The Exton Square Mall has been sold. Macy's had their final day of business yesterday. The rest of the mall will be closing soon for demolition & redevelopment, though a closing date has not been announced. Boscov's will remain, everything else is expected to be leveled.

Title: “The mall is closing in ten minutes, we should leave.”

All photos taken by me.

Liminal spaces have always been a strange comfort to me. There’s something about their emptiness, the echoes of a place once buzzed with life, that makes me so nostalgic. So imagine my surprise when I decided to visit my local mall after a long while, only to find that the Macy’s there was closing down (one of only two left in my entire city, btw).

The original plan was to buy makeup, but wandering through the near-empty store brought back a different kind of nostalgia. You know, the kind of nostalgia that comes with childhood memories of shopping trips with family: browsing, laughing, impulse buys, and making an afternoon out of nothing.

Maybe that’s why I find comfort in these “liminal” spaces; they remind me of a time when everything felt a little more whole.

I didn’t find any makeup, but I did leave with a few pieces of clothing (90% off, no less).

Here’s to the birth of another liminal space, and to the memories that make them feel like home.

The protests that happened at the macy's day parade are so important specifically because they tried to stop people from finding out about them. I watched the whole parade and didn't see a single sign or protestor, because try as they may to claim the show is live, they've been doing this for decades, they have full control over what footage the camera's capture and when ads conveniently cut away from what's happening. I found out from the few people still talking about the protests that there were any happening at the parade today.

They know we're all getting so tired and sad of hearing about what's happening. They want to make it as difficult as possible for us to interact with it, in hopes that we give up. They want you to say "It's Thanksgiving, we deserve a break from hearing about this."

I know that it hurts and it's stressful to try to help, but we have to keep going if we want anything to change. The writer and actor strikes were successful because they didn't give in.

It doesn't have to be much, you don't have to spend your days doomscrolling footage and fighting zionists. Just email your representatives each day, boycott businesses that support Israel, and hang on tight. As long as there is hope, there is a way through. The Palestinian people will be free.

Here’s a festive Throwback Thursday photo from 1969! On this Thanksgiving, the world-famous parade passed the Museum’s 77th Street turret with a very special float: a sauropod dinosaur. This inflatable Apatosaurus measured an impressive 60 ft (18.3 m) long! The giant green dinosaur featured big eyes, a wide grin, and a 20-ft (6-m) tail. The original Apatosaurus balloon made its first parade debut in 1963 and was retired from service in 1976.

There's some buzz about the Macy's and Kohl's closures announced for this year. It's bad news for a few PA malls, including the Logan Valley Mall here, which is losing Macy's now. I was already concerned about this mall because I was here in 2023 and again in 2024, and it looked way worse the 2nd time.

Anti-genocide protesters arrested today at the Macys Day Parade in NYC.

Question: If the first parade happened 100 years ago, why isn't this year's parade the 100th?

Answer: There was no parade in 1942, 1943, and 1944 because of World War 2. This is why although this year is the 100th anniversary of the first parade, it is only the 98th.
