Atlantic center viability

Has anyone been to the atlantic center recently? damn. Target aside, it is just the saddest place. At least one of the bigger retailers there (i forget which – some kind of home decor place) has a “going out of business” sale going on (a real one, not a fake one).

I wonder if atlantic yards is an attempt by the developer to shore up his retail before it all collapses? there is no way the stores in these two existing malls could be profitable!? (ok except for target). office max? burlington coat factory? circuit city with one cash register open?
The worst mall in new york!
