True, not all. Shepherd Mall in central OKC is one of those. It went down in the 90s, but instead of being abandoned or torn down, it was purchased by the city, remodeled and turned into an office complex. I still miss it being a mall, but at least it didn't go to waste. There are a few eateries salons and general shops in there, mostly for the convenience of the office workers, but it's open to the public as well as far as I know.
Crossroads is still in limbo, investors keep coming in and wanting to do something with it, but it's mostly an Albatross.
Heritage Park is the saddest case I know of in Oklahoma. When I stood in the broken door above to take the interior picture, this ice cold, moldy wind was washing over me with the faint sound of a low howling and creaking coming from inside. It was downright eerie.
The supposed worst case in the U.S. (and the one that got me interested in this) is Rolling Acres Mall in Akron, OH.
