We walked around, we had dinner. We saw friends. We made new friends. The mrmall was a gathering place. It was there for so many years. We tend to think it still is, but it isn't. And kids today, they don't care about the mall. If you say mall rats, they don't know what that is. Mrmall rats are gone

But I remember, like, as a kid, just being so wide eyed and just having so much fun and loving this place of community, which, of course, it's capitalistic, but it has this sort of, like, liminal quality to it where, yeah, you could see, I remember seeing the teenagers hanging out, and there was something really fun and free about it, too. So, yeah, I'm really excited to hear your stories about the mall
I like how you fashioned this story about the mall. For many of us who grew up in the last three decades, the mall was a social place. So thanks for bringing this story to light. Deborah Weller's storyteller

For cheaper booths, the mall stuff, the guys who are starting out, who looked from the outside of the hallways in the mall, looking inside. I missed those conversations. I missed those people, and I missed the convenience of being able to see that many slices of life simultaneously. I do like, it was a whole echo cosm of experience and then just life. I can't wait to hear more about all your man stories in the mall, man
However, I don't know whether there's the same amount of stores there or whatnot, but I could tell you that there's a mall here where we live, my wife and I, here in Georgia, and in our area of the world where we live in, it's called North Point Mall. And when we moved here ten years ago, it was still vibrant, it was still active
