At least four people were killed and several others injured on Saturday after a hot water pipe burst at a shopping mall in western Moscow, the city's mayor said.
I meant not popular as in they don’t have as much foot traffic as they did a few decades ago. Many exist, but the number of malls that don’t feel “dead” is pretty low in my experience.
Yup. We have like 4 within 30 min driving distance (assuming we’re talking indoor malls), and they all feel pretty empty whenever I go. Granted, I don’t go very often, but it definitely seems a lot less popular than even 10 years ago.
Most countries except for the US still have them afaik
Here in Germany they are in every city and very successful
I think the problem is that the US malls are in the middle of nowhere and you need to take your car there and spend a lot of time there.
Here they integrated as part of the inner city and flourishing and you can just walk to the old town or other things nearby
The US still has them too, they’re just not as popular as they were.
How absurdly sensible…
The US has shit load of malls. You can find at least one in just about every town and city across the country. They are literally everywhere…
They still exist in the USA as well. They just aren’t popular.
Guess that depends on where? Where I live there’s a mall on like every damn town, and there are two within like 10min from my house.

Also I’ve found where I live in Canada 90% of the outlets in malls are clothing store, mostly younger and hipster clothing stores too.
Have no interest in browsing through 16 clothing stores all selling jeans and t shirts.
