That Albee Square Mall was always a dump from the minute they opened it...cheap stores, dismal, no real presence...even their Mickey D's sucked. They tried to draw more shoppers with the Toys R Us and that didn't work... Good Riddance! Can't wait for the new development! That whole Fulton St. area needs an overall...sneaker store, jewelry store, cell phone store, bootlegged movies and other crap.. Fulton St. needs some substance

Don't you feel sorry for the current shopowners a little? I think Albee is pretty tacky, but I wonder if there's a more 'win-win' solution. Even though that mall is tacky/miserable to some, Fulton street is packed on weekends.

I don't mind a little tacky crap mixed in with nicer stores. I can't see that bulldozing the entire fulton mall, and creating the 'corporate mall' of starbucks, outback steakhouse, olive garden, and a best buy will make that mall anymore desirable. I wouldn't shop there if they did that either.
