no mall on this ground in any generation — the absence dated
The succession test has nothing to succeed: the American theater succession — palace to mall cinema to multiplex to megaplex — requires a mall, and no mall has stood on New Carlisle's ground in any generation of the corridor's development. Dated by the corridor's actual generations, at boundary size: the palace generation (the 1920s) passed while this town's named-house count stood at the opera house already counted; the mall generation (the 1960s–80s) built its enclosed centers in the South Bend–Mishawaka ground east — University Park's ground is Mishawaka's build's whole — and put no center, and therefore no mall cinema, on this town's corridor; the multiplex and megaplex generations (the 1990s–2000s) likewise concentrated east, on the same ground. New Carlisle's retail course, as the Businesses file documents it, stayed a main-street course in every one of those generations. The row therefore prints as a tested negative with its dates on it: not "the multiplex closed" but "no generation of the succession ever arrived" — palace 0, mall cinema 0, multiplex 0, as of November 2026, with no site in the town awaiting the next generation either.
