I think my last visit was on September of 2020. Not visiting much as I used to because I just bought my needs at smaller grocery stores as well as on a public supermarkets and few online purchases. I tried to look for a computer mouse at one outlet located there because I need to replace the old mouse as it's already defective. A once a crowded and merry place looks very far from it's previous state these days. Some stores are closed and of course you can't see people with their children because until now kids are not allow to come in. A lady standing beside the escalator offered their services which is a massage performed by a blind person. They have a small space there and it's good that somehow they're now allowed to rendered services for them to earn in these most trying times. I declined the offer because I had other place to go after my purpose but I think I would come back some time to try it as I'm really missing the body massage which I'm used to in a traditional way at home.

Does the mall have many people or few because of COVID restrictions?

@mildredtabitha Yes, we're all advised to stay home if we don't have important things to do or business outside. During the first two months of the lock down, it's very strict and one can go out with a color coded pass. If a person caught outside without having it, he or she is penalized.

@ZedSmart It must be eerie being in a place that used to be crowded. Hopefully you can get that massage another time.

Malls are losing a lot of business. I wouldn't be surprised if so close down because of the pandemic.

@ZedSmart yup.
That is the key word - surviving. It isn't enough.

Pretty needed a new keyboard for her desktop but the local stores were sold out of them. We looked for several weeks, with me telling her to just order it online and have it shipped here. She finally did that. Stores aren't getting shipments to replace what has been sold but we aren't going to the big cities to buy things either. Too many cases of Covid to do that.
I hope you found what you needed.

Me too. If it's crowded, I won't go to malls. If a store gets crowded, I hurry and check out.

Right. I can't be vaccinated, so I'm carefuler. I get adverse effects from flu shots. Dr. Fauci said in news, if you're that way, don't get covid-19 vaccination.
