Our Mall used to be crowded and parking spaces were hard to find.
Not so any more.......................
The important thing is that with Trump likely reviving the middle class, the malls will be crowded again.
Our Mall used to be crowded too. Now it is an open field... and the city bought it for millions of dollars with grand expensive plans — a cultural center, low income housing, etc.
Still an open field after 5 years. They do occasionally move the wooden stake markers and piles of dirt.
I have not set foot in a mall in about 10+ years.
