RE: So Long, Farewell...
My local mall isn't very big but it still seems to be doing ok with most of the stores occupied. However, the company that owns it (along with some other malls around the country) isn't doing well so its future is uncertain.
I know of another mall not too far away that has probably less than half of it storefronts occupied. It's big attraction (to me anyway) was that it had a Books-a-Million in it. However, they moved out and across the street as of July I believe. They also have a movie theater but we all know those haven't been doing very well either.
I don't remember every seeing a standalone Walden Software store but I do remember their bookstores having a Walden Software section. I bought at least one game for my Commodore 64 at one of those. Most malls have lost most of the stores I liked. Bookstores, software stores, arcades, more varied food courts, etc.
We have one mall in the area that is still doing okay, but the guy that bought it has been putting a ton of effort into making it a destination. That being said, I think there are still one or two anchor stores that are empty in it. The other two malls in the area (one of them being in this post) are just deader than dead.
