The Spokane Valley Mall seems to be managing to hold on, but I haven't been to the Northtown Mall in ages, and I feel no real urge to go see what's up. It seems like malls are soon doomed to be a thing remembered only by GenX and Millennials as a cornerstone of commerce. I wonder if any will be repurposed as factories and warehouses? The locations are less than ideal, but they have space. Maybe schools could use them as classroom space gets cramped in growing cities.

When I was taking these earlier this year, I was surprised by how well the Jefferson Mall seemed to be doing. Lol, I'm sure the boomers already blame us for killing them but I won't shed no tears over their passing. From the occasional new story that I've happened across, it seems turning them into mixed use spaces with housing and such is the current thing they're attempting with them. I've never been able to get past the artificialness of the places, don't know why anybody would want to live in one but it seems like that's the way they're going with them.
When the mall in Richmond, Kentucky closed for good that National Guard ended up taking it over for use as a depot/base.
