Haunting photos of America's dead shopping malls

Jul 26, 2021, 12:46 IST

The White Flint Mall in Bethesda, Maryland opened in 1977.

It closed early this year. In February, only Lord & Taylor remained.

The upscale mall was home to stores like Bloomingdale's and I. Magnin. Even Elizabeth Taylor was reported to appear at a department store at the mall.

Before it closed, it was something of a ghost mall.

This is the closed-down Rolling Acres Mall in Akron, Ohio.

It closed in 2008.

This is the Randall Park Mall in Cleveland. It was ultimately torn down in the end of 2014.

Dead malls are not particular to the United States. This is a deserted mall in Beijing.

This was taken at the Maple Hill Mall in Kalamazoo, Missouri, in 2004, when the mall was totally abandoned.

This is what was once Glamour Nails at Maple Hill Mall. The mall was ultimately turned into a strip mall called Maple Hill Pavilion.

This was formerly a Macy's at the Brookdale Mall in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. The mall closed in 2010.

This is the deserted Carousel Mall in San Bernardino, California.

Surprisingly, it's still around, but according to Deadmalls.com, it just has "a few mom and pop type shops and some local businesses that are fighting a losing battle."

This is a frightening photo of another abandoned mall.

The future of malls look bleak. Green Street Advisers informed The New York Times that over two dozen malls have closed in the past five years, and 60 more are close to shutting their doors.
