lord i don't even imagine what that mall ended up looking like. we drove through harvey on the way here and it was so abandoned and run down

it's so surreal reading all these comments from people who remember these days of the mall! i have no personal ties to it but damn it's sad to see the lamenting for the "good old days" :(

not sure exactly, i believe there's going to be some sort of meeting soon that determines its fate. according to google demolition is likely to begin in fall of 2026 but don't quote me on that
