"Kiss Your Mall Goodbye" wow. One of our large malls here is planning a huge makeover, some retail, but bringing in 30 movie screens, lots of restaurants, sort of a family gathering place, with a semi-river waterfall snaking around. It now houses something like 5 clubs in one, pay one cover and you can go from jazz club to country western to whatever the latest loud noise is called these days. The place now has more cars in the parking lot than it ever did as a pure mall. The small retailer has gone under from the pressure of the likes of Wal-mart, Target and various other chains and the outlet malls. Strip centers are being built again, but with a new attractive, inviting curb appeal. With temperatures in the south these days though, if you can't have an air conditioned mall to shop in, we sun baked folks will turn to the internet for sure :) c
