The rise of e-commerce has changed the rules of the retail game, and brick-and-mortar sellers who still think it’s enough to open a storefront and wait for legions of passersby to walk in won’t exist for much longer.
Mix in a healthy dose of economic uncertainty and it’s easy to see why even the established players are vanishing from view.
These sleek, once-crowded spaces have been slowly, sadly hollowed out, with many surviving by converting to office space, their public corridors now dominated by mall walkers and the occasional stroller.
Still, sometimes the architecture beckons, a silent reminder of what once was and will likely never be again.
I get why we lost what we had, yet part of me will always miss what it felt like when it was at its peak.
