nice lighting on the underside!
I, for one, do almost all my shopping on-line, FWIW. The exceptions being groceries and gas...
An analyst and $80K will buy you a foreclosed house in Prince William county.
So will 80K and no analyst.
Another contribution to the toxic asset ash heap.

Thi$ i$ the “highend” mall. Tyson’s II is more popular, it would pack if there were a nuclear war.
.
One suspects that it is more mismanagement than just the economy. They have some great locations but their properties tend to decay rapidly.
Tyson’s isn’t that bad and their newer malls like the one in Columbia, MD are very nice.
Older malls though, like the Dallas Galleria or Willowbrook in Wayne, NJ all have technical infrastructure issues that sometimes impact business. Riser management is a problem at all the older facilities (they don’t seem to do any) and after a while phone and data service become problematical and businesses located there spend more money on technical maintenance and coping with things like POS system down time. Then there is Ala Moana in Hawaii. It’s an old mall they GGP bought and have made ho improvements to that I can see.
It is in a class by itself when it comes to dealing with mall management and the infrastructure from phone wiring to plumbing is rotting.
The “mall” will go the way of the all purpose stores (e.g., Marshall Fields) that sold everything from fishing rods to furs. This recession is just speeding the process along.
BTW, 90+% of my (non-food) shopping has been done by catalog or on line for the last 7-8 years. I cannot see wasting my time at bricks& mortar stores.
Before I shed any sympathetic tears I want to know what this mall owner’s policy is on CCW carrying in their malls. This is a major danger issue in some states. Any freeper know?
I suspect it hasn’t been Tyson’s dragging them down.
For tips on investing in Baltimore, watch reruns of “The Wire.”
Fewer malls in this country would be a good thing. Seems like here in DFW there is a mall on every block.
