I watched buildings from the 1820s torn down to be replaced by the Gallery, the first suburban mall in a downtown area in the country. People were against it & wanted it to be built by tunneling through the existing old buildings to keep the on-street ambiance. It's now dead. I think that they could make a pseudo mall by just having individual buildings next to each other. Some buildings could have multiple small shops. If you're in an inner city to shop, suburban malls grow old.
I agree, shopping malls should stay in the subs off an exit of an interstate, not in the middle of a city. I agree with shopping needs to be built Uptown but with small individual shops. But there again, Charlotte tore down all the small buildings to build larger towers.

Why would I EVER go to an inner city to shop? Or for any other reason for that matter? (Rhetorical question)

Then don't go when they build it. You have some interesting opinions on Charlotte for not living here. You must be scratching your head about why the real estate is so expensive in Uptown.
Lol... yeah, someone must be in their moms basement mad at the world
