Hello, your website says your blog was deleted. I hope this is not permanent your blog was a major inspiration to me and many others!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe website will be down for a while. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
The Mall Hall of Fame returned at noon today.
ReplyDeleteTo my viewers...if you please, I'd like some feedback about the Mall Hall of Fame. What are your favorite articles?

ReplyDeleteYour articles that resonated with me most were about Roswell Mall, Oakbrook Center, Ford City Mall, Blue Ridge Mall, Snow Heights Center, Winrock Center, Forum 303 Mall, Sharpstown Mall, Memorial City Mall, Basset Place Mall and Grossmont Center. Your style of site plan rendering and willingness to draw the weirdest shaped buildings made me feel creatively inspired to pursue a drafting degree. The fact that you've been archiving and building profiles on so many malls for this many years is really cool and makes me grateful for the internet's ability to bridge the gaps between users' of niche hobbies.
Well....I am truly flattered that I've been an influence for you to pursue a drafting degree. This is great!

ReplyDeleteIf I were to be honest, if it wasn't for this blog network, I would've never been so interested & invested in the past of malls like I am now (First discovered the blog in 2012 when looking for Rolling Acres content). My favorites have to be Cin-Day Center Mall, King of Prussia, Century III Mall, Volusia Mall, Potomac Mills, Forest Fair Mall, Yorkdale Shopping Center, and the LEGENDS pages (Taubman, DeBartolo, Gruen, Rouse, etc.).
The Impact This Blog Had On Me: As a Gen Z, It has gotten me to do more research on malls, mall operators & developers, cinemas, department stores, hotels, fast food & other aspects of the golden age. I credit this blog to opening that up for me. Currently in college trying to get a license for operating businesses.
On a more personalized opinion/constructive criticism note (I apologize in advance): Due to recent events outside of your blogs' control (including the fact that Google is set to be broken up like the Bell System due to a recent Supreme Court verdict), I personally want to help in preservation of blogs like this in any way I can. Your blogs have helped so much people than just being infamous, so I feel like help in return is warranted. Now I'm not saying making a new site from scratch (that'd be more of a Plan B thing), but have a plan set up for if anything happens to Blogspot/Blogger in the future.
New Page Concepts & Ideas: I know... Might as well keep up tradition with every time I post to you. Northway Mall in Colonie, New York, as well as Saratoga Mall & Wilton Mall in Wilton, New York.
Took a while to write, but I hope it gets to you. (been on & off writing this since Jan. 4)
