Early ‘80s our DM ran us through a Gamma World 1-shot, which turned out to take place in our (then) brand new high school. Took us three sessions to realize where we were.
He was great at describing places after 500 years of decay.
Back in ‘79 I walked the back hallways with a clipboard and graph paper, mapping out Countryside Mall. I was 12 or 13 but wore a button down shirt and tie. The 2 times I was asked what I was doing back there I said my dad was a maintenance guy and told me to count burned out lightbulbs (which I did)
Let one of the ruined stores be remains of a long forgotten Claire's Boutique, full of nothing but sparkling baubles of no value but there in copious amounts.
