my childhood/adolescent mall just got tore down recently. heartbreaking. i fear i was the last year/generation of kids spending time in malls. even it was seen as uncool by the time i was in 8th grade (we didn’t care). I’m so grateful for those times.

i worked in there in its last years when i had a second job at vstock, and it broke my damn heart seeing the emptiness . I was able to go to the arcade all the way up till it got bulldozed. they had a great membership, i’ll miss that arcade. old school. we went viral bc there was a santa clause that nobody went to.
