I hope the OP is wrong.  At this stage in my life, I much prefer the convenience of shopping at home, rather than trudging through a mall.  But then, again, I don't limit my in-home shopping to QVC.  I tend to spread things around!

I agree. I don't shop like I used to, but when I do, I like to venture out to shop. I don't hit the large regional malls like I used to because they're just overwhelming and not always a pleasure to navigate, but there are smaller and more local shopping options. I also shop a good bit on line. The key is not to think exclusively in terms of a single resource. At one time I did a lot of shopping here, but as they deteriorated, in my opinion, my purchases became fewer and fewer. There are lots of resources for having purchases delivered. This isn't the only game in town and it might be useful if both more customers and management kept that in mind.

@Shanus Amazon has to slow down too then.I have been spending a lot of money there lately.It is just too handy.They even send ups with a return label to your doorstep when you have a return.

@dex- I'm waiting for UPS right now, as we speak. Amazon is the best.

In a good economy, there is room for all of it, in my opinion, online as well and B&M stores. 

Variety is the spice of life!

Oh my, I think I might be insulted! LOL, (just kidding)

I still have two of the three! I have a wringer washer (it works and I've used it, but have an automatic that I use daily) and a typewriter (nice old one from probably the 1930's or 40's) that my dad authored two published books on. 

I've always wanted an ice box, and we still make our own ice cubes (no ice maker) so that almost counts! lol

LOL...I like your style.Why throw out stuff that works.Those new machines are designed to breakdown quickly to keep the production lines busy.PS I thought about a wringer washer too.My mom always had one and we had the cleanest clothes.I have the new low water washer and my clothes swish around in water that doesn't completely cover them.i consider the completed wash to be just an even distribution of dirt and germs.

I like shopping in areas like The Plaza in KC, downtown Ann Arbor, or Santa Fe.  However, as someone who was at a mall during a mass shooting, I do not go into malls any more and  prefer that my UPS guy just ring the doorbell and drop off my packages at my home.
