View Full Version : No clocks in public now?
Frump 06-20-2013, 02:02 PM Do ppl notice in public, CLOCKS are dissapearing? I used to work at a theater and when ever I would eat I would always keep up with the clock, but I noticed more and more the clocks would be gone and now just about every place in town that there used to be a clock, there is just an empty space with a slightly faded circle where the clock was.... Is this some kind of Vegas money making tactic not to have any clocks. I heard there are hardly any clocks in Vegas in hopes of ppl losing track of the time and spending more money, so I'm wondering of other places are using that?

EmoJoe 06-20-2013, 02:23 PM I'm assuming it's because just about everyone carries the time around on their cell phone now and big communal clocks aren't really neccessary...
Mr. Television 06-20-2013, 02:34 PM My town still has a big clock down in the center square. It rings every hour too. I love small towns.

It's the same thing with the "payphone" thread. What does it harm to leave the clocks up?
I dread living in a world where nothing exists apart from one big cell phone we are all plugged into, I think it will be a sad world.
EmoJoe 06-21-2013, 12:37 PM I haven't really seen that many clocks being taken down, personally.

Didn't just about everyone carry time around on their wrists before cell phones were the norm?

We don't have any clocks at our malls.
robyrob 06-23-2013, 06:30 PM We don't have any clocks at our malls.
we barely have any malls left.

Oh well, the malls here have clocks so I thought it is worth a shot

Our malls are also disappearing and at one time we had the biggest one in the world. Some fool is investing to bring it back. The only clocks I see are at the banks.

Thank you Charles. What you said was something I was gonna say.
Mr. Television 06-23-2013, 10:50 PM we barely have any malls left.
We have two that are nearby but in different towns. I usually don't go there except around Christmas.
biffbronson 06-24-2013, 03:04 PM When I go to the mall, I just visit Barnes & Noble -- which has its own entrance/exit. I can't remember the last time I bothered to visit the other shops...!

I think things like that are such a shame. Its fun to go to the Mall and just walk around sometimes.
The younger generation will never know the fun of simple pleasures.
HOPES We don't lose our mall here! Its fun to look forward to doing things other than just hoping on a cell phone.
Frump 06-24-2013, 03:55 PM Thank you Charles. What you said was something I was gonna say.
You say that BUT all these posts here are just proving my point...
Someone tells me to go to the mall if I wanna see a clock, then someone else says, there are hardly any malls left...it proves my point lol
Next it's gonna get to "There is just vacant land where out mall used to be" "What who has LAND anymore?" lol
Yep we are just around the corner from a "You still live in a HOUSE?!" world.
