| - What a shame. This used to be a vibrant mall with decent stores and pleasant food court. Now the halls are bereft of major brand names except Sears, JCP, VS, and Macys - all of which are not quite shining examples of their name brands. Where vendors such as Barnes & Nobles, Ruby Tuesdays, Mrs. Fields, and Starbucks used to be are now occupied by ghetto wear, discount wigs, cell phone bling, and vacancy signs.
I mean Starbucks left for goodness sakes... a Starbucks! Really?? I mean when was the last time you saw a Starbucks pack up and leave anything?!
Unfortunately, this mall is well on its way into ghetto-ness - an unfortunate by-product of the decline of the neighborhood surrounding it. It seems to be following in the footsteps of the once great Northfield and Euclid Malls, both which succumbed to the sprawling ghetto and eventually fell into major disrepair and closure. I actually feel sorry for the poor retirees who I see occasionally walking through this place which I'm sure was much different in their heyday long ago.
The only reason I come to this mall twice a year is because I really like my dentist (Dentalworks in Sears) whom I've seen for years. But with the limited shopping choices and the downright ghetto feel, I don't do my shopping here.
