Amusingly enough, I can't find the old post I did on the same topic, mostly related to the mall near my work that's turned into a Wal-Mart. It was much the same sense that all these essays had, the ennui that is felt when you pass through a place of commerce where the money has ceased to flow. They even cover a mall I've been to, the Honeydale mall where I bought Uday, Qusay & Chemical Sherif their groomsmen gifts.
Very much an area of urban development/decay I find interesting.
