Do You Still Shop at the Mall?

Perhaps I'm getting older and the appeal of the mall is dwindling.  Perhaps my patience of crowded stores and not-so-helpful service reps has decreased.  Either way, I would say that I've probably shopped at the mall maybe four times this year - opting for freestanding stores like Urban Outfitters or little fashion boutiques here in downtown San Diego.
