I remember when this place first opened and I was Christmas shopping there! So crowded and lively, so sad to see it this way. I don't live to far away but its been a couple years since I have visited this mall. I don't know if it can be saved but it would be nice to see it full again.
Late stage capitalism on full show. Big old empty buildings, with no one to use them. No one can afford to be there, presumably because e-commerce has become so efficient it undercuts all of their in person sales. What’s the point of maintaining a physical presence if you make all your money from the internet. It’s sad really, for nostalgic types and for people who remember this way of life. But for many in rural areas, this kind of thing is dying. And I don’t know if there’s anyway to protect it :(
I know the owners. Trust me even though it looks like this they ain't losing money. Used to be booming but this is Ashtabula in a nutshell. Our county is a dump. It sucks but what are you gonna do?

I thought RadioShacks weren’t a thing anymore. 😳 this is indeed a mall of the past. Very cool
Same, I was shocked when I saw that!
