It was a completely different world

These malls are dead or abandoned now... Wild...

Yup it’s the same with ours

💯 we didn’t know what we had 😭

Took it for granted

The 21st century, everything went to sh1t. The 90’s was the last of a great era.

Magical times...we can recreate them...once we can go to the mall and not worry about being shot or mugged

You should have seen the malls in the 1970s and 80s, when malls were NEW and there were no Walmarts anywhere. Everyone would drive HOURS to shop at malls at Christmas. It was a magical time.

I sometimes wish this is a dream and wake up back in the 90’s.

It was a completely different world, but it was ours and we want it back not so much the mall (even though it would be a great retirement community) but the feeling.

I can smell that wonderful video, cinnamon, clean floors, perfume. It was wonderful.🇺🇸

The 90s was the tail end of the mall era. The 70s and 80s were even better than this. Malls were literally a destination. And they weren’t just for shopping. It was somewhat of a social hang-out. What a great era in time. Sad that it will never be recaptured.

It was white.

I miss this era. It was so magical to go to a mall. Any mall. They were all decorated and it felt amazing and uplifting for Christmas.

We gotta get back to this.

I remember feeling poor

I want to go home. Our children should be living this life.

Peak

Every time I hear this song I think of home alone lol.

Let's start with the repeal of the glass steagall act, then the WTO in 99 in Seattle pretty sure Bill Gates was behind it!

looks like late 80's.. Social media and smart phones took this from us.

Nostalgic ✨

Soak it up zoomers. This is the 90s peak consumerism you’ll never get to enjoy.

I immigrated to United States in 1993… Christmas time was always magical ❤️

It's called being predominantly white and having a white based society. True Christianity. Y'all (or your parents) killed it for "compassion" Don't worry. The slumbering beast will wake again.

Not a cell phone in sight

So sad amongst other things😔

Still remember the first breese of hot air in the winter, when open up the door to the mall...

This is breaking my soul 😔

What changed?

Everybody had money, duh!

You can't go back. Brave new world.

Going to the mall the day after Christmas and spending my Christmas money with my cousin is a great memory. Unfortunately we got older and the world changed.

@Steph93065 We were a proper country.

What changed? Why did people stop going to malls with their families?

And probably never will. Their loss.
