    Word of advice If getting thin on hours around the OH/IN border on 70 avoid the Richmond IN mall at exit 156A(WB). While yes it’s pretty abandoned, a property manager in a 1995 ford pick up patrols and will boot you out. He’s just doing his job, I get it. Only parked here cause a gym and a Kroger’s is pretty close but hey that’s life. At least The Texas Roadhouse right next to the location has a decent parking area.Drive safe guys and girls!

    With 3 large truck stops very close in that area, why the need to park at a mall???
    And that mall has been off limits for 30 years, or more. Most every truck driver knew that.

    I did not know that, but I rarely allow myself to get into a position where I have to be creative when parking.

    I parked there a couple nights ago. The rest area lot is so big that I've never seen it anywhere close to full.

    Yet for some reason the idiots park behind the front row in line making it impossible for anyone to get into the front row spots. They do this even when they could have parked further down in the first row and while the second row is 99% empty too. But they save like 6 steps by blocking the first row all night lol.

    If I was an Indiana cop I know who I'd spend some time ticketing. Lazy SOBs.

    I stopped going to the mall when they got rid of KB Toys. Of course as far as an abandoned mall goes, I probably would've explored that one.
