What does everyone else think?" Shy though I am about expressing my opinion, since you asked... Not necessarily. When a store closes, Those employed there may become unemployed although many large corporations offer other jobs elsewhere. Often these are too far away, so they part ways. Some large corporations even help former workers find employment elsewhere. Failing that, those who lose one job may quickly find work elsewhere. If people DO have to go elsewhere to get jobs, that sometimes yields less demand on governmental services which can reduce need for taxes. Usually taxes rise when population increases.

They jumped on it. Then cell phones came along, they jumped on that too. The problem was that the market was way too large for Radio Shack to compete in those things. I always called them Computer Cell Shack. Radio had been long been gone. It all started with the computer age. They jumped on it. Then cell phones came along, they jumped on that too.

I walked into a store in 1997 for to purchase a 10" woofer and was shocked to see how much the inventory line had been reduced. In 1977 they had it all.

I see Kmart closed on 9th Ave. But open in Pace/Milton. Don't see any store closures in Pace/Milton....maybe that is because the County Commissioners don't care about anything except tourism and downtown Pensacola.
