Who do you cheer for then, because ain't no mom and pop shop in existence anymore. The mall was the greatest counter to things like Walmart where a single company was profiting and not a conglomerate of businesses. The banks ruined main street not people trying to find and make the best place to sell things.

I split time between a major world city and a small (10k population) town. Both have many independent businesses. Where do you live that this is not the case?

Could any of those businesses get larger sitting where they are now? Or could they have grown into something bigger at a mall like venue?
