Shopping malls are still big business in America, but for how long? |
The American tradition of spending a weekend afternoon at a shopping mall is vanishing. Although some malls are still very profitable, many of them are closing down. One reason is that many traditional retail chains are going out of business. Amazon and the Internet have changed the way we shop. But there was something special about going to the movies, eating in the food court, and browsing the big stores at the local mall. I have many fond memories of afternoons and evenings spent in our hometown mall when I grew up. It's gone now.
