    Long live the mall!  Not a surprising outlook if you are one of the three biggest mall developers, who are quoted in this article.  The comments below the article are interesting.

    You're right about the comments, and the sources in the article as well.  While we should all recognize that nothing architectural truly dies (look at all the great historic buildings we're adapting, remodeling and repurposing), the market will move on.  

    Great post.
