and in my travels this summer (my daughter teaches at universities around the country and I go with her and explore cities I’ve never been to), I’ve wandered through many malls that have lost 75% of business and are scheduled to close. But oddly, they are filled with youngsters, teenagers and young adults, socializing, and shopping in the remaining stores, and they have kept the food courts very much alive. Upon seeing this, I did some research and found out that this is going on all around the country and that these kids are tired of having all the fun of shopping (and hunting) end with Bezos delivering all their needs at their front doorstep.
