Aviation Mall
Glens Falls, NY

The movie theater and anchor stores seemed to be doing fine, but the food court was absolutely dead and there are so many empty storefronts...

When we went to Lake George for the first time last year, I just about lost my mind when when we drove by this place. It's a mid-century kitsch time capsule in the best way.

Spookytown
Newington, CT

Well, I'm happy I went once, but... it was weird. Lots of poorly made generic items, and the prices seemed a bit high.
