Just returned from a 5 week visit to the North Shore of Boston and the malls there looked as bleak as the Geezer Mall in Leesburg. The 3 Floor Sears at the Northshore mall looked like it was empty. They are closing down their TV department due to no profit. They carried inventory that people would look at and then go to the internet and buy it cheaper. My guess is that malls are a thing of the past. Even Big Box stores are going to disappear. I used HH Gregg to determine what appliances I wanted and then searched the internet and found the same thing at much less including shipping. I wouldn't look for any new Mall in our area. Our shopping experiences are likely to be online except for need now items.
