Without the 'strip.'

They're trying to evolve the outdoor real estate into more of a 'neighborhood' you stroll through with shops, as opposed to a line of storefronts on the side of the thoroughfare.

Here's a picture of an upscale outdoor mall they made out of bare fields a few years back. There's 2-3 of these lanes with independent storefronts.

Enclosed malls are dying except in places like San Francisco and other places with generally poor weather or not much space. Open shopping malls/centers are thriving everywhere else and are quickly replacing the old malls.

I meant nothing by that - I was just ribbing you mate ;)

Been at least ten years. I shop in my underwear now

Yes, like really big strip malls with overpriced stores and restaurants and usually have some glitzy word like "Towne", "Pointe" or "Centre" in the name.

We have 300 days of shitty weather a year and they're still dying here.

Lol, we have 3 of those here and they all have “town center” in their name.

So long ago I don’t even remember when I last stepped foot in one.
Probably 15 years.

The Internet is killing off most actual traditional retail and that's ok. Some things should be extinct.

Intresting the malls i went to are dead or dying a slow death. padre staple mall and sunrise mall used to be the place to be now it dead.

Wouldn’t be Fast a times at Ridgemont High without a mall. Why do people who work at malls think they are cool?

Mine was definitely Independence Center and once every blue moon Bannister Mall.

Yet Old Navy lives.

Whats dying are Country Clubs - I don't know how on earth they can stay afloat.

San Tan Village in Gilbert is an outdoor mall
