Very cool fabrication, but I would rack myself on that every time I got off the bicycle.

In reply to NickD :

There is a defunct late-'60s mall in Delaware's capital city (Dover) that has been converted to house various state agencies and file storage space.

It looks almost exactly like your second picture, except each storefront is the client-facing counter of a different government agency.  Most of them were converted with as little cost as possible, so for a while, many were still recognizable as whatever brand tenant store they used to be.  They also tend to be the type of agency that doesn't get a lot of public client traffic, so there is almost never anyone there.

Going there is surreal.  I can't imagine what it's like to work there.  It's the most vaporwave place I've ever been in.

In reply to Duke :

The funny thing is, the photos I posted were on some urbex Facebook page and they wouldn't say the mall name, but they said it was in Central NY and I instantly knew which one. We actually used to hold autocrosses there, but despite there being no one at the mall, they kept cramming the autocrosses off into smaller and worse-condition lots. Not like they needed the parking, the place was a ghost town and it was revenue for them when they owned $11 million in back taxes. So we pulled out of there. Seems like malls are the worst to deal with as autocross venues.
