Is Fairlane the next mall to die?

[wolverine]

Instead of speculating on the health and future of a mall based on a single, flawed data point, perhaps a better indicator of its health would be the number of vacancies you observed inside the mall?

The national vacancy rate for regional malls back in April stood at 9.1% [source]. Did Fairlane look to be less than 90% leased when you were there? If so, then maybe you could justifiably create a thread like this.

Mall health is not measured by vacancy, it's sales per square foot.
As the OP pointed out you can have a bunch of stores with no one shopping in them.
