yeah they're still a thing here too, i often wonder if this is just an american phenomenon.  i guess they're not as popular as they were in their heyday. there used to be 3 major malls in my town, and now only one of them is still busy. but it's still a major shopping center and i would say pretty much every city has at least one mall that is. especially for clothing, i can't remember the last time i went to a clothing store that wasn't in a mall.
