Once the Chinese place closed down in that mall, I lost my only reason to ever step foot inside there.

Chao Praya. I have no idea why they closed. There was always a huge line for that place, so they can't have failed. The Chinese buffet that replaced them is not nearly as good.

Is there a footlocker in that mall ? Just guessing.

There's about 6 sneaker places in the mall.

There was a shooting at the Mall not too long ago, iirc. Maybe 2 years ago? It was also in the food court, and I'm sure that witnesses to both would not be able to distinguish one incident from the other.

Tastee Donuts was the best, but alas, I think it's a fricking nail salon now.

The movie theater in the mall across from Aladdin's castle. That's how old I am.

Aladdin's Castle was originally down the hall from the movie theater. It became Suncoast Video. That's how old I am.

There were also 4 record stores and Durels pet shop. The puppet show at the fountain was cool also.

The last time I stepped foot in that place was 10 years ago to get my wife a Christmas present. I spent 20 minutes in there and told my kids there is no reason to ever come back.

Malls are history. Close the stores in them now and use the buildings for FedEx, Amazon, or whatever but malls are done.

I know this is way over-played here, but I was literally returning something to Dillard’s like 30 minutes before this happened.

Could. Have. Been. Me.

I passed through the food court at Acadiana Mall in December 2018. Don't worry, you can mark me safe.

I got lost in the mall because of that. I slipped away from my mom and went to the fountain to see the puppet show, then I went to D.H. Holmes to ride the escalators.

They had the "God, TigerstuckinMS is old" version of an Amber alert in that place until they found me doing my own thing.

Why? as a woman A lot of people still work there, and people walk for exercise groups. America’s already owned by Amazon China junk and overweight people shopping from their couches.
