Other day I took the old highway because the interstate was backed up. (Central Jersey)
Could not believe all the large office complexes, strip mall stores, etc. with “For Lease” or “For Sale” signs or just plain deserted.
Ditto. A once-famous and consistently-packed shopping mall on my side of town is on the verge of closing. Nearly all the satellite businesses are already boarded up. Knowing what the area once was is just surreal.
Sadly, it is happening everywhere in the country. Except for a few stores that converted some space for Amazon use, so people who shop online via Amazon can return goods via an Amazon store outlet. Went to a local Kohl's department store and saw that a large portion was converted to Amazon use.
