#1 Yeah, they could be another COVID casualty, but I wonder how much their insurance went up after the riots.

#2 ^ Apple's business model specifies that the insurance company pays premiums to Apple, not the other (usual) way around...

#3 "Early last year..."
That would be 2019. Sounds like this mall has been in a death spiral for a while. Much like a lot of malls are. Online buying is killing them. The antisocial plague is just hurrying things up.

#4 Watched a video of "The Mall" in Sierra Vista, AZ. I thought the guy was there on a Sunday morning, but he said it was a Saturday afternoon. It was incredibly desolate. I suppose even Fort Huachuca isn't enough to support it. But, I should think, as mentioned, that malls/brick-and-mortar outlets are all suffering with the advent of on-line shopping. Hate to see it in a way, but that's progress/life.
