As an European, it boggles my mind that small town malls were ever a big thing in the US.
In my country, cities still have malls, but small towns never did. There's just not enough people + anyone who wants to go shopping will just go to the nearest city.
Then again, I guess our cities are American small towns by population...
Small town America didn't have a "third space". That's essentially what made malls successful.
European small towns still have a walkable city center of some kind with restaurants and shops. Shopping malls are America's version of the European city center.
