This place used to be hopping!

Not that many years ago, this was a pretty happening mall! It was no Woodfield, but it had plenty of shops and a nice foodcourt. I think there was even a scene from a holiday episode of ER filmed here (nothing dramatic, characters chatting while Christmas shopping or something).
I was in the area so I decided to pop back in and nose around a bit. This place became a ghost town! I had heard it was on the decline, but now nearly nothing! I remember coming here as a teenager and assuming that it would be around basically forever (like Stratford Square, where our parents would walk with us when we were younger).
I do wonder what happened. Is ordering things from the internet really becoming so popular these days? Did they loose several anchor shops at once and were unable to secure new ones in time?
I asked the woman in the Radio Shack if she new anything. She looked like she had been there with very little work all day. She said that she didn't know, was from Chicago, and had only started working there.
It's sad to see what its become in a few short years.
