And what state are we talking? I'm in Kentucky, and there are two malls in about 30 miles or so both directions and one is still pretty packed with stores, but they are about to lose Sears. The place always seems busy and is considerably larger than the one north of me. THAT one however just keeps losing stores, some due to the economy like Sears(about two years ago) and others are moving to another busier side of town. A firm out of New York bought it with plans to put stuff in like a dentist office and such because it can't survive with just stores, but in the year or so since they bought it after it filed for bankruptcy, they haven't done a thing (and they are reportedly hit and miss with other malls they bought) So what are yours like? Hmm...trying to figure out which ones you're talking about. I'm in KY as well, grew up less than 30 minutes from Cincinnati. We live on the edge of nowhere now, though, and I love it. If you're close to Cincy, have you ever visited Cincinnati Mills? It's a wasteland. Last time we were there, our kids could run around everywhere and the pictures we took made it look like we were the last people alive on Earth. The only thing they have(had?) going for them are Bass Pro Shops and a Babys R Us. wow. I’m actually 3 hours or so from there-my two malls are in Owensboro and bowling green

SoCal, so lots and lots of malls about.
I love malls. Got a special place for them in my heart cause my family used to go a lot when I was a kid.
Nearest is West Covina Mall and that’s about five minutes away. It’s alright. Pretty standard.
My favorite is probably Santa Anita Mall by the horse racetracks. Love that Mall.

Also the mall I used to work at when I went to college, Garden State Plaza in Paramus, is if anything busier than it was when I worked there. Which is absurd as that mall was huge and always packed. Granted it's not a local mall for me anymore, but even when I didn't work there, I went there and the Palisades Center (which is also huge and very busy) just over the state border in New York a lot when I was in college.
I think the two are among the biggest malls in terms of size and retail space in the entire country.

I had a brain fart and kind of forgot that KY extends further than just "Northern Kentucky" aka Cincinnati-Lite until about two-thirds of the way through my post. Beyond that I was already committed, so I went full stupid.
