It has everything. It has:

  • Giant 10 Commandments slab in the entryway
  • A declaration of war against birds
  • An old person's idea of the ideal zoomer store - a store just for taking selfies with random statues and backgrounds
  • A restaurant that serves homemade soups and cobblers (soft food is good for dentures)
  • A "WWII Museum" stocked by the guy down the street who has an alarming amount of Nazi war artifacts

A liminal space carved out of the carcass of 80s/90s consumerism. Some real twilight zone shit. A bizarre holographic projection of the past onto a more recent past onto the present.

    Still one if the most prophetic song lyrics I've ever heard, from a song that came out during the mid-90s peak of malls:

    The malls are the soon-to-be ghost towns. So long. Farewell. Goodbye.
