    We have plenty of those in town. Businesses either closed for good or moved where the people are now.

    Follow the crowds and the money.

    Yep, it really started after WWII when people started moving to the
    suburbs and shopping centres popping up to serve them.
    Then add in malls starting in the '60s, along with big box stores, and
    down towns all over the country started to look like ghost towns.
    Now with online shopping, malls are turning into ghost towns.

    Joe,

    But, you have to have someone there watching for the delivery
    vehicle, or your items may get stolen off of your porch.
