I like Amazon fo the type of things that they sell. I think local stores need to start focusing more on the old style of business. More local fresh or hand made or artisan type business. You're never going to compete with Amazon on typical goods. The local money will be made for business that are local and for business that start to get to know their customers and integrate as part of the community. Malls are going to have a tough time surviving if they don't reinvent themselves.
