AlterNet thinks the days of big-box retail in America are drawing to a close, with K-Mart closing 200 stores and Radio Shack 500 in the near future. If chains die, then local retail will have to return to the towns that big boxes sterilized - AlterNet sees that as young people opening up in currently vacant Main Street store fronts.
Could be. I'll bite. And those young people will need informational resources and a network for organization. It's the 21st-century equivalent of a chain store; all the benefits of a chain without the soullless scale.
