I can understand why many of the places noted are open. For the chain restaurants, quite often it is just that you know what you are going to get when you go there.
For example, look at BP's. I used to go there quite often because it was a convenient hang out after volleyball games. Especially when we got team discounts. Pitchers of beer were cheaper there than it was at most bars. I still go every once in a while and I do enjoy the Boston Brute & Cactus Cut Potatoes.
The same can be said for various other chains listed. Most have one or two things that I don't mind and even crave on occasion. When I have a sore throat, there is nothing I want more than McDonalds french fries. Salty, scratchy and warm.

Now Fort Richmond Plaza is something that surprises me that it is still open. It sounds like you are a little younger than me. When I went to FRC, we would eat at the Chicken Delight or the burger joint (Mug Restaurant? Tug Boat Restaurant?). Those are long gone. That mall seems to get a little worse every year.
