Metro Center Mall, Phoenix Az., Final Cruise

[1bad]

These are just a couple of stills with a video to follow from the Final Cruise of Metro Center Mall in Phoenix, Az before it closes. It was a great night with an estimated 10k people showing up on Tuesday night(Last night of business) for these photos, and 17k showing up 3 nights earlier on Saturday night. I will post more later.

Why the closure?

Essentially just old, neighborhood is rundown, not enough traffic anymore. Little bit ghetto

Some of that going on in several places throughout the country courtesy of the internet is my guess.
