Joint, bone, and spine surgery centers, condos in some cases so you can live at the mall .... how cool would that have been back in the day ... or some are just torn down. Nothing more depressing and wasteful to me than tearing down all that concrete, steel, brick. They pulverize it, haul it, dump it, and start anew. Don't know if any of the materials such as cement or rubble is recycled into new materials. I didn't make this world.
