Not Quite So Great Anymore Mall



I needed minutes for my cell phone, and while we were there we walked a lap around the Great Mall.



That joint is dead. All of maybe four outlets open in the food court, the rest shuttered up. J.M.Porters has a display in about every fifth retail unit, but with the bars down, for window shopping only. A Firefighting museum and a model train museum are in units that once had actual retailers.

There's a church in what used to be a Soutwest decor shop, and they still have the Southwestern stuff, it's just the church's furniture now.



They can't even attract a Christian Science Reading Room or Libertarian Party Headquarters.



It's kinda of cool, some of the stuff to see, but there's so much of it that's utterly marginal, they must be practically giving the space away.
