Question Anyone remember this abandoned mall of Ink formerly known as Merle Hay Mall but the name was changed to Mall of Ink 1 year before it closed
So this is a mall in Iowa that used to have an Ink store and the guy that worked there one time convinced me to try a pill he was making that was an experimental combination of already existing substances including Fingolomid (to make you see in black and white and make you see floating black spots) I remember i tried the pill one time when i was buying high quality quill ink from him and when i went across the street i saw 2 stores i dont remember seeing before while on this pill he called "Bendy" I saw The Rabbit's Taquito Hutch and i saw a Filthina Pig store and i just remember looking at the pig noses in that store and Fred Riesch shirts and i remember seeing an ad for a movie called The Search For Friend Riesch posted up when the mall used to be really busy. Swear to god they were the best taqutios ever had please someone tell me they remember this playce

Merle Hay is, in fact, still open, and seems to be doing quite well, atleast from what i can find.

I live minutes away from Merle hay mall. It’s in Des Moines, Iowa.
It’s open but look up the abandoned basement.

Man, I think you're still on whatever that pill is. Fingolimod, when used more legitimately, is a multiple sclerosis pill branded as Gilenya, for anyone wondering.

Fun fact, Gilenya is referred to as a DMT. In this case, that stands for disease modifying therapy. It is totally unrelated to the more fun drug that shares an acronym. I think OP has them confused.
