Those abandoned restaurants/buildings around the perimeter are the worst.
I noticed this morning that they are tearing one down. Either the old Bennigan's or right next to it.

Mall lifespans are what, 20-25 years? Enclosed malls seem to be dying.
Outdoor malls (riverwalk) suck during hot summers but they appear to be getting more popular.
The onky reason i cared about malls was because they had music stores, video stores, etc. Now its all closthing stores and cell phone kiosks

Cortana's problem isn't the mall itself, it's the location, and there's no turning that around.
I remember Cortana in its good days back in the 80's. Those days are gone. If I have to worry about getting robbed, shot, stabbed, or mugged, I'm not going there.
Malls were a good concept at one time, however, once the hood element takes over, folks with money are not coming there and will take their business elsewhere.

The Sterling riots will be the final nail in this coffin of a dead mall
Good idea. Great place to hold the riots. Lock them all in

Cortana was great in the 80's. Most malls were. The Mall of Louisiana is okay, but I think it was better in the late 90's. Spencer's was better. You had World of Science and Learning Smiths. A music and book store. There was that all Louisiana sports store. All of that is gone. A lot of that has moved onto Perkins Row but it's outside and spaced apart. The Mall was a good place to kill time during the hot summers and check out girls in short shorts.

Afraid it's going to be a Bon Marche east because the financial and residential demographics do not support the mall.
No doubt online purchasing has not helped.

Wouldn't surprise me if the city and state end up heavily subsidizing it. To point of near ownership.

I like the schools and business office idea. Nobody even thinks of it as a mall anymore.

Same thing happened to Hickory Hollow Mall in Antioch, on the south side of Nashville. Once the trash started moving into the area it went down hill. Then when assaults, robberies and thugs started overrunning the mall, normal people just stopped coming.
Nobody wants to go to the mall to hangout with gangmembers and wannabes

Which seems absolutely inevitable for every mall, or neighborhood, or suburb, or city. It's astonishing how the hood element destroys areas, pushes new development and redirects traffic patterns. Probably couldn't do this without HUD's insistence that all areas need a ghetto.

Lol. Did you see a black person there once?

The centers doing better are the outside malls. It's been going that way for years.

Will be abandoned by demolished
Will take someone wanting the land to demo it
Reason is because an asbestos inspection will be required prior to demo.
