A variety of unique stores, restaurants...

Which is completely impossible in today's malls because of the exorbitant rents, which can only be afforded by large national chain stores with big advertising budgets and low-cost merchandise through foreign supply chains.

There is a reason every single large shopping center in America now has virtually the exact same store lineup.

LOL, I hear you. Recently, I was traveling, and was at the major regional shopping mall in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I felt like I was in the mall in El Cajon, CA. The stores, the layout, the kids hanging around, the vibe, the food court, all seemed identical.
