Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Would make a nice case study for the 'Wicked Dumb Business Decisions 101' course at the Wharton School of Business. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL5c39VQXGw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeCity Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 They need to open a jazz club in it. That would turn the whole thing around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with the Golden Arm Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 always wondered where the Weylu's folks ended up - old stomping grounds, R.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Not sure if this has been discussed here before or not, but... http://www.deadmalls.com/ If you're old enough, it's pretty chilling reading sometimes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I do want to say many local malls are full of humans, but vacant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 By the way, I was in the retail shopping center business on the tenant's side years ago, and it struck me that they never mentioned the rent they are demanding. With only twelve occupancies, it's no wonder you don't see any shoppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Wood Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 My wife and I spent a week in Guangzhou on our final week of our honeymoon. It's a massive city, equal to if not greater than Hong Kong in population and size. We didn't go to this mall, but we went to a few newly built temples that are similar in scale. Amazing architecture; almost no people. There is a lot of overbuilding going on there, and not a lot of people with disposable incomes. Here's a picture from a newly built temple park near the city.
