"As for Cafaro discouraging stores from going downtown, most mall leases require no competing store owned by the tenant to open within a five mile radius of the mall. Pullman is about thirteen miles away, so if any of the mall tenants had been interested, the mall wouldn't have stood in the way."

This is not what I said...... I was told that they threatened not to let stores in any of their malls... You should recall that there is plenty of Open space at Huntington Mall, and most of those stores are multi-site stores.
