Last time Catman went to the mall it was only because that's where the bus stop is. Sure, he could have caught the bus right at the end of his driveway, but the two-block walk is nice exercise.

The last time I was at a mall was in April. I went to get vaccinated in a former Sears store. Before that.....

I live by the Mall of America but haven't been there in like 3 years. So my answer is 3 years.

When was the last time you went to a mall to go shopping? I don't remember. That is how long it has been. Probably 8 years ago. I went to the mall to see a movie at the mall cinema in 2019. That was the most recent time I have been inside the mall, but not to go shopping.

Almost one week ago, since Oslo City is as of right now, the only place featuring a Platekompaniet (music and movie) store left, not only in Oslo, but most likely Norway.
Beside that, I rarely visit any other shops in that mall, which feels and looks like it still belongs in the late 80s or early 90s, which is kind of nice, for those seeking nostalgia.
I kind of miss hanging out at the malls, like we did back in the 90s, just window shopping and eating junk-food and ice cream, and dreaming of all the cool stuff you could get your hands on, if you were lucky enough, to afford it.
Sadly, the name Olav Thon and shopping centers, would spread out during the 90s and beyond, making almost every mall have or include exactly (more or less) the same stores, the same names and yeah, even over in Sweden it is more like shopping in Norway, than it is away from home.

It's been almost 2 years.
From my teens, and well beyond, I was constant mall visitor. Eventually, my interest in shopping malls waned. And, Covid has put emphasis on that.
I live in a city ... where there are independent stores in neighborhoods. I don't have to malls to look for "stuff," that I don't need.

Yesterday. The closest grocery store is at the mall, so I usually buy my food there.

It's complicated...
The nearest indoor mall, to where I live, is all but dead... However, one of the anchor stores is a Target, and I went there just a few weeks ago. It still seems to be doing well... But, as far as I know, the rest of the mall is closed. You can't even get inside, from Target. The mall doors are closed, and it's been barricaded off with junk... If there is anything still in there, I have no clue as to what it would be... And the parking lot around the mall, is full of pot holes, and weeds growing out of the cracks... Only Target has received some fresh pavement... There is a major bus stop there too... It's been over five years since there was any else there, that I went inside to shop.
Another indoor mall is my area is still doing well, but, It's been about five years as well, since I had any reason to go inside...
I think in both cases, the last stores I went to were Sears... One as it closed, and one to shop for tools.
Strip malls are the only things I've been to more recently, and even then, not frequently.
I miss the variety of stores at Indoor Malls, and how festive they are during the Holidays...
