Reply to comment by rectalhorror in I just had a great weekend visit to Charm City, but was wondering what the local rumors are about what is going on with Harborplace? I know it’s been on the decline but it was a bit of a shock to see how much of it is closed. by mag55555

I think you mean "enclosed" malls. Strip malls have Walmart and Costco stores and are doing fine across America.

Such a weird change to see in my life time. It's county stuff, but to see both Owings Mills Mall and Westview Malls change to these strip malls with a handful of anchor stores has been interesting. And I see this a lot when a travel.

I agree with you, sir. Even Columbia Mall seems to be slowly transitioning into a strip mall. As someone who grew up in the old-school enclosed malls, it is kind of sad that they are obsolete.
