Is Macys really closing in Birmingham and Providence Malls?

Why would Macys close in Birmingham in the Hoover Riverchasw Galleria and while Birmingham has 1 million people. And why in Providence Malll. If it happens can't they put Dillard's where Macys is and Providence Mall Primark and Target and housing?

The closest thing left to a Montgomery Ward

I've always found this interesting as someone that lives here - after Montgomery Ward folded, the name was purchased by Colony Brands (Swiss Colony), headquartered in Monroe, Wisconsin. Ward's was reborn as an online-only store, with a focus on their Ward's credit card as a means to rebuild credit.

This is their outlet store. Shared with some of the other Colony Brands in this building, you can still find Ward's branded items, including their Chef Tested line of kitchen appliances. It's a shell of its former self, but for those who remember Montgomery Ward in their malls, it's the most nostalgia you'll get from Ward's.

Sad

Sitting here on Black Friday, in the mall I grew up in and I can hear the death rattle. So many empty spaces. If it weren’t for the places my daughter is here for (Hollister, Aeropostale), I feel there’d be no reason to still be around.

I can remember when this place was THE place. Christmas season you couldn’t find a parking spot. Tonight, I got a spot right by the door. Even Santa looks like he’s ready to call it a day. It’s just sad.

Anyone have anything from the Carousel Mall/Harris building in San Bernardino before it was demolished?

I grew up going to this mall (and the Inland Center) and was pretty torn up by its decline and demolition. Especially interested in pictures of the Harris building as I was full on in love with it. Thanks.

Macys and malls

Today my brother said he thinks Macys will close all together / go bankrupt. What do you say? He also lives 10 min from the Fox Run Mall NH location. I said too that Macys buying out all those chains was like Ames buying Zayre out. Whatll the malls do w those spaces? Also why can't chains like American Eagle, Hot topic, Spencer gifts, Areostophe, Zumez etc be open to strip plazas and not malls only? That is what I call failure to adapt. If these chains are on closing malls what of relocate nearby or be in that malls redevelopment not just bow out of that area. I also feel Macys buying those chains out and closing many stores hurt and or killed a lot of malls.

How I would fix Holly Hill Mall (burlington,nc)

I would put a kohls in the former JcPenney (the spot would be expanded) and where the sears was/ publix now, i would probably put in a target, since their is not alot of targets in the area. The dunhams would stay, I think the entire mall should receive a tiny renovation like adding new fountains, flooring, planters even though the fountains probably wouldn't happen it would be a nice touch, I think if the mall could get enough tenants they could put a food court back into the mall I'm thinking maybe around where the kohls or target would be, and I think the outside should receive new concrete, planters, a new parking lot and maybe some planters in the parking lot, since the mall is mostly mom and pop now, I think if the mall became more successful again more chains would come to the mall. Bath and body works, chick fil a returning to the mall would be amazing but sadly bath and body works moved to the other shopping center (forgot the name) but that chick fil a was the first in North Carolina I believe, so a comeback would be amazing. Honestly most of this wouldn't happen in the current times but this is just what I would like to happen
