Abandoned malls aren’t only seen in The Walking Dead scenes, it’s actually a real thing happening across America. While it may seem like everyone in the U.S. is flourishing again, the hard truth is that economic decline is causing malls to go out of business. These once filled shopping centers are now ghost towns.

Peep the sad state of affairs happening across our country in the photos below, and go for more photos here
