The failure of making Mall space available for micro businesses at prices they can afford causes 2 major problems: 1. it prevents young entrepreneurs from venturing and becoming responsible to pay rent etc. ;and, 2. it invites those youngsters to do nothing and dis-value intellectual expansion aka learning. I cant think of a more wasteful thing to do than let a mall go fallow when so many entrepreneurs need the tiniest of assistance to get going and becoming taxpaying capitalists. . Reply . .

Every so often a rumor circulates that it will be demoed and something else built there. There are whole wings walled off by berms so customers cant go there; a few anchors remain but all the little stores closed long ago. They ran a subway from Baltimore, and one of the stops is near the mall. People say thats when the mall, and Owings Mills in general, began a decline. I dont know; I dont live near there any more. It surely did not help that they had to close the path connecting the subway station to the mall after a woman was murdered while walking along it. . Collapse Replies (6) Reply . .

More John 9 hours ago 3 👎 0 👍 There are at least ten malls/shopping centers in Owings Mills. Unless you specify which one youre talking about, your post is meaningless. More Waffennss 6 hours ago 0 👎 0 👍 doesnt matter, at all, if one out of ten is failing, you got a problem, More John 6 hours ago 0 👎 0 👍 One out of ten businesses in any sector is failing at any given time. Restaurants, clothing stores, shoe stores, real estate brokers, landscapers, plumbers, you name it. Starting a business is risky. A lot of know-nothings think its easy. Like just open your doors and voila! Youre rich! Our schools are turning out a lot of really stupid arzses.

Maybe, their isnt enough different merchandise in the mall than outside the mall that people, just dont care anymore. The prices dont justify visiting the mall. For me, out of all the specific mall stores (all the small shops in malls), I only like one store at this moment, and I would tend to care about that store only when there are great movies out. I do like some snack food places also (3 that I can think of), but these are foods I wouldnt eat every month anyway - Maybe once or twice a year. I would absolutely love it if I could just go to Auntie Annes Pretzels not inside a mall. Just put it in a strip mall where it would take me 10 seconds to get to it. . Collapse Replies (2) Reply . .

The rest of shopping is done on line, and I could do so even for that mens store, which I will probably start doing. I have not been in a mall in probably 3 years or more. More John 8 hours ago 0 👎 0 👍 There are many people who just want to go to a single store and leave, but there are are many others who prefer a lot of different stores under one roof. They can even eat at the mall without going out into the cold in the winter or the heat in the summer. This idea that all malls are dying is nonsense. A small percentage are but then a certain
