Suburban sprawl was the beginning of the death of the downtowns. The malls were a consequence.

I’ll give that to, to a point. the first mall was far away from us it was them expanding over the years that helped kill main streets. There is hardly much room in most Mass towns for suburban sprawl.

Our first mall was built in the 60’s and stayed the only one for years, now they are all over.

Maybe, but malls began dying when they started letting urban undesirables in.
