That's a Lego set.

In 17 years of documenting abandoned malls, I've never seen one go to shit this fast, and this violently. Genuinely alarming.

This day started at 7AM in Lexington, North Carolina and ended home north of Chicago around 2AM. 900+ miles or about a third of the mileage of this trip in one day, with three hard laps on Tail of the Dragon.

Wish I got here before it was gutted, but it's probably for the best considering the criminal levels of mold this place accumulated while it was still open to the public.

It's 2026 and people on Flickr are still weird.

The only other one on the list I've visited is Pittsburgh Mills -- a mall which never found success. Beyond a closeout warehouse in its old Sears Grand, Macy's is its last anchor and the mall is nearly-empty.

Both Marley Station and Pittsburgh Mills are victims of known slumlords, Namdar Realty.

We must repeat: get to Marley while you can. After Macy's closes, JCPenney and a movie theater are the only things carrying this neon fever dream from 1987.

Previously Macy's has announced 150 underperforming stores will close through 2026. With these 14 and last year's 66-store closings named: 70 remain up in the air.
