I just came from a short trip to our brand-new giant outlet mall-- my first trip up there since it opened over Labor Day weekend. It was empty. Park-by-the entrance, no-one-in-the-stores empty. Mall employees easily outnumbered customers. One store was already having its going-out-of-business sale. Now admittedly it was 10:00 am and raining, but it's also less than a week before Christmas. Our local economy must be doing worse than I thought.
