In todays world there is a lot of competition you have strips malls, Walmarts, Targets, Online shopping (big time) and some even drive hours to shop at really big name stores like IKEA, H&M, Crate & Barrel, Outlet shopping.

I read one article where some malls are doing some serious work to their food courts.

Default Madison Square

We only go to that mall when my husband wants something in the Sears tool area. We literally park right in front and go in/out. Couldn't tell you what is in the mall at all. I wonder how many are like us these days?

I went there last Christmas and it was dead. Last week I went to the Parkway City Mall for the first time. Very nice.

I also park at sears and go in for tools when needed without going into the mall itself. The last time we went in the mall was at least 6 or 8 years ago just guessing and may have been longer than that. We went on a Saturday evening and it was so full of thugs and heathen teenagers arguing, fighting, and running all over the place we swore we would never go back and haven't. I heard they started a new policy about teenagers having to leave after a certain time if not accompanied by an adult but since we wrote the place off so many years ago and got used to not even considering it when shopping, we just haven't been back.

With all of that said, I prefer malls over these strip centers and shopping centers like Bridgestreet. I usually go to Parkway Place mall and sometimes go to malls in the surrounding bigger cities. I hate the shopping centers like Bridgestreet. When I go shopping, I want to park my car, walk inside out of the hot or cold into a temperature controlled environment like inside a mall. I hate walking up and down these strips in the sweltering heat or freezing cold or even worse the rain.

That property is still valuable. There was talk a while back of them converting some of the old large spaces into offices for defense contractors.

They need to put it out of it's misery.

I really hope they do the mixed development plan that has been thrown around.

I know they closed the Dillard's in Decatur, but what kind of clearance store will it be exactly?
