It was abandoned in 2019, and the former Valley View Mall in Dallas, TX, aside from graffiti artists, and a 2-alarm fire in early 2023, had been empty ever since. Not that long ago, malls were the epicenter of commerce and life. Throughout the ’80s and ’90s they were the place to shop, browse, and just hang out. Unfortunately for mall-lovers, these once prominent hangouts and monuments to consumerism and Orange Julius’s have now been relegated to the shadows of the communities that they once proudly served.
