The Cleveland Arcade, the oldest shopping mall in the U.S (1890), and partially inspired by the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (1877), really deserves a mention, and probably a photograph. Please take a look at its Wikipedia page.

I saw that article. But that trend is not going to save America from the fact that it still has far too many malls and shopping centers, as well as the fact that power centers and lifestyle centers have lower overhead and lower prices than traditional malls. For example, traditional American department stores, the shopping mall's traditional anchor, are still slowly dying. It's not clear when America will find the right number of department stores that can survive against e-commerce, Walmart, Amazon, and Zara, and now fast fashion sites like Shein and Temu. It's probably going to take another decade for excess older malls to finish dying and for the American shopping mall industry to eventually stabilize around a core group of popular upscale malls. --
