@tromo Coffeshops at malls are NOT a center for intelligentsia Starbucks?
Ps Shopping malls are going the way of drivein theaters... the 'downtown shopping street' malls too. No one has the money to shop much and most of those streets have nothing people need. At my downtown you can't buy socks, unless spending $30 on Merino wool designer brand socks. Really. You have to go to the town outskirts 1/2 vacant malls Target, or Ross, and those two discount chainstores are having econ probs too
