I agree and add to it malls were doomed to fail when all allowed city bus routes along their paths. Many refuse to frequent them due to this one issue.
Randall Mall became the place to go to get mugged or have your car stolen. The demographics of Randall changed, and not for the better. I shop at Cam’s Asian Market, which is in part of the dead Toys R Us store across from the Mall. The whole area is dead. Vacant buildings line all the streets!
Was a thread here several moths ago where that very subject came up. Most of us agreed that the area doesn’t have to go to pot, just adding a city bus stop can help kill a mall.
“I agree and add to it malls were doomed to fail when all allowed city bus routes along their paths. Many refuse to frequent them due to this one issue.”
I think this was more related to their low-wage workforce than shoppers; how much mall bling can you bring onto a bus?
I have not been to our mall since our city bus system put in a transfer station there.
