A not so busy busiest time

We have entered what is supposed to be the retailer's busiest time, but Quaker Bridge Mall is not nearly as busy as I remember it being in past years. There were plenty of spots, even up close and, while bustling with people, I wouldn't call it packed.

Quaker Bridge, I'm assuming, is no different than any mall anywhere else, which does not bode well for retailers or the economy as a whole.

I'll be curious to see the numbers on sales when they become available, but I wouldn't be too optimistic.
