the latest trend is called the new urbanism open air shops with apts and condos within walking distance. the malls i think will survive but not as they have in the past.

LOL. My teenage niece talks about Shanango Valley mall and how its too small. I've seen some really dead malls( check out dead malls.com for an idea) and they are eye sores.
A newer trend is outdoor shopping malls that aren't enclosed. Operating costs are lower and you have fewer problems with loiterers and kids camping out all day. Grove City Mall is impressive and probably the best outlet mall around, in Pa. anyway. In SE pa we just had two upscale outdoor malls built, one in Wyomissing( a strip mall basically) and one in Limerick, (similar to Grove City). You go to the store you want and don't have to walk and walk.

Does the prospect of a mall in South Lebanon -- one that doesn't stock flannel shirts, pickup truck parts, and ammo, anyway -- make anyone else laugh hysterically? Or am I still operating on a 20-year-old stereotype?

Here's the thing. We can go to places like Walmart and Target and get good prices on most everything we need. What we can't get at those places is an experience. Ideally, women want some glitz with their shopping experience...a sense of festiveness and beauty and of being pampered. If a mall doesn't offer that, we might as well go to Walmart. That's why a mall that doesn't maintain itself to perfection will fall from favor quick.

The mall in St.Clairsville, Ohio is going downhill. Actually it seems like the strip malls and plaza shopping centers are taking off like wildfire and leaving the old-fashioned malls in the dust.

Nuthin's wrong wif flannel shirts, ammo OR pickup parts! I just prefer my flannel shirts from L.L. Bean or Bauer or Lands End. If I needed ammo, I'd buy it at a local store or maybe one of the national chains like Gander mountain. Pickup parts? My local mechanic! Wally World sux; I sure hated goin' there today to buy the new Eagles CD...
