The Decline of Mall Civilization. I backed it on the first day. And it will certainly reach its goal.

Let me tell you that I so wish that I had documented my environment more in the '80s and '90s. I got off to a good start in '85 when I took a whole roll of film around our apartment complex before we moved. Yeah, that stuff cost money. But as I grew up I actually had non-trivial amounts of money of my own, and I neglected to actually do something with it. Ah, well. My lesson is to always tell children, when it comes up, that they should take photos and videos whenever and wherever they can. In the future, will thank themselves that they did so.
Batman was released in 1989. There's a special place in my heart when I see photos from that era featuring the Batman logo. All those memories come flooding back. What a time to be alive, even for a kid as naive and insecure as I was.
P.S. Shopping centres are quite popular in Australia, or at least where I live. We have at least two very big and popular ones, plus a bunch of smaller ones. If you are familiar with Chadstone in Victoria, you'll know what I mean. There's no sign of them losing popularity.
