Interesting, but I don't get a lot of the author's arguments.
> And there it is. The dreaded wig shop. Flagship of retail desperation and harbinger of doom. Next stop, evangelical day care centers and government offices to fill the void.
What's wrong with any of those businesses? Wig shops seem popular in a lot of places, especially with black women. People willing to spend on beauty are usually a good draw for a mall. Day cares bring in predictable revenue per kid. I've been to mall DMVs and gone shopping afterward.
> The buses only exist because the federal government mandates them as a condition of continued highway funding. It’s pointless.
What's pointless? The photos show people waiting at the bus stop, so clearly it's useful to someone.
- michaelt 7y agoGoogle tells me there aren't a lot of wig stores, so customers will usually seek out stores - meaning they can often be put in low-traffic low-rent areas.
