They're typically bustling with activity, packed during the winter holiday shopping season or teeming with families during the summer break, but the shopping malls in this selection of photos by photographer Seph Lawless are ghostly and eerie as they are left to succumb to the elements.
The two Ohio shopping malls in this slideshow above — Rolling Acres Mall and Randall Park Mall — were both built in the the mid-1970s and abandoned in 2008 and 2009. Both malls, which now feature dead plants, broken glass and crumbling walls, are set to be demolished any day now.

This will be the Centre at Salisbury Mall in less than 10 years.
Hell, it looks a lot like that now!
Any revitalization effort needs money spending patrons,but specialty shops have priced themselves out of contention.Malls are/were full of such shops.
I beg to differ with you on this. Some areas with good year around weather and many people have seen shopping malls prosper.swfl has two very large 150 plus stores within five miles of each other and do just fine. Good jobs, progress, and people make it happen. The shore lacks all of the an above.
