The Exton Mall here where I live is already heading this way. A Whole Foods opened last year and a huge apartment building is almost complete and another is being considered where the old Sears Automotive stands. Half of the mall on the inside is vacant and the Macy's anchoring the middle of it has to be on it's last legs. It's really run down inside that store. The Sears is gone and the JC Penny's was turned into a entertainment venue. One part of the mall was taken over by the Main Line Health System for medical offices.

Malls being a mixed bag only makes sense....living, shopping and dining all together is still a very attractive lifestyle.
