Things could change if they wanted to! I lived in Albany New York for 3 years, and see both sides of what could happen to a mall! 2 malls in the capital region, one Colony Center, and the other Latham Circle Mall. One took the initiative to bring in new stores and most restaurants, while the other sat there and did nothing, and according to the article below is deaader than Highland Mall!!
Highland Mall management can reverse their trend, they are in the heart of the city, right off the highway, they can reverse their trend!!
