Coming from Akron, I’ve done Clarion/Cranberry/Indiana in a day. There’s a way to route the trip down to the Pittsburgh area, too, and not add much time.

If you ever need routing for runs of malls in my area, let me know. The fountain run in PA is my favorite.

I don’t see myself returning to Virginia, lots of bad history there. I’d probably come back to see the president’s heads, though.

They did a great job, both places are now doing light industrial stuff and are doing better than they were as malls. I wish they were actual juggalos, the heroes of society.

I’m so glad you captured so many of those places because I prefer your work to most anyone else’s work when it comes to desolation.

I have an on the brink list, too, with ten other malls that will likely close within the next year or two.

Have you been to Indiana Mall and Cranberry Mall?

Oh absolutely.

Chapel Hill and Concord were both redeveloped by a company called ICP, which always makes me laugh.

Cool rainch

That hold song is an absolute banger.

Also, Penny has moved into her winter cabin (a box from Costco marked mozzarella cheese) 🧀 🐈

And done.
Look. I can either sit around and be sad about all of the perceived negative shit I have going on, or I can step up and change my thinking. So I’m doing that.

The song:

Trauma has made it so hard for me to just stand outside of myself and give my life an objective look. And then, it shifted and I’ve been able to do just that. And see how I’ve been contributing to my own misery, too. It’s crazy.

I love you and you’re also an inspiration to me 😘

I quit wine first because lately, wine makes me black out and act like a monster. No more social situations where I’m anxiously drinking because i’m around people I don’t like. Getting my dopamine at the gym daily.

I don’t have to crumble just because the world around me is.
