Or the fresh baked bread place in the Bloomingdales wing.

I didn’t think anyone actually went to that location.

That’s such a bummer - was really a nice layout. My local B&N in Springfield is still open. Kid can easily spend $100 in 5 minutes

Maybe Amazon Fresh. Or a CVS.

Is it because crime at the mall skyrocketing ever since the metro stop opened?
Why would criminals in VA ride the metro? Don't they all have cars?
It's because Jeff Bezos
That's right Jeff Bezos comes to your house and types on your computer all your Amazon orders.
That's right most Americans were not using Amazon during a pandemic.
That's right Amazon doesn't help the elderly or anyone who has trouble leaving home.
That's right Ameirica's youth doesn't predominately shop online.
You are an idiot

I miss the malls of the 80s and 90s.
The mall I remember being built amongst fields when I was a kid and where we roamed as tweens with friends and I worked part time while applying for “real” jobs and grad school after college has been completely torn town.

Agree. Tysons is always packed.
And, yes, I believe either Cheesecake Factory or Maggiano’s are moving there from Tysons II.
Ooooh - call me basic, but I really like Cheesecake Factory. I've yet to have a bad meal at one.

Also, just get a damn e-reader like the rest of us in the 21st Century. Ir if you insist on a hard copy, get it delivered to your door from Amazon.
What makes it iconic is her memories of it and your “solution” of just reading on a device and having things delivered via Amazon is why we’re now in this awful hellscape of no physical media and no third spaces. We can’t just accept the closing down of every single place that provided goods and services because Amazon can download the thing on our fiftieth Amazon device.
Agree. If you can't understand why someone would be sad that a bookstore they'd been going to since childhood was closing, something is off with you.
