I live near a large,well known mall in suburbia...a mall surrounded by very wealthy towns.This mall features Gucci as well as other stores...obviously very high end...that I've never heard of.It also has Sears,Macy's and other well known stores.

Particularly in the last year more and more stores are closing up.At least a third of the retail floor space in this mall is currently vacant.I go there regularly because it's a great place to walk but there's never anyone there...even on Saturdays.

Brick and mortar retail stores are dying...for better or for worse.

its demographics.

..the population ages and WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE STUFF....

plus the fact that people do not marry nor have children...

children are almost despised by some....

so why are we surprised...

a vacuum will fill up....which is why so many are racing to to our borders....
