At least four people were killed and several others injured on Saturday after a hot water pipe burst at a shopping mall in western Moscow, the city's mayor said.
I meant not popular as in they don't have as much foot traffic as they did a few decades ago. Many exist, but the number of malls that don't feel "dead" is pretty low in my experience.
Yup. We have like 4 within 30 min driving distance (assuming we're talking indoor malls), and they all feel pretty empty whenever I go. Granted, I don't go very often, but it definitely seems a lot less popular than even 10 years ago.
We still have some where I live, but I haven't been in years and they're all dying. As an older dude, I really only went for games, shirts, and someplace social to walk around and see interesting or new stuff with my wife. Games are all online and I can get next day delivery from Amazon if I want the finest textiles China has to offer. (Not entirely negative, they're the just not known for high quality, dat price tho.) Especially after covid, we generally don't go out to public places for social interaction. Anymore, we just go to gatherings of friends and play different board games people have gotten recently
