Mall of NH isn’t doing great either. I went there to walk (I’m on maternity leave with a newborn and it was too cold to walk outside with him) while I was visiting my parents in Manchvegas. I had worked at Sears as a teenager and actually had nice memories there. It was sad to see the empty storefronts. Macy’s still felt vibrant, Old Navy was busy, and there were some nice new stores, including one featuring the work of local craftspeople, but overall, the place felt run down. I was still happy to be able to have a place to walk indoors, but seeing the place where I learned how to have a real job be so sad was bittersweet.

True, but the syrup tastes just as good in May. You also miss out on the sugar on snow in March where you can still get in some great spring skiing as well.
