I guess while we are on the topic of malls and shopping centers, I got to wondering if the Aiken Mall is still thriving?  When I left Augusta almost 6 years ago I had heard that mall was struggling.  A few month back while visiting Aiken I drove by it and noticed they had put in new parking with traffic circles and the parking lots werent empty.   Has this mall been renovated?  Seems like a prime mall for a new "Lifestyle addition" like the Augusta Mall is getting.  Aiken would be very receptive to something like that I would imagine.

I posted a Aiken County Forum on the SC page. I suppose it's in the more appropriate place.  All things related to Aiken county and it's many cities and communities can be referred there.

Aiken County, SC

True, but Aiken is a very important part of the Augusta metro area.  Moreso than Spartanburg or Anderson are to Greenville.
