Step into the time machine as we take you on a hilarious and nostalgic journey through the glory days of American malls. From the neon-lit fountains to the sticky floors of the food court, we're diving deep into the shallow end of consumerism's greatest hits.
In this episode, we'll explore:
- The birth of the mall and how it became America's favorite babysitter
- Why Victor Gruen's urban utopia turned into a teenage wasteland
- The inevitable decline of these retail behemoths (spoiler: it wasn't just Amazon's fault)
- What happens when your local Wet Seal becomes a mixed-use condo
Join us for a sardonic stroll down memory lane, where the escalators always work and the Orange Julius flows freely. Whether you were a mall rat or just someone who enjoyed the occasional Cinnabon-induced sugar coma, this episode is your ticket to reliving the absurdity and unexpected poignancy of America's mall culture.
