At the end of the day, the best case scenario for most of the malls I cover is someone local to take an interest, with the capital to actually do something appealing. I've been to some malls that received a bland, soulless remodel and while this one is very modern, I'm impressed they managed to make it feel pretty inviting.

Downtown Maybarry is such a lovely place. We drive up there a few times a year. I do wonder what they’ll do when everyone who remembers Andy Griffith is gone. The actor and show is baked into everything there.

I think most people of my generation (older Millennials) have really fond memories of watching his show with a parent or grandparent when they were young, so that day may be further away than you think. (Fun story: my husband, who is the same age, wrote a letter to Andy Griffith when he was a kid for a school assignment. Most of his classmates that received a response from their chosen celebrity got a form letter or a photo, but he actually received a hand-written letter from Andy Griffith himself! What a gem of a man.)

You can find some really great deal at those! Basically they’re returned items from e-commerce (mostly from Amazon)…I got a brand new Dyson vacuum for $100 at one of those a couple years back, and a couple various photography things for practically nothing. It’s an odd business model and you have to be willing to treasure hunt but it’s worth it if you have the patience.

Just a personal observation about the malls in my area that have closed and the one that remains very busy. People are always initially excited when a mall opens closer to home. Eventually, it becomes apparent that anyone planning to spend a few hours shopping at the mall is willing to drive just a little bit further to get to the better mall. This is especially true for younger people who used to be the heart and soul of malls.

Mayberry Mall has had a weird lonely vibe for years, usually mostly empty but just refuses to die. Super weird vibe now that most stores have died out but it's had a fairly recent remodel. Hasn't remotely passed for a successful mall since the early 2010s at least. Accidentally stole some socks there in 2014 but I liked the prospect of free socks too much to return them, fun times.
@UniCommProductions
@UniCommProductions Год назад
I really hope after years of neglect that the new owners find some success. They were probably smart to go with a more utilitarian feel for the space because it might attract more "non traditional" mall tenants (some of those smaller spaces would be perfect for something like an insurance agency or an eye doctor, maybe?). Don't feel too bad; I accidentally swiped a t-shirt once because I put my purse on top of it in my cart and didn't realize what I'd done until I got outside and started loading my car.

The biggest issue with Mayberry Mall, as a lifetime resident of Mount Airy (22 years old, born and raised here), is that no owners who take the mall over are willing to give incentive to have shops open in the mall. Hallmark recently got forced into leaving Mayberry Mall because the current owners absolutely refused to fix the A/C for the Hallmark store and wouldn't allow Hallmark to hire someone to fix it. They've put so much into remodeling the place but refuse to let it grow.

All malls are obsolete and dead. High rent and local taxes have forced many vendors out of malls and now consumers are buying everything online. It's time to pack up and go. Use the buildings for other purposes.
@UniCommProductions
@UniCommProductions Год назад
Well, that’s part of why I’m doing this project. Most of them are obsolete (though not all). Many markets can support one or two malls; most can’t support the 8-10 they have. The buildings are huge and sometimes challenging to repurpose for a myriad of reasons. A lot of people who grew up in the 90s and before have fond memories of when they were new and went through a lot of rites of passage there. All in all, it’s a reason to document the shift. I don’t believe they can all be saved, and I don’t think they necessarily should. The history and memories are worth saving for a lot of us, though, and when we had to pay for film or videotapes not a lot of people did.
