Some of these closings wouldn’t also happen to have anything to do with indoor malls and some strip malls becoming havens for gangs of teens, would they?
That is what does it for me.
The only way to get me back is to borrow Amazon's idea of a store where one must use a credit card to get in. A mall where entrance to the parking lot required showing a credit card and having your picture taken with the card (to prevent using stolen ones) and then individual card swipes to get each individual into the mall (no cost, but the card requirement stops the feral Utes cold).
