The malls in my area accessible by mass transit have become those where white people used to shop; since Wal-Mart is basically a mall in and of itself, the mall concept will go the way of the dodo.
I went to a high school that was across the road from a shopping mall. On occasion we might ditch last class to hang at the mall and spend our allowance at the Deb shop or Fashion Bug or play video games, goof off, then sit at the food court waiting for the last bell to ring and the rest of the crowd to come meandering over and catch up on the latest gossip. The demographics changed a great deal some 15 years after I graduated and then the mall failed and was eventually torn down. This has happened to many a town. It’s a shame.
