Wow, that brought back some memories.
So a lot of those stores took a hit once the malls set up, and now malls are closing in places because of internet shopping. Amazon wins, I suppose. But what an economic wasteland created in its wake.
Saw my first mall in 1976 (we had been overseas in the mid-70s). While it was convenient in some ways, no one was thinking about what would happen to the smaller shopping centers. I guess those shopping centers had contributed to death of Main Street stores like BenF's Five and Dime.
Cheers
