I've never thought of the Galleria as a dump. It's only about 20 years old. It has an Apple Store in it, which few other malls do.
When they first built it, they included a storefront on First Street, as did several of the neighboring buildings built at the same time. I think the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority required these storefronts. They did not attract tenants, and the Galleria storefront eventually became the constituent service office of Congressman Mike Capuano. Others became day care centers or office space.
