I thought a Strip Mall watch would be interesting - and here one is. OK, I'll keep an eye on my most local strip mall - drugstore, health club, some oriental food shops, deli, bagel place, liquor store, bank, Starbucks, ice cream shop, card shop, organic food and vitamin shop, bakery outlet.

What has closed so far: tanning salon.

btw... $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')Round Table Pizza issued a statement to the media today saying that the closures are permanent. And they regret having to exit the Boise market, but said the restaurants were no longer economically viable.
Several factors went into the decision to leave Boise. Among them were a combination of low consumer confidence, driven by high fuel prices and the subprime mortgage crisis, couple with record high commodities prices for items such as cheese and wheat.

Aound here in the chicago suburbs countless storefronts and malls have more stores vacant than operational, as well as closed car dealerships, and lots where old buildings were demolished and there is noone to buy the land to build anything new. This is not the in the hood, this is in the affluent dupage county suburbs!
