So in your opinion, the only reason the mall of Louisiana has fallen is because of online shopping?

What caused the mall of Cortana to close?

What warranted a new mall?

Social media and texting.

The mall was as much about social interaction as it was shopping.

Primarily, yes, I think online shopping has been the main reason.

Cortana was a casualty of location. That was a thriving area of the city in the 80s and well into the 90s. But most of the middle class in BR started shifting south and into the suburbs, further away from Cortana and it started going downhill.

BR has had 2 malls since the 70s and Mall of LA was built in the mid 90s when most people didn't even have the internet and when online retail was a tiny fraction of what it is now.
