Haunting and awesome! I love places like this! I wish you could go in to the theatre... spooky!

this reminds me of some of the malls i went to as a kid. having moved away from the area (and, in general, detesting malls) i have rarely gone into any of the ones i wandered as a kid, but it's still close enough to where i grew up to strike a nerve.

i don't know how or why consumer tastes change enough to kill off a mall. it feels like there must be some mass shift in consciousness that takes place while we're sleeping for it to happen this thoroughly.
