Curmudgeons have little use for malls - or their creepy inhabitants. For reasons we can't fathom, women love malls. Where I live, we have one high-end and one low-end mall reasonably close by (any mall with Sears as an anchor store qualifies as low-end in my book).
The high-end one is useful for exercise: a bunch of us oldsters parade around it rather than confronting actual weather and traffic during these nasty winter months (and frankly, an air conditioned stroll in a heat wave is also quite refreshing). The stores in this mall are just fancy repositories of ridiculously expensive clothes that are to be avoided.
The low-end mall is useful for its food court. And maybe the kiosk with the iPhone covers.
So, as far as curmudgeons are concerned, like Red Lobster being popular for its cheddar biscuits rather than its seafood, malls are useful for everything OTHER THAN the stores.
