Local urban decay


This is Parco Città Mall, a small decadent mall in Vicenza



A supermarket and a bar are pretty much the only reasons it's still open: the rest of the building is void of life



Funnily enough, the supermarket sign outside the mall is barely hanging in there



The unkempt entrance is just the beginning
Inside, floor tiles are broken and the loudspeakers play extremely scuffed music and ads



Commercial activities couldn't keep up with increasing rental prices
It's worth noting that most of these places were thriving just a decade ago



This single cart has been here for years
No one uses it
No one bothers to move it



Recently, the underground parking lot was filled with fire extinguisher liquid by someone
They haven't reopened it after weeks
are they ever going to?



This section was blocked off, probably to prevent homeless people from sneaking in there



This is what it looks like from outside
Might sneak in later on
