<p>FWIW - re/ the awful mall Fredo mentions:</p>

<p>All of New England seems to agree with you, Fredo. The place has been a sad failure. Bad Feng Shui or something - nobody liked the place. To Worcester's credit - they're tearing it down and reconfiguring the area. There will be park and mixed use, I think - shops and offices - instead.</p>

<p>Nope, I'm not affiliated with Clark or the City of Worcester, just live within shoutin' range. Went to the Outlet Mall a big one time, and was creeped out, too. There are a couple other malls in the area if you need a mall.</p>

<p>Go to Tower Hill, the Worcester Botanical Gardens in Boylston (about a 15 minute drive from downtown) if you want to see something extraordinary instead of the mall.</p>

<p>Not just Worcester ...</p>

<p>During the 80s, an ill-fated shopping mall was built in downtown Boston abutting the red light district called Lafayette Place. The idea was to build it like a fortress and make people feel safe. It was creepy and strange. People came once and never returned. They ended up tearing it up and redeveloping, and is now Lafayette Corporate Plaza, a mixed use commercial complex.</p>
