Lol fair. For me, the melancholy and sadness is part of the appeal. I kinda enjoy those feelings of sad nostalgia. I also like to be able to appreciate these beautiful, massive buildings before they get torn down or replaced with something else.
It is and it isn't. I find the decline of malls and their abandonment absolutely fascinating. Relics of their time before online shopping. From behemoths of capitalism to shells of their former selves. Hell anything abandoned is kind of cool. But malls kinda hit different.
