Topic: Attn USAmericans. Is it true the traditional American shopping mall is dying out?
Anonymous A started this discussion 10 years ago #52,255
I heard that the traditional American shopping mall like the ones we saw in the movies from the 80's and 90's are dying out which seems to to a non USAmerican because large shopping malls are being built up all over the world.

I'm sorry, but the second half of your statement fell apart. I am unable to determine what the purpose of the post was, and as a result am unable to engage in the discussion you may have intended for me to start. Please try again later.

No, it is because you are seemingly incapable of proofreading your work. Clearly you are not fit to handle the responsibilities associated with being a Minichan contributor.

indoor malls seem to be fine but there's not a place in this country that I haven't seen a strip mall with most of the businesses closing and/or getting replaced by chains

In defense of strip malls. When I am looking for an ethnic restaurant, for say Pho or Thai or Korean food. Its always going to be located in a strip mall. Regular malls have fast food but from my experience never anything special. Hot dog on a stick etc Yuck.

> a Chinese restaurant
Point is the A. Not a choice. In my under 20 mile zone and I am not kidding. There are 100 plus strip malls (guestiment) Each of those strip malls have competing Chinese restaurants. Each has multiple choices of Thai or Korean. One Chinese place might be mostly Diem Sums. Next door with a different owner its Hong Kong style Sea Food. Next door to that its Schezuan. Across the street Japanese market in a strip mall.
You have a Mall that supplies Indians? How much do they cost and do they do housework or cooking?

the Asian strip mall in my area is consistently busy and I've never seen a business there close
Wait just one. a fish store
But it's a big strip mall and it does very well and that's where i go for pho and there's this Chinese run Japanese style ramen place that has more authentic Japanese food than most of the stupid sushi bars around

Down this way Ramen places are springing up almost every month. Even one and I have not tried this place yet because well because of this
http://www.thewhetnoodle.com/
Its about 15 miles North of me - "DISCLAIMER: The Whet Noodle is not a traditional ramen house. We ask that you keep an open mind and sense of humor."
Damn difficult for me to break from tradition and have a sense of humor about Ramen - I do at home with the packaged stuff by adding a world of stuff to the pot - Veggies n left over meats in frig - My last Garbage Ramen was beyond amazing but it was loaded with left over chicken and Chinese bar-b-Q roast pork and Fried shrimp with heads still on -
Hummmmmmm just maybe given GF's want something special for dinner b4 our planned evening 2nite - Yep ok mind is made up and will show them the web site - "PICK YOUR BROTH"
Duck shoyu Hope to see if they can toss in some Duck bits in the mix
AH Duck is an option for the meat - Duck $12.00 for a bowl of Ramen

Funny thing about how information and I mean all information on Planet Earth is coalesced. Its best done with multiple people putting A+B+C+ together.
And sometimes it comes with patience and sometimes with just pure dumb luck. OR in one imfamous case a poster here used a web site that had a set of forums. One that advertised self as totally Mod free. So sure it ended up with illegal content. So owners of the web site to protect selves or so they thought (Dumb of them) They showed the IP of each poster in full view - Well a very low IQ person that posts here apparently had no clue wot those sets of number meant - person kept changing the moniker YET the numbers remained the same - And well with his IP available and on a search - Yep
So anyway - Wot it takes is HELP - Its just no fun to have to do all the work - Takes a TEAM. Team work is good.
Not 2 many minutes left 2day to play and multi-task with work - Big evening plans - Going to try this quirky Ramen and if it does NOT live up to reviews WE have a back up - Can just push food aside and in less than 5 minutes end up at a Pho place we enjoy - No time for bad food in my life - No way to start early evening eating just cause it was paid for
Guess you have no clue how people share - Even in email- Even stuff I wood NEVER post cause its just so fucking sad - Stuff frankly I wish I had not been told and it was person to person not some 2nd hand stuff.

I think Sears exists outside of malls, but due to the size and plain look of their buildings, they may appear to be part of a mall.

Sears are so damn ugly. Been a few years since I have been inside one. For a couple of recent lessees of a house and a condo I use as the beginning of my Trump style real estate empire - I did buy kitchen appliances via web and the total order included free delivery and of course set up. Never had to step into the store. One Frig on delivery a month later - failed to freeze ice cubes. One call and Sears came out and decided to replace the frig with a new one because cost of fixing was more than just putting in a new one.
My lessee called me to tell me they changed the order with a check up front to sears for a more expensive model. So I made out cause of course its still my property when they decide to leave.
Based on my last in store visit to Sears I said to self - This company going to be out of biz quickly - Death will come to them but slowly it seems.

Idk, I still see plenty of malls thriving. Although since this is a touristy state, it's probably not the best indicator.
