Same here in Framingham/Natick, MA, the shopping capital of Massachusetts. I’ve lived in the area my entire life, and my memory goes back to the Nixon administration.
I don’t recall a vacant storefront—ever.
Now, there is one vacant strip mall. Another downscale mini-mall is half vacant. Every other strip mall has at least one vacancy. And the crown jewel of upscale shopping just re-branded as “The Natick Mall,” from the “Natick Collection.”
Worst economy in 50 years. Easily.

But that is a good thing right — those evil rich are not paying their fair share. I know, it doesn't make sense but that is Obama’s mantra.
