I went shopping with youngest son on Saturday. We went to the North Shore Mall on Rte 128. I worked on the north shore for ten years, back before I retired. Used to stop into the North Shore Mall regularly. This was the first time back there in ten years. It was a nice Saturday, no snow, temperature in the 50's, sunny, a nice day.
And the place, a truly big mall, was far from crowded. There were some shoppers, but not all that many, compared to what they used to have. And the shops were women's clothing, cosmetics, GMC herbs, new age crystals. Nothing much to attract a guy. No Radio Shack, no men's wear, no hardware. The North Slope didn't have ski gear or snowshoes, or ice fishing stuff, or winter camping gear. They only had two colors of parkas, black and International Orange. I don't like either color. We did find a Lego store, and a Brookstone, but that was about it as far as stores selling guy stuff.
Any how, I'm glad I don't have to make a living in retail. Let's guess, Amazon and Walmart and Target, and Home Despot have taken the North Shore Mall customers.
