My local mall did most of this... but all as cheaply and mechanically as possible. No one goes to the arcade because the games aren't good, it's too expensive, the setup is very much an after thought, and it's not designed in any way to attract people. There's a shooting gallery thing with airsoft, again it's over priced so no one goes to it. We had a sweet antique store in ours when I was a kid with a whole themed hallway that people from this city still frequently reminisce about, but now it's just empty white halls, closed stores and dark dead ends. It's very much a conservatives attempt to keep things running without investing too much.
That really sucks. The mall here isn't packed by any means, but there's a decent amount of foot traffic. I'm there a lot because my daughter likes to dress punky, which means taking her to Hot Topic and Spencer's Gifts when she won't accept me ordering it for her online. She wants to feel how spiky the collars are for herself, I guess.
