Amazon and ebay prices 90% of the time are rip off too check aliexpress.

>their

Diversity

welcome to minnesota

I'm not racist or anything, but that's disgusting.

Christ, is that really MN? I always that part of the nation was full of white people of Scandinavian or German ancestry.

It looks like an outdoor flea market with all the brightly colored tents
They probably all have fleas too

>I'm not racist

Cuck.

>I’m not racist
Why the fuck not faggot

Rude.

Main reason I shop online is because I can't find what I want at stores anymore. If there was a store close by with a good entertainment section I'd just go there and save on shipping. But no they have to keep closing them down.

Racism requires hate. Hate requires energy. I'd rather not waste it on these people. As long as they stay away from me, I'm good.

I miss the old hot topic, they actually had some interesting clothes and freaks in them, now it's shitty and full of hipster niggers.

>As long as my wife’s bull doesn’t cum inside of her, I’m good.

There's a mall in my town (duh).
95% of the stores are fashion, trying to drain money from bored women.

There's your answer.

serious question, what kind of faggot consistently posts threads about malls dying, like anyone seriously gives a fuck about malls dying. malls were always dumb. if you can't figure out what is making them close, you are most likely a high school dropout incapable of considering the market

Why don't you care?

I was there a decade ago. Minneapolis did have a large Muslim population, but they weren't literally 100% of the population. Was this a special Muslim holiday or something?

That's the indoor theme park

also, even if there were 0 minorities, online shopping would still beat out malls. quit being a retard.

Everyone does their shopping online now

online shopping

maybe check back in a year or 2 after net neutrality passes.

Amazon, jews and niggers

because i'm a businessman, not a nostalgic faggot. nobody gives a shit about your fond memories.

>going outside

It's not about the time, it's about not wanting to spend time around the sub-humans that inhabit the mall.

>i'm a business man
>posting on Sup Forums
You must be a shitty one.

Amazon opens in Australia in about 1 month. Apparently it causes a lot of malls to close.

Maybe when you were a kid they were magical in your eyes but later you could see how only white trash spent time there and nowadays only refugees loiter around doing nothing but scaring people in huge mobs and touching white trash girls who also spend time there.

go back to smoking weed on the government dole, and being a nostalgic backwards looking faggot.

You honestly wouldn't be sad at all if malls suddenly stopped existing forever?

Niggers started using malls as weekend day care for their feral niglets. They steal, don't spend any money and scare away paying customers. The best time to go to a mall is on a Tuesday at 11am

>filename

Probably got it confused with the old Electronics Boutique.

not even a little, do you ever stop and ask yourself "what is wrong with me that i'm nostalgic for a shopping center"

keep looking backwards tho, i'm sure it's great

I don't smoke weed and i'm not being nostalgic?

"i miss the old hot topic"

fgt

I think you're lying. Come on, user. Admit it. You love shopping malls and want them to return to their former glory.

The one I used to go to in Boca Raton is till thriving, so is the "Gardens Mall" in Palm Beach Gardens Fl.

I guess there is some merit to the black people ruin everything meme. The places I mention are white as fuck.

>"what is wrong with me that i'm nostalgic for a shopping center"

For a lot of Americans, indoor shopping malls were the only public space in their communities.
Sure they cannibalized parks, public squares, and your local Main Street, but that happened before most of us were born. With malls going away, there's no clear replacement for a public forum, except for weird, attenuated interaction on online message boards and social media.

>i miss something therefore I have been dragging on for days/years about wanting it back
Dumbass

i want to see them all turn into distribution centers for drone delivery of product

dead malls look great places to skate, although I ghuess you'd need to sweep up some

This user gets it.

Malls were cancer to begin with

>Niggers still go there, and just stand around.

really makes you think

i feel this way about video rental stores and actually want to start one up again, but I lack the capital to do right now.

I think video rental stores where you could go talk to some of the employees about movies, see your neighbours there, buy your snacks, are sorely sorely missed social apparatuses.

He's a prophet.

yah, they're so missed that people stopped using them as soon as they fucking could. jesus.

jesus fucking christ what the hell happened to minnesota?

With everyone shopping online, they've kinda become irrelevant. Of course, once net neutrality is repealed that'll all become null and void, but at the current moment, that's why.

Do it. Don't let your dreams be dreams. Just. Do it.

It's only because they continuously gouged and mismanaged pricing and stock. Also, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.

>Suppose I buy a shovel. How do I know it's a good shovel?

You want all the answers handed to you in life from other people, instead of having to figure it out yourself.

Be a big boy and go buy a shovel that you have no idea whether it's good or bad. Actually take the risk yourself of making the wrong decision without having any information, instead of wanting other people to do it for you all the time.

Good advice. That's what gives you experience.
