I have never been a big fan of malls since I have no interest in shopping at most of the stores in them, but enclosed malls are certainly better than horrors like The Boardwalk. That said, many malls are failing. I was in Westmount Mall in London recently and it is dead. All of the second floor no longer has retail, only offices. Much of the main floor is empty. The closing of Sears was a big blow to it. There are probably too many malls to survive the current retail environment.
