      In 2,000 years, nobody will remember that malls ever existed. "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind" (Isaiah 65:17).

    Sigh... I used to walk to this mall from my house in Massapequa Park often back in the 90's and early 2000's. To be honest I'm surprised there's still 2 stores left in there. I left NY about 10 years ago. By that time the mall was clearly going downhill fast like any other mall in the country. I met Santa Claus there once when I was like 5 or 6 years old lol. At one time this mall had a movie theater and years later a Walmart in it. That made it unique.

    I would never call Sunrise Mall bustling in the last 10-15 years. If people need to shop go to Deer Park, Whitman, or Roosevelt Malls.

    • @CH-fp2mp
      @CH-fp2mp 9 дней назад +1

      Yes, I noticed that Sunrise really fell off once the Deer Park outlets were built and Walt Whitman was remodeled.

    Time for a real owner to care for this property.
    No redevelopment, but a good cleaning is in order.
    I am going to consider creating a serious campaign to claim sunrise mall, and I promise to anyone, if I am made the new owner of this mall, I will do the following.
    1. Make mall space cheap again
    2. Clean the mall out
    3. Not let go of this property's history and existence like what blumenfeld and regency centers did to sun vet mall in Holbrook.
    4. Prevent retail theft fast so businesses in this mall can survive as well as added security.
    Time to make this a powerful political case.

    Just stop buying from Amazon. Problem solved. Once Amazon is the only option in town, Amazon will jack up their prices with no limit. That’s the same model as Uber & Netflix etc.
