It was interesting to notice that the trees in the parking lot were no longer receiving any water. Yet another sign that people are giving up on large shopping malls.
In addition to historians, economists, public health experts, and so on, sociologists and their students are going to have plenty of research fodder for years. :-\
Marquette Mall in Indiana is dead, too. They built these indoor malls all over the place in the 70s. The one in Lombard, Illinois, Yorktown, is thriving. Our out door Mall, Light House mall is doing well. I feel sorry the poor dead malls. They look haunted.
The picture sure tells the story - there was a news story yesterday on the percent of indoor malls that had closed in the last few years - Times changing again.
