  • I'm a loser. Also, Creeper. And a woman.
    JZ: Excellent. Good luck! :)

    I think it's pudding cup time.

    bleh bleh bleh

    Century III mall is on the Death Watch? AW HELL NO

    Looking at the 2010 pictures, I can see why.

    Labelscar is one of those sites that's fun to browse but kinda sad.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    There used to be a Wendy's in that food court.

    A WENDY'S
  • Why did I read "Labelscar" as "lesbian"? Probably because I'm writing about Kanaya on tumblr in the other tab.
    Playing Odin Sphere right now. Pretty cool.
    Ahh, Odin Sphere was awesome.

    Sometimes I worry about Eastland Mall. It has one vacant anchor (the former Lazarus) and several stores that don't seem to belong to chains--usually that's a sign of a dying mall.

    Still, it's managed to hold in there better than its sisters, Northland Mall and Westland Mall. The former closed in 2002 and the latter is barely hanging on with a handful of no-brand stores, anchored only by a Sears that uses only one of its original two levels.

    Thing about Century III, it used to be awesome, but there was a third floor there that never seemed to have any activity. I remember there being some comics shop or something but that's it.

    Ah well.

    When I think back on it, it's amazing to me how quickly Northland Mall collapsed. Even when I was a little kid it was still a relatively successful mall. Then Easton Town Center and Polaris Fashion Place stole away all its anchor stores and customers and within just 5 years or so Northland Mall was no more.

    It's an interesting contrast to malls like Westland, which stay open long past the point when they're salvageable, basically just running on inertia.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Oh yes, and the Washington Mall.

    "The center portion of the Mall is now cordoned off, absolutely reeks of
    mold, and the lights are turned off. I doubt that even is security
    guard or a janitor on the premises, because they’d need Hazmat gear and
    supplied-air respirators to sit in that building now."

    I am totally going to take a look at this.
  • I have returned. Now with more food in my body,
  • The sadness will last forever.
    Mmmmm....food.

    You know...dying malls become even sadder when you think of them in the context of the bigger picture.

    The neighborhood around Northland Mall was more or less centered on it, so much so that that part of Columbus is still called "Northland" to this day. Northland was hit hard by the loss of the mall, and despite Mayor Coleman throwing money at redeveloping the area for almost 10 years now, it never really bounced back...
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    That food will only stay in your body for so long, JZ. THEN WHAT WILL YOU DO
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Thing about dead/dying malls to me is...I'm not really interested in retail per se...I just like them because they remind me of the passage of time.

    Something very profound about seeing places from your childhood, disappearing into the abyss of the past...
  • Hey, there's a whole area near where I live based on a strip mall. The strip mall is doing terrible and is hurting that area really bad.
  • IMI, I WILL BE FORCED TO EAT MORE

    I wish I could enter my memories. Not entire memories, just very specific parts.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    It was weird to me when my development first started getting retailers and restaurants. A lot of them look plunked-down to me...
  • Living tissue over endoskeleton.
    They called me the Walking War.

    Same here, AU. For a year or two after we moved in, our subdivision was tucked away in the woods, then URBAN SPRAWL came through and now those woods are a Walgreens and a Meijer and a Lowe's and a Target and all kinds of shit...
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I've only ever lived in places that already had plenty of development.

    JZ: ...You have a Strip Mall.... nice.

    If I could remember what it exactly was. :P
  • I'm a loser. Also, Creeper. And a woman.
    Ah, okay. I was worried it was referring to a different kind of stripping. :P

    Thanks. Still available to talk in PM's, btw. :)
  • Man...the strip mall wouldn't be dying if THAT were true. This is a strip club very close by though.
  • I'm a loser. Also, Creeper. And a woman.
    Too bad the Strip Club isn't part of the mall. :P
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Here in Pittsburgh we have something called the Strip District...

    I have no idea what even goes on there

    I thought he was immortal.

    Let me tell you. About Fallen London.
    I didn't think I would actually kill that thing; I almost did it with small arms and mind bullets alone til I remembered I had the giant beam cannon

    But then it crashed. Which is fair, because I am pretty sure trying to play this game will eventually melt this computer. I just hope the thus-far reliable autosave kicked in after that.

    The one time somebody actually uses the # feature for a hashtag instead of just indicating a number, and it doesn't become a link.

    GOOD JOB VANILLA
  • The last time I tried that it didn't work either. I think it's because I edited it in or something.

    Applying for jobs is fucking ridiculous.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Why is that, JZ?
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Because it is!
  • Questions like "Why do you want to work here?" cannot be answered by the obvious "I need a pay check and the experience and this job seems like a monkey could do it." Instead employers want you to shit out that it'll be awesome working for them because they crap out rainbows every morning.

    GOD I KNOW RIGHT

    Why the hell do people want to hire liars anyway? I'm a 21-year-old looking for a part-time job at a bookstore, why do you think I want to work here?
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Do they give you one of those questionnaires with items like "do you believe it's right to steal from the company?"

    I love those.

    I can't relate...
  • Imi: Some of them. My mandude asked an employer once about those questionnaires and apparently half the applicants fail them.

    I've always had my mother (or my career counselor) help me with those questionnaires, honestly...

    ^^ You will someday.
