Could it be that the ski slope is really helping to keep the mall open? maybe it helps boost some traffic? i havent stepped in a mall in years. the last time was KOP, and i was just frustrated to be there trying to get to one store to get like a special flour sifter for my SIL for Christmas. Im not a shopper, so going to browse in a mall isnt my idea of fun. when i was 14 going to spencers gifts buying fart spray and getting Italian Delight was kind of an every friday night thing.
