The topic was a store closing. Patches mentioned TJ Maxx, I mentioned Macy's as a store in a mall that keeps losing business. Try to keep up. I could come up with good reasons that fault our politicians, if I wanted to, but I didn't.
Filene's just expanded the Hess' space, as I recall. Quit being a jerk, and rehabilitate yourself.

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

What delusional planet do you live on???   Banks most certainly do count as a business.  While there is internet banking, how do you explain the fact that every bank is investing in new branches or updating existing branches?

people don't off hand just say "I'm going to hannaford plaza there's a nice bank there".....banks just happen to be there
and people pick whatever is in front of them to do banking, and that's even if they use a bank...I work with a lot of
folks that don't 'bank'.......
