Well in my hometown of Altona, Manitoba, there is about 5000 people living there. Unfortunately, like 20 years ago they thought it would be a great idea to build a mall. Today, this mall houses a Grocery store, Fields (cheap necessities store), a local insurance agency, a small electronics store, and other small local amenities. Let me tell you it is one of the most depressing places to go into. It's poorly maintained, there are empty storefronts, and it wreaks of rural deadness.

Seriously, who builds a mall to serve a town of 5k (even less at the time it was built) and the surrounding population?
