How to Save the American Mall — With Live Theatre

Once upon a time, the shopping mall was a kind of Mecca. A pleasant place for people to congregate with convenient access to all kinds of shops, restaurants, and kiosks. Bookstores, clothing stores, cobblers, toy and game stores, all packed together with several massive anchor chains — Macy’s, Sears, JC Penny, and more. Teenagers would flock to the mall to hang out and spend their excess cash, while seniors would go several times a week, if only to walk the circuit of the mall’s interior for exercise.
