Two Pennsylvania Malls Named Best For Surviving Zombie Apocalypse
Two Pennsylvania Malls are where you want to be when the zombies come for us. It’s comforting knowing that one is so close to Philadelphia, right?
Pennsylvania Malls Reach Across The State
This might seem to be a ridiculous fact, but having the two top malls to save us in a Zombie Apocalypse reach each part of the state makes Pennsylvania quite the destination. From King of Prussia (the Philadelphia suburbs) to Erie (in Western PA), we are covered nicely. Pennsylvania is one of those sneaky states, too. We are close to the beach and mountains, New York and DC, but kind of keep to ourselves.
A few fun facts about King of Prussia Mall. It opened in 1963, which is crazy it has been that long. It’s the 4th largest mall in the United States. “The Plaza” was first and then separate complex, “The Court”, opened adjacent to it in 1981. 2016, they finally connected the two buildings and created one large mall.
A few fun facts about Mill Creek Mall. It opened in November 1957 and is the fourteenth largest shopping mall in the United States, and is currently the third largest shopping mall in Pennsylvania. Mill Creek Mall is in Erie, which is about 2 hours from Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania Malls For More Than Shopping
So why and how did this study come about? Well, there is a fun reason. The data was compiled by JeffBet, an online casino. The study was inspired by HBO’s smash hit, The Last of Us, based on the popular video game franchise
The analysis weighed eight survivability factors:
- Demand
- Infection risk
- Shelter suitability
- Food provisions
- Weapon access
- Medicine access
- Mental stimulation
- Chances of rescue
“Given that a zombie outbreak could occur without any prior warning, highly-populated areas like shopping complexes and malls could see thousands of people scrambling to survive,” a statement from JeffBet said. “And it turns out that some malls in America are better-suited to survival than others.”
I’m sure the fact that the malls are close to major cities – Philadelphia and Erie – plays a huge role in the analysis as well.
