The malls around me generally only were there because nothing else was available, not that they were in good areas. All of the original malls closed pretty much as soon as something new opened. The only one left is Eastland, it's not in a good area, and it's slated for demolition as soon as what's left of Westland is cleaned up.
Tuttle, then Polaris and Easton killed them. Polaris is doing Tuttle in, and Polaris is mostly muzzieland these days.
Must be different on the west coast then. For example: in Vancouver WA, the mall is situated literally next to the freeway, in the almost dead center of the city. Los Angeles malls are all situated near major freeways, and typically near residential areas (West Covina, Santa Anita, Northridge in particular). Different designs for different areas, I suppose.
Same here, just newer ones took over.
