Is the mall dying?

A cold saturday night and needing to kill some olive garden wait time means a visit to the mall. The big fountain now has no water and the central coffee shop is gone. Is the mall dying?

Being, "Mr small business" I hate to see the now empty shops. Is it the economy? Is it an outdated model?

Folks it is time to be creative in business. The shopper has been cookie cutter stored to death. We need to rediscover the American idividual that makes us great.

I call this article, "thoughts from the mall playland."
