I'm old enought (35) to remember going to downtown McKeesport Pa to go shopping. There were so many great stores, and the weather was somethign you just dealt with. Then the Malls came. The malls had everything, plus better weather. [:D] I miss some of the older stores i shopped in as a child. However the choice, price, and service have led to Walmarts huge growth. Now if you are watching, downtowns are reinventing themselves. Dover De. main street is turnign into an artist comunity. Portland Or. has a fantastic downtown area, with light rail to help get people around. Walmart helped change the Paradign, however what will come along and replace walmart? In our area Acme markest are offering online shopping for a cost of 5.00. Now if you hav e ahuge order, and have no time, is 5 bucks any more than a great deal? I think they will be swamped, and that this will spread. <br /> Don't hate walmart for their success. Plenty of hobby shops have done thmeselves to death, with no one to blame but themselves. Not everyone is born with the talent to create a successful business. <br /> Bill
