Not really. KoP is too large for its own good--it always seems to have a dead part. When I was a kid, it was the Court. Today, it's around the old Wanamaker's (being razed for a Target). Tomorrow, it'll be the Sears wing, once that company inevitably implodes.

The only malls that will command a high foot traffic in perpetuity are those that can be better classified as indoor gallerias (i.e. city center malls whose atria function like a pedestrian street). The ones in Boston's Back Bay are a good example of this.
