Not really. I spent countless hours at a mall as a kid - it was just where my parents would drop us off to waste some time while they had to go run errands.

- noobermin 6y agoYes, but you know that wasn't the intended purpose of malls, it was to get kids and adults in there because the longer they're there the most likely you'll spend money.
- smelendez 6y agoYeah, I think a critical part of their success was that they were fun. Look at photos of malls from the 80s and 90s. People were there to hang out, even to see and be seen, and of course they shopped while they were there.
- DangitBobby 6y agoMalls were definitely only for peddling Shit You Don't Need by the time I was old enough to frequent them. Nothing interesting, just overpriced stores and people yelling at you from kiosks trying to get you to buy a watch.
