Not Precisely a Mall edit

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Twenty Ninth Street is not a "mall" as one normally understands that term, even though it is built on the former site of Crossroads Mall, which was a true mall with indoor pedestrian walkways.

Twenty Ninth Street is best described as a collection of small strip malls and large big-box stores, separated by streets which carry automobile traffic. Yes, in the days of Crossroads Mall there were no motor-vehicle streets that traversed this site, but now those streets exist. These are not city streets, but instead privately-maintained streets, maintained by the Macerich Company.

If Twenty Ninth Street is not precisely a mall, then what can we call it? I chose the same terminology used on the official Twenty Ninth Street web site, i.e. "retail district."
