    It has nothing to do with the pandemic. It's to do with the demographics. The state is now very Hispanic. White people don't live there anymore, they don't shop there anymore. They've moved out of the area or out of the state. And things have drastically changed for the worst.

    I've been shopping at that Mall for almost 40 years! It use to be called "The Mall of Orange," then they sold it, and renamed it, "The Village of Orange." My kids grew-up going to that Mall. It used to be PACKED! What about WALMART that's connected to that Mall, it couldn't be shutting down too! What a shame; I feel like a part of me is dying.

    Shopping in person doesn't mean you're "behind the times". Some of us can chew gum and walk at the same time. I don't have to pick one over the other, I can do both. Sometimes, depending on the item, I might want to try on a piece of clothing before buying it or I might need something right now and not tomorrow.

    Actually, malls still had a little juice left in the early-mid 00's since online shopping was in its infancy and had not yet completely overtaken brick and mortar stores. I'd say at the turn of the 2010's is when most malls and brick and mortar stores really begin to decline due to online shopping. This was happening long before the pandemic. The pandemic was just in many ways the final nail in the coffin to many of these malls and brick and mortar stores.@@mikeluther60
