Right. The business model is shifting. Just like it did in the late ‘50’s and early ‘60’s from the central business district to malls. Now malls are dying in favor of online shopping. Why deal with traffic, parking, crowds and rude salespeople when you can press a button?

I loved the old "downtown" business district. Each store was different, had its own unique look and scent. There were few chain stores in the '50s and '60s, so less cookie-cutter sameness. The grand old department stores of the were a marvel, with many levels, starting with the "bargain basement" and going up, up and up...
Always HATED malls. Good riddance. Hope they are bulldozed to smithereens and allowed to go back to nature.
