Agreed on our public shool system.
I went to GA’s Cumberland Mall to drop off my wife. Every parking lot was filled. The outlots were filled. There were nundreds of cars blocking the aisles, waiting, looking for a parking space.
Too many people are flush with money to spend.
Is there too much winning?
(except the parking lot beyond the former Sears had empty spaces. Proves it is not the economy that did in Sears. It is middle management that did in Sears.)
I went to a mall in Montebello recently, and I was shocked at the number of vehicles there.
They have a massive amount of parking there, and as you said, people circling for a space to park. It too me 25 minutes of circling to find a spot.
Speaking of flush with money, it never ceases to amaze me how the very expensive real-estate still manages to move.
I couldn’t afford these prices in my wildest dreams (okay, overkill), but the market isn’t flush with languishing real-estate.
As for Sears and Penny’s (or was it Montgomery Wards) and their big mail order catalogues. They were a no-brainer to go online, and they took a pass.
Ouch!
eBay and Amazaon cleaned their clock, and even upstarts HSN and QVC did as well.
