Those were the new, modern malls, and I still didn't look at them as "old" even recently. But looking at that photo, all cleared out and devoid of life, it really looks old. I can't even imagine how old it must seem to teenagers or kids in their early 20s. But something seems so wasteful still about demolishing buildings from the 90s, seems too soon. But it shouldn't, logically, because a 1990 building is 32 years old. And in 1990, that would be like a building from 1958, same time span. So what I looked as seeming so old in 1990 (something from the 50s) would be the same as kids seeing 1990 as ancient. So strange when that realization hits lol
