The “teens” ruined my childhood mall soon after the mall installed a bus stop out front.
Now here in MA the big thing is to build outside malls like Patriots Place, Legacy Place etc.
It seems that understanding is that the “teens” do not like the cold..
No, people realize indoor malls are a pain when one just wants one thing.
Just as drug stores and grocery stores (per se) will keep existing because not everyone wants to traipse upinto some giant box store just for a drug or milk.
It’s good to have more options for shopping, and I mean the real kind, not virtual.
