The Source mall is slated for the auction block, with a foreclosure sale set for Aug. 28.

The retail center debuted with great fanfare in 1997, but in recent years it has struggled as onetime anchor tenant Fortunoff and other major retailers have departed.

Now local real estate experts are speculating whether the mall even has a future, with some saying it should be torn down and others arguing the right developer could make it a success.
