The Future
This mall does not seem to have a bright future. After 3 "Shut downs" followed by re-openings, there is a likely chance the next "Shut Down" will be permanent. Macy's has been struggling, but might remain in the event the mall closes. The center is 4 miles south of Decatur, thirty minutes shy of Lenox Square Mall and Phipps Plaza, as well as Southlake Mall of Morrow, Georgia, and is seemingly not holding well against the newer competitors.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“One merit in Carlyle, let the subject be what it may, is the freedom of prospect he allows, the entire absence of cant and dogma. He removes many cartloads of rubbish, and leaves open a broad highway. His writings are all unfenced on the side of the future and the possible. Though he does but inadvertently direct our eyes to the open heavens, nevertheless he lets us wander broadly underneath, and shows them to us reflected in innumerable pools and lakes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
