archersangelmy brother & i had a chance to visit a rather upscale mall about an hour & a half north of here recently.
i live in a rural area & we have 2 malls with in 10-20 miles of my current location. one is almost dead; with a dentist office, a physical therapy place, a grocery store, a movie theater (that doesn't show movies until after 6 p.m.) & most of the rest is given over to space for a flea market on thursdays, fridays & saturdays.
the other mall is very much alive with only 3 or 4 places that are empty.
the fancy mall is 2 levels and they have a bunch of stores that the active mall near here doesn't; abercrombie & fitch (which was dimly lit), build-a-bear workshop, an apple retail store (which my brother drooled over), some kind of gourmet chef store, a macy's & several places in the food court. (our mall no longer has a food court)
and a few stores we do have; sears, foot locker, gamestop & pac sun.
they also had a barns & nobel that was in a separate building. (the active mall no longer has a bookstore, since borders closed down a few months ago) it was a, large, airy place with a DVD/CD section & a starbuck's. they didn't have any books that i wanted. actually they did, but not on sale. (i don't like paying full price for books) we drooled over the stuff at starbuck's. they had sandwiches, stuffed pretzels & cheesecake! my brother ranted about how the one at the westin we stayed at for dragon con didn't have any of that. (the one in our local target doesn't have that either) maybe some day we'll go back to try some of their stuff.
