It's been years since I've stepped foot in a mall. Setting aside my "not a kid any more" factor, I would still think this Amazon, eBay, WallMart internet age would have fatally-diminished both the shopping and social aspect of their traffic for all ages. Is this MANY BRANDS under one roof concept still desirable enough to the Cabal? Enough to keep on life support? Seemed kinda clear even to semi-awake me that the branding angle was sometimes more important than actual profitability… awareness of all the "zombie corporations" out there now confirms concept..
