Yup, miss going there and walking around for freakin hours while my wife and daughter didn't buy anything but "shopped" for hour

Miss doing there with family members checking 7 different store prices on the same thing only to go back to the first store to buy it

Miss the errant crotch high toddlers and their clueless moms who don't realize that those kids are a near lethal weapon the male gender

Miss searching for that one vacant dad chair, only to find it and settle in when the family decides to move to another store

ahhh, malls, good times, good times . . .

Meh malls. Too many people. Yuck.

Malls are not boomer. They did not exist for most boomers during their childhood and young adulthood.

Wasn't blues brothers smashing through a mall that had been closed down already?

That not right time frame?

Boomers are people born between 1946 to 1964.

American malls started in 1956 with Southland mall in Edina, MN and the height of the American mall was 1986 (consumer report names the mall top 50 wonders). The 1980s was the golden age of malls.

So boomers were in there 40 to 22 at the height of the mall. I think CTC is right on this one. Boomers were the in their prime at the height of the malls era.

Yes the Gen X lived their childhood in malls but it was the boomers that made the mall possible (ie by spending $$ there)

The millennials were infants when the malls began to decline in the 2000s.

The millennials ruined the world

Oh not sure we can really blame them.

I guess if you want to nitpick. Malls did not come to this area until the mid 70's, when most boomers were already in their twenties or thirties.

I spent so much money at malls.

Especially when I was doomed at school in Connecticut 08/09

This was the mall before it was torn down. It was only active for 12 years and left abandoned for 30 years before it was knocked down.

Millennials are birth years from approximately 1982-1996 so there was not a single infant millennial in the year 2000.
