Yeah I do not like Indian food, except for Chicken Tikka Masala, which isn't an "authentic" Indian dish since it was invented in England
Gasp! Shock! Horror! Most probably incorrect. The most specific version of its origin identifies Glasgow, which very definitely is not in England. Let's compromise and agree it was invented in the United Kingdom. :)

To save a Mall it needs 3 things.

1. A Book Store

2. A Furniture Store

3. A McDonald’s


The Book Store and the Furniture Store are needed
so people have a comfortable place to sit and rest.

The Furniture Store should sell recliners and couches.

The Book Store should have good seating.

The food doesn‘t technically need to be a McDonald’s
but something close to that.

Losing malls is the price we pay for convenience.

You can't gain something without losing something else. If people want 2 day delivery, access to everything in the world on your phone, insane amounts of choices and so on them what needs to be sacrificed is what you're replacing those conveniences with.

Evolution is designed to take the place of something that is defunct.

Some malls still exist but Ive only seen 2 types. Upscale malls with stores full of really expensive stuff like apple stores, coach purses, jewelry stores, and over priced fashion. The others are dumps of junk stores that are just high grade flea market booths and where fashion stores are considered hot topic.

But the idea of malls from when I was a kid where you had all kinds of great stores, food courts with new things to eat, and a social atmosphere where people talked to each other? Those days are gone. Phones took away people's social skills, fast food and restaurants are on every single corner with the ability to have even McDonald's delivered to you, and the internet took away the fun of seeing new things.

The internet killed malls.
