That sounds super cool! Arcade bars are always such a blast I'm surprised there's not more of them, or at least just arcades, given how popular they've become again.

You have a whole mall in your mall?

Meanwhile my local malls are just normal malls with normal mall stores. Yet they're thriving.

Keeping the design of the mall itself up-to-date goes a long way. The ones in my city that were stuck in the 80s and 90s all failed.

There's only one mall that I know of that's dying in Metro Detroit. The rest of them are all fine and healthy. The one that's dying didn't even try to stay afloat it seems like.

My local mall did most of this... but all as cheaply and mechanically as possible. No one goes to the arcade because the games aren't good, it's too expensive, the setup is very much an after thought, and it's not designed in any way to attract people. There's a shooting gallery thing with airsoft, again it's over priced so no one goes to it. We had a sweet antique store in ours when I was a kid with a whole themed hallway that people from this city still frequently reminisce about, but now it's just empty white halls, closed stores and dark dead ends. It's very much a conservatives attempt to keep things running without investing too much.

Right next to the crack pipes it also sells

I’m pretty sure Spencer’s is like a malls heart. It would instantly die if removed.

And makes the vastly inferior microblogging version of xvideos sound much better than it is.

I love watching videos of people exploring dead malls. It's so fascinating.

Twitter has historically been a place where news organisations, companies, government organisations, etc posted information and announcements, including very important ones.
