If malls are dying across the country, and online shopping is so popular

Then explain traffic in and around the Mall of Louisiana right now. Online shopping continues to evolve and change the way we shop, but the mall looks like it did 10, 20 plus years ago. Is this nationwide or is the Mall of Louisiana and Baton Rouge an aberration?

People going to the mall to hang out and not shop.

Just because it's busy a few weeks a year doesn't make up for the other 300+ days they are selling less in brick and mortar stores.
You're better than this thread, Paul.

But are they? I thought that was more of a Generation X thing to do, not so much with these kids in 2015.

Just a question. Yeah, so by your premise malls are surviving because of this one weekend a year?

There's nothing else to do in Baton Rouge.

Poors still love to impulse buy

MOL also has a lot going for it. Great location with very easy access off of two interstates. The only decent mall for a large swath of population between Lafayette and New Orleans.

I wonder if malls in New York, California, Florida and elsewhere are busy today.

There's a reason it's called Black Friday.

They are surviving by evolving. There is still use for brick and mortar stores. They just don't sell at the volume and at the margin they used to.
