Malls Are Going the Way of Drive-Ins

Malls! Every town had them, when I was young.

Once-bustling American malls are going bust as shoppers flock to online retailers instead of sprawling, brick-and-mortar locations.

Ten years from now, there will be approximately 150 malls left in the US, Nick Egelanian, president of retail consulting firm SiteWorks, told The Wall Street Journal.

That’s down from around 2,500 locations in the 1980s and 700 today, Egelanian said.

Christmas shopping in the mall!

Now you kids get off my lawn.
