There's a dying mall pretty close to me (about a 30 minute drive or a 1 hour bus ride, further away from the one that I usually go to closer to home that seems to be doing alright in direct contrast to the dying one).
I visit that one sometimes (as I have all throughout my childhood), though it feels like a ghost town nowadays compared to how it did 10 years ago (hell, it was still less vacant 5 years ago compared to now). There are a lot of store vacancies, only 3 restaurants at the food court (where hardly anybody goes nowadays), not many other people walking around, and hell, they even shut down the water fountains that used to be by the elevators on the 1st floor. It feels a lot different walking in there now compared to how it did during my childhood and it's sad to think about.
I've taken my digital camera and captured some photos and videos of that mall for future reference if/when the ongoing retail apocalypse finally sends that mall all the way into its grave, as it already has with plenty of other malls across the US since the 2010s. The COVID-19 pandemic also didn't help here as that was yet another driving force in the retail apocalypse (and seems to have been the final nail in the coffin for many already dying businesses that were struggling prior to March 2020).
