DEAD MALLS

Owings Mills, Maryland - December 21, 2014: Chance Ragsdale, 7, rides her bike past in the vacant parking lot at the former Boscov's department store at Owings Mills Mall.

Marcus Ragsdale, 34, and Katrina Ragsdale, 28, take their children, Marcus, 12, Chance, 7, and Diggy, their two-year-old yorkie-poodle to the vacant parking lot at the Owings Mills Mall where the Boscov's department store formerly occupied.
Owings Mills Mall, located in Owings Mills, Maryland, is a dying mall. The expansive parking lots are sparse, considering it's the Sunday before Christmas. The majority of stores in the mall are vacant. JCPenney and Macy's are the mall's remaining anchors.
