While online shopping has hit bricks and mortar retail hard, it has also largely made mall-style retail obsolete. The style of shopping that malls are optimal for - wandering into various stores, seeing different things etc. - just doesn't happen as much anymore. People do that on the internet and either buy it online, or go to the shop that sells the item they are looking for to try it on. In that context, a format like the Boardwalk or Sportsworld works really well. People can drive close to the store, walk in, and then leave. Doing the same at a mall is typically a much bigger ordeal that someone like myself anyway, is simply just not going to bother with. You still drive there and park. If you're lucky, you parked in a good spot, if you're not, you're walking a long time. You have the trouble of finding the store in the mall. You have to deal with more people and are more likely to run into people hawking things at you like cellphone vendors or random knick-knack carts. All just to go try one thing on and walk away again. Boardwalk-style malls don't have any of those issues.

People can't drive close to the store  because everyone doesn't have a car. The Boardwalk is a horrible, horrible place for pedestrians and transit users. I was forced to go there several times for medical appointments at the medical building. I fucking hated being there. The place should be bombed. It was designed by an idiot.

Um, I am not quite sure how you really feel about this place,  are you able to be more clear ?  lol   sarcasm here, that was awesome.  you made my day !
