[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why IS the Ballston mall so awful? Why can't they get some decent stores? So the houses nearby are "only" $700,000 instead of $1M. We can still afford to shop at the Gap.[/quote]

Here's a whole article about Ballston from Arlington Magazine:

And an interesting quote from the article:

But that increase in sales may be part of the mall’s problem. The shops that occupy its retail space (including stores such as Bath & Body Works, Payless ShoeSource and Things Remembered) have enjoyed an uptick in business, while the ice rink and movie theater, along with restaurants such as Union Jack’s and Rock Bottom Brewery, continue to draw healthy crowds.

“One of the issues with the mall is that it’s doing well enough…it’s not failing,” Holzheimer says. “It’s kind of mid-level in terms of square-foot sales. The movie theater does okay, the mall does okay, Macy’s does okay, so there’s no emergency to do something drastic.”[/quote]
