A Cincinnati Ghost Mall

We stopped at the Cincinnati mall on our way down to South Carolina.  To our surprise it was a GHOST MALL!!  There were so few cars in the parking lot (for a Saturday afternoon) that, at first, we even questioned if it was open.  It has a few anchor stores that are doing okay, but inside the mall itself there was only one open store, two open eateries in the food court and about a dozen patrons total.  Most of the escalators were turned off, there was one janitor and one mall security guy (riding around on a Segway) whose main "job" seemed to be shooting the breeze.  It was kind of nice - we got to park very close to the door, the kids could run up and down the halls without being in anyone's way, the play area was pretty much empty, etc.
