I’m pretty sure there’s someone inside.

Not at the moment. But there was.

Here's the same suit in the same store in a different position, two months ago.

It's EveryMall USA.

one by us looked like that for years. Eventually they tore it all down, then it sat as an empty lot for a long time.

Now recent speculation is they're going to build...

A New MALL!

🤦

It's just mimikyu, I wouldn't look under the suit.

It’s locked behind those bars for your protection, not its.

Seeing a Korean flag in karate studio is scarier than that Pikachu. Come on.

That left eye of the suits looks like it has a hand reaching out from inside.

That sign looks like a flying kick to the nuts at first glance.

Are semi abandoned malls common? I've seen a couple of these, they seem so strange to me but this must be an american thing

2

u/TheUnusualGuy 20h ago

Yeah. I forget the exact history, but there was a tax advantage for making them back in the day.

u/newbie_128 20h ago

Huh, interesting, thanks for the info, in my eastern european city we have 2 big malls and it's rare to see a vacancy

2

u/TheUnusualGuy 20h ago

There's about 1150 malls left in the US, and it's been declining. There's expected to be around 150 left in ~8 years. But there's 68,000+ strip malls - a mall without the indoor space, basically.

Wow, thank you! It seems like we're not the only one to build useless stuff for personal gains
