Darker then the ones you have posted before.
Without trekking through past posts, can anyone confirm if the mall looks like this today? Photos on the mall's own site suggest it's still trapped in a twilight of times.
I have 2 great shots but how do i post them? Duuuhhhh....
Didi: Not as dark as this one, though.
Nicholas: From what I've seen, yes. Still looks surprisingly similar.
Fletcher: All you have to do is e-mail them to me at: mallsofamerica@gmail.com, and I'll see if I can use them on the blog. If so, I'll happily post them here and credit you as the source--if it's something I already have in my own collection, I'll let you know. Thanks in advance! :)
Yes, the mall still looks like this, though the clock has been horribly mangled because they let a house wife replace the original puppetry. I wrote most fo the Wiki on this
