The Arcade - Providence RI. Said to be the oldest shopping mall in America. Only a couple downstairs storefronts were occupied.

I used to go there in the early 1980s, there was a lot of traffic. The upper floors are micro-apartments now, right? Like Japan sized, 300 square feet? It's a lovely space. A shame it's not used.
For me it was late 90’s, but still had shops on the 1st and I think it was offices on the second. It was really nice, but things like this are going away sadly.
Given the location it doesn't make sense. The owners don't have enough imagination.
I wonder what the point of a city is anymore when you can shop online, work online, and socialize online.
Socialize online? Can my computer serve me a drink?
Actually it can at this point. RTDs delivered to your door quickly in most states.
Sarcasm right?
