Drove 2 hours to a dead mall in Syracuse that was already torn down
Headed up to Syracuse on Saturday to check out Shoppingtown Mall because a blog post from 2021 said it was still standing. Got there around 1pm and the whole place was a fenced dirt lot with one lonely parking sign left. I sat in my car for 20 minutes just staring at it. Lesson learned: always call the town clerk before driving 2 hours. How do you all verify a mall is still there before making the trip?
