Please include a Glamour Shots. Thank you. Sincerely, every single woman over 40.

And instead of piping in "muzak", pump out some Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.

Don't forget to include an urgent care center to treat the broken hips after falling off the skateboards

We need a Great American Cookie Company, Waldon Books, and a music store.

Yes YES and YEEEES! Already wired for WiFi, AC in the summer, Heat in the winter, lots of walking and sitting spaces and the best part is, some of these malls are so big you can wander all day without having to have a conversation with ANYONE. Can some billionaire please read and FUND THIS!!

yes malls will be infested with mallrats once more! But the arcades have to be coin free. I will drop the quarter three times before I get it in the slot.

Screw the hot dogs, we need to make that the fresh warm pretzel stand. And a sbarros!!

omg, this this this. I would book my reservation now for when I need it later. Also, it better have a Mr. Pretzel.

Great idea!

Gen X hasn't really retired yet. It started in 1965, the year I was born and I'm only 57. SS retirement age is 65+. But I love this idea! I read an article about someone turning a mall into community living.

And an arcade, a place that makes Philly cheesesteaks, elevators and a Spencer's Gifts.

And section off a daycare area- yes for the Special Dementia adults ! Hey maybe a kid daycare too for when Our Kids Drop Us Off at Tje Mall🤣

This would be great

Old mall near me is being "upgraded". Part has been torn down for an apartment building, part of it was turned in to a school, there's way more restaurant "outbuildings" now as well. At least it hasn't been completely torn down for condos though.

Yes! Then they will be safe at “home”, but still able to go out and enjoy themselves! I am all for that? It also needs a huge green space for our pups, and planting a veggie garden.

Seriously not a bad idea

Is it ok if some of us elder millennials join to?! This sounds like heaven 🤣

Sign me up

I'm all for everything except skate board ramp.... I don't think that's a good idea for people retiring as you don't want them falling and breaking a hip

There's been talk about our local one being turned into a senior center...so kinda close

What about skating area! I loved those! BTW what is Orange Julius.

So abandoned malls should be converted into...malls?

so... a mall. revive the mall. keep going to malls and they won't close.

Why GEN X? I was thinking Boomers, for crying out loud.

NAH!!!! I hate malls, my favorite shopping trips were up and down the bvd.........to see it all....

Imagine in 20plus years and all us Gen xers there with our Zimmer frames on a half pipe or swearing at an arcade game. Lol

Add a coffee shop (Not Starbucks) and we have a winner.

I say this every time I pass a mall. I can even see it in my head, but my bank account can't stretch that far.

Great idea!

Yes. And I think we need indoor farms since the weather so often crashes. Put them in these malls

Your Right!

Oh, my gosh! Absolutely!! Just add windows in the apartments, and keep the escalators! Add an elevator for heavy stuff, we would be so happy! And we could get out at night and do our version of a party!

And the escalators always need to work!

I am a boomer and would like this!

PAD THOSE RAMPS, THO!

There's an abandoned mall not too far from me that is being renovated into housing for the homeless. Hopefully more areas will follow suit.
