<<The drop in sales that mall managers feared e-commerce

tripped up the traffic in America's beloved shopping malls
one bit (Forbes).>>

Anyone looking at the traffic in shopping malls the last three years could have told you that, Glenn! There have no closures that I'm aware of at the two malls we shop at. Even on beautiful days in the spring, I can drive by a mall and from the highway see many many cars in the lots. I wonder how many of those folks at the mall would be willing to sit at home on beautiful days in the spring, and shop online ?!

I recall a few of the more rabid proponents of any and every promise of ecommerce arguing that b&m would go the way of the horse and buggy. Well, it ain't gonna happen.
