THE AMERICAN MALL – A DYING BREED?

Everywhere I look I see headlines proclaiming that malls are “out.” CBS News reports, a dying breed: The American shopping mall, Business Insider reads, America’s Shopping Malls Are Dying a Slow, Ugly Death, Bloomberg says, Malled: The Hollowing Out of an American Institution and the New Yorker delivers, Goodbye, Malls of America, Are Malls Over?
